Introduction to Storytelling: becoming a Filmmaker

With Timi O’Neil, UWTSD Science and Art Lecturer in Film and TV

The course is an introduction into the world of storytelling and its use within filmmaking. Understanding how story works is not just vital for filmmaking, it is the beginning, middle and end of it. Without story, we do not have a film. We have instead a collection of images and sounds that lack that most important element...meaning.  

During the 6 lessons, we will introduce you to the world of storytelling with the aim of making you confident in making your own short film. You will learn how to create characters, produce visual language and edit these to a professional level.
