Welcome to First Cut! Youth Film Workshops Training Gala and Festival 2013

 

Filmmaking & Animation Workshops open to young aspiring filmmakers

 

First Cut! is an exciting project for aspiring young filmmakers that has been designed to provide opportunities for young people to access and engage in professional filmmaking activity in a youth setting.

Since 2006 First Cut! has provided a programme of workshops, summer schools and film screening events including an annual Festival The overall aim has been to involve young people enjoyably in filmmaking; build their confidence and skills; give them the opportunity to express their thoughts, opinions and ideas through the medium of film. We are delighted to be able to offer a progression route for young filmmakers from beginners, through to intermediate and advanced.

First Cut! is offering one-day workshops, each one giving 12 participants a basic grounding in filmmaking techniques and equipment, and producing a basic short film. The First Cut!  one-day workshop is designed to give participants a solid introduction to the basics of animation or digital filmmaking.

These Level 1 workshops consisted of two tutors, professional filmmakers, engaged by Cork Film Centre travelling to work with a group in their school or regular local meeting place. The mornings will provide hands-on instruction in how to use equipment and a solid grounding in the basic theoretical knowledge needed to coherently plan and shoot a film. The afternoon will then be devoted to brainstorming and shooting a basic short film.

WORKSHOPS WILL BE OFFERED TO 8 GROUPS ON A FIRST-COME/FIRST-SERVE BASIS
