Uri Bar -On
Final Projects
In the modern age where content crosses platforms- broadcast on television, digitally, on all social media channels, in an age where international distribution and streaming channels are more open than ever, the place of content creators is prominent in the global market.
The workshop will focus on investigating and developing stories bases on social documentary content and docu-activism, or a short feature film that try to shape reality, change it, and influence it. We will examine the creator's place in dealing with social, cultural, and political issues and how much the camera affects the documented reality. At the center of the workshop is an emphasis on finding the story, investigation, working methods in the field, interview theory adapted to the various format, script, directing, photography, and practical production of films/ web-series/other digital platforms.
We will gain progress and examine our idea not only in words but rather hands on experiencing with testing those on video. Doing that will give us a solid understanding of the creative path to follow. The classes will combine face -to-face meetings with field work, with a weekly analysis of the work stages of the participants. At the end of the year, the students will have a project adapted to all production requirements in the industry, in the field of documentary field, Short feature film, documentary webseries, Investigation series, or an activist project.
