Who is the workshop for?

The workshop is for anyone who is interested in poetry film or who is wanting to take their first steps towards it.

​

What will the workshop cover? On this two half-day workshop we will:

• Be inspired by looking at some of the many different styles, genres, and types of poetry film.

• Identify similarities between film and poetry and what putting these together can offer.

• Discuss in detail how to make a poetry film and then have a chance to make your own.

• There will be lots of practical hints and tips as well as detailed handouts.

• Opportunities for workshopping your poetry film

​

Any Special Equipment and Software needed: No specialist equipment is necessary. We’ll mainly be focused on using a phone for recording video and sound, and a laptop or desktop for editing (but editing can also be done on a phone).

​

There are many editing programmes that are free or reasonably low cost, and we’ll discuss some of the pros and cons and how to find the right one.

​
