Festival TV Makers – Volunteering with Free Film Training
Details
Description
If developing filmmaking skills or testing your existing skills while making an impact interests you, this is definitely for you. Our autumn free “Train & Shoot” programme for volunteers is open to everyone aged 16 and over. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or have never held a camera, this is a unique volunteer programme with hands-on, face-to-face camera training and professional shoots. Once your skills are honed, participants will form crews to film debates and panels at the Battle of Ideas Festival in Westminster in October 26. This is a volunteer run festival featuring high level speakers on politics, science, history, culture and the arts. This project will result in the production of over 50 videos for online distribution. Every volunteer will be credited for their work—and in the media world, credits are currency. We’ll also provide lunches and cover local travel expenses.

How to Volunteer for This Opportunity
This is a volunteer opportunity to make film & video for public benefit. No prior skills are required. The charity WORLDwrite’s autumn 26 train and shoot volunteer package is designed to help you make factual programmes with us. A dynamic blend of online and face-to-face sessions, all volunteers receive immersive camera training using WORLDwrite’s top-end film equipment and invaluable hands-on experience behind the lens. This opportunity is open to everyone, regardless of your level of experience, whether you’re a seasoned Hollywood director or have never touched a camera. Three evening crew meetings via Zoom and 8 face to face sessions is all it takes! All volunteers are credited for their input, references are provided along with travel expenses to shoots and lunches on training & shoot days.
