\nWed Sept. 28 (6-8pm Schmitt Hall 104)

\nDirectly linked to the \u201cAdopt an Italian UNESCO Site<\/a>\u201d video contest for students, this workshop has two main goals. First, it is designed to provide students with tools and tips on how to select ideas, develop stories, and envision formats for an audiovisual work that will be their submission for the contest. It is an ideal forum for students to share in-progress projects and to receive targeted feedback. Secondly, the workshop is an occasion to learn about collaborative work across disciplines through specific examples provided by the presenters.
\nSince the contest encourages joint efforts – especially but not exclusively, between students of Italian and Filmmaking – the workshop is a perfect opportunity to mix and meet. Students will be able to identify a partner for their project and understand how to share tasks and use their diverse backgrounds at their best.
\nThe program includes short presentations, screening of examples that students can use as models, and group work. RSVP at this link<\/a> and be prepared to watch and analyze the materials below* before the workshop in order to make it into a dynamic experience. Ideally students should come to the meeting with a draft or pre-draft for the project that they are considering developing and eventually submitting. While this is not a requirement, it will create the perfect environment for a productive exchange.
