Description:
The goal of this workshop is to give participants the basic elements and tools essential to the construction of a documentary film scenario.
During the course of this workshop, participants will work on practical exercises which will be accompanied by presentations on screenwriting theory, demonstrations and short videos that will help them to better understand the structure of documentary filmmaking. By the end of the day, participants will have written a one page scenario that they can share with the group.
