Workshops 4 & 5: National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA)
9-12.30pm: W4. Audiovisual documentation workshops
Convenor: Matthew Davies (NFSA)
The audiovisual documentation workshops will comprise practical exercises which will be undertaken by a small group consisting of 1 NFSA resource person and 3 Symposium delegates. We will run 2 sessions on each of the 3 days of the conference so a total of 18 delegates will be able to participate. The aims of the documentation workshop are to develop skills in using audiovisual and photographic techniques to document an event, in this case this Symposium, and to practice using Internet services to disseminate the resulting audiovisual and photographic records. All participating delegates will be required to attend a meeting from 1 PM to 3 PM on Monday 12th July; followed by one day of practical work with the NFSA team leader on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday; and finally attend a 2 hour session to complete their project on Friday the 16th of July. Delegates will benefit from the NFSA staff’s professional advice on technical and aesthetic issues.
