Beginner-Level Filmmaking Workshop: ’interiors’
IMAGO Gallery | Saturday, March 7, 10 AM –1:30 PM
Limit 10 people | $25
Learn the concept of mis-en-scène—set-design, costuming and make-up—and explore the theme of “interiors” with Imago filmmaker Katherine Reaves. Designed for those 18+, IMAGO’s film workshops introduce the aspiring filmmaker to the basics of film language through practice and doing. Although designed for beginners, experienced filmmakers are also welcome.
All you need is a smartphone or camera capable of taking video, plus enthusiasm and curiosity. Participants should know how to take a selfie and work their phone or camera. The goal is to leave with the tools to take to your own projects and to have a starting point to learn more.
Participants will be assigned a prearranged, local space in downtown Warren. Respond to the interior with a “5x5”—five different shots, five seconds each. Return to the gallery to edit and view the final products in class. This exercise builds on the previous workshop, where participants were introduced to the basic shots and angles, but it is open to all and participation in the previous workshop or Film Club is not a prerequisite.

Imago Film Club
Ongoing in the gallery: Thursdays, March 19 | 6:30–8 PM | Free
Join the club for a lively conversation on the art of film, facilitated by Katherine Reaves, filmmaker, videographer and Imago community member. We are a small group of film friends learning together.
​
This month Film Club will continue its investigation into the development of the art of the film editor. From Hollywood Continuity editing, filmmakers saw possibilities for experimentation in the powerful visual storytelling the new art form provided.The impact of two hugely influential movements, German Expressionism and Soviet Montage, are still enjoyed by today's film artists. We will also enjoy some contemporary short films.
All are welcome.
