Summer Taster workshops

As part of this year’s Summer Taster Workshops, Castlereagh Arts was pleased to invite ‘Best Cellars: Music and Media Playground’ to host Saturday’s workshop on documentary filmmaking. Led by company director, Dean Llewellyn, and attended by numerous local amateur filmmakers, performers, and writers, the workshop introduced participants to the art of shooting a documentary for television. In an open and friendly environment, Dean, whose clients include The BBC Blast Project, the Community Relations Council and Engage with Age, demonstrated how best to hold and position a camera; the most effective way to ‘tell a story’ and conduct an interview; and how and when to use voiceovers and music. After helping themselves to some tea and nibbles, everyone, then, was given the opportunity to get creative both behind and in front of the camera! All in all, it was a thoroughly informative and enjoyable afternoon, with attendees getting the chance to gain inside knowledge of the media industry.
