DocDay 101
DOCUMENTARY FOR BEGINNERS
WEDNESDAY 8 JUNE 2011 / 09:30 - 18:00 / THE HUBS
DocDay 101 was an inspiring, intensive and entertaining day of hands-on sessions and workshops for beginners produced by The Documentary Filmmakers Group (DFG).
It was an amazing chance to hear first hand from the professionals, and learn about how they approached documentary filmmaking. During the day there were presentations, workshops and a range of leading industry mentors available on the day to help the attendees develop their short doc ideas, giving them feedback, advice and tips. DocDay 101 was aimed at those new to documentary filmmaking.
As part of the DocDay 101 programme participants developed their own ideas for a short documentary, which they worked up with an industry mentor. The day ended with a micro-pitch (with special prizes won). Some of the best documentary practitioners from around the UK; directors, producers, editors and commissioners were there to help with the process.
