Workshop overview

 

Heritage sites and collections are often some of the most beautiful displays of architecture, art, history and much more, consistently drawing in eager communities and crowds throughout the year. The last 12 months has seen heritage organisations experience the difficult ordeal of having to close their doors to visitors.

 

This two-hour film-making workshop, delivered by our highly experienced, expert film-maker Nick Street, presents you with the unique opportunity to continue bringing visually pleasing and varied content to an ever-growing digital audience. Unconstrained by distance, social media platforms are a fantastic way for heritages organisations to continue sharing their work.

 

This workshop will get you started in thinking about the right tools, apps and the legalities around creating films to represent your organisations. Nick will walk you through the process step by step, with lots of support and advice along the way, and provide you with all the top tips and guidance you need to start creating amazing visuals!
