Witness.org has a great series of short, explanatory videos on creating activist films. These are great tips to help novice (or even experienced) filmmaker’s direct and collect footage for impactful advocacy films.
It can be harder to make an ethical and logical activist film than you might think! There’s more to filmmaking than owning a camera and pointing it at your subject. From finding a subject to editing your footage, there are technical and ethical situations to take into consideration.
Witness.org is all about using the “power of video and storytelling” to make a difference on the human rights scene. If you want to build your passion for filmmaking to empower people and share powerful images, check out this video series.
The videos cover:
-filming
-protecting your subjects
-setting goals and actions for your video
-audio and lighting skills
-editing your footage
-distributing your video and raising awareness
-assess the role and impact of your film
