Filming under sail. Floating Film Studio

Filming while sailing, filming while sailing – a film studio on the sailing barge de Lis. Do you love sailing, being on the water, and do you have a love for film, light, and sound? During this weekend and at the 24-hour race, it is a full moon. And in the spring, the light on the water is even more special. Filming Under Sail is a film studio on the sailing barge De Lis from Muiden. In this multi-day masterclass, we combine sailing with filming, paying attention to observing changing light, sound, and focus. Furthermore, we sail and stay on the atmospheric sailing barge De Lis, with comfortable sleeping accommodations in the double cabins. Film lecturer: Marieke Rodenburg, documentary filmmaker (Philming) Skipper: Leon Oosterbroek of sailing barge de Lis During these days, you will learn or deepen your film skills and work on a cinematic production, either your own or a joint one. Whether it becomes a personal, informative, nature, or experimental film, the studio focuses on visual storytelling, (learning) to think, and exploring a translation into film. In short, a sailing, cinematic creative exploration on board! Technical aspects serve the story: camera work and composition, lighting), use of sound, (basic) editing (support), and depend on your experience. Who: (Aspiring) storytellers with ambitions in visual storytelling. Basic knowledge of camera and editing is helpful, but not required. Naturally, for sailing enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys being on the water. Sailing experience is not necessary, but a desire and willingness to help with sailing is. Language of instruction: Dutch (English available if desired) Where: We sail out of the home port of the Lis, Muiden, onto the Markermeer. Depending on the weather, we spend the night at anchor or at an island.

Storywriter/Screenwriter Wanted! (Interview)

Call for Interviews for a Thesis (Storywriter/Screenwriter – Psychological Thriller) For my thesis at the Dutch Filmers Academy (Film and Audiovisual Media), I am looking for a storywriter or screenwriter with experience in (or substantive knowledge of) the thriller genre, preferably psychological thrillers. My thesis focuses on the question: How do narratological and audiovisual choices in the opening of Run (Aneesh Chaganty, 2020) contribute to character identification? In this research I analyze how elements such as: • character introduction • perspective and information dosage • tension build-up • editing, camera work and sound determine in the first minutes of a film who the viewer will sympathize with, who he will trust and where the discomfort arises—a crucial mechanism within the psychological thriller. For my research I am looking for someone who: • has experience with storywriting or screenwriting, • has insight into thriller or psychological suspense, • can reflect on opening scenes, character positioning and suspense, • is prepared to discuss this in an interview (± 45–60 minutes). If you have experience primarily with thrillers (but not specifically psychological thrillers), you're also very welcome. Interested or have questions? Feel free to send me a message or email to my email address! Thanks in advance for your thoughts — Elijah Witterland Student Film & Audiovisual Design Dutch Filmers Academy [email protected]
