Free Participatory Video Workshop
Weds 19th October 

All the basics of filmmaking and a complete video in one day!
ReachAbility offered the Oxford Active Citizens and the Women's Interfaith Network (WIN) and participants of the 'Sow & Grow'(WIN) a free place on a video making workshop with our office space neighbours, InsightShare.
During the workshop participants learnt how to use the different pieces of equipment that you need to film: a camera, microphones, headphones and a tripod, before making a short film together with the other members of the group.  They chose the theme, and no previous experience of filmmaking was necessary, just the wish to have fun together! 

Please contact Marleen Bovenmars at InsightShare (see the info below) or the ReachAbility Team if you would like to learn any more details.
