THE WAY WE DO THINGS

1.THE BFC APPROACH is pretty unique and flexible. We teach individuals, groups or entire classes worldwide and we teach them either alone, in pairs or as whole teams. Most of our workshops are planned months ahead and they are carefully designed to suit the client’s expectations, needs and ideas. Our approach include :

- An in-depth introduction into advanced multimedia storytelling.

- A lecture in the perspectives of multimedia storytelling and a qualified take on how technology and recession changed photojournalism forever.

- An insight into cross-platform journalism and how to approach markets and clients.

2.PLANNING a web documentary is essential. We will teach you how to approach that serious piece of visual journalism that you have in mind. We can teach you how to:

- Prepare your interviews and locations.

- Set up workflows and outline rough storyboards.

- Prepare shotlists and equipment.

3.SHOOTING is one of hardest yet most rewarding parts of multimedia production. We can teach you how to:

- Record audio. Work with different microphones, techniques and formats.

- Shoot video with an HD-DSLR camera. Work with a variety of settings and codecs.

- Sequence your visuals and plan the shooting in the most ideal way.

4.EDITING AND POST PRODUCTION always take a long time. But it is in the editing room that the real magic takes place. We can teach you how to:

- Compress your raw material into an Apple friendly codec and setup Final Cut Pro/Express.

- Edit audio with an external audio editing software like Audacity, Soundbooth or Hindenburg Journalist.

- Storyboard the entire story before you actually start on the edit – a real time saver and an extremely rewarding process.

- Log and transfer your audio/video files and work on the timeline on your edit.

- Create stunning motion graphics and interactivity in basic Flash and After Effects.

5.FEEDBACKis of extreme importance. We always spend a lot of time on judging the work produced in the most constructive way. All students and participants on our workshops recieve a written, personal and motivated feedback on their work.
