MV Workshop

And it’s all over for the 6th MV Workshop with just dinner, some downtime, the amazing documentary slideshows and MV 7 to look forward to!

Throughout the week, the MV media team has been recording the workshop with both stills and video footage. Some of these shots have been used in the blog to give a daily insight into the workshop process but It is not until the final day that all the material can be finally edited and prepared for a slideshow retrospective of the weeks events.

Photographer Jasmine Jade at Sheringham High School, where her assignment was to document the working day of Headmaster, Dr Andrew Richardson. The experience helped her build on her intuitive people skills and her understanding of the documentary process.

Suzanne Black, out on patrol with her subject, local policeman and Beat Manager, Ian Smith. Over the two day assignment she experienced his extremely fast paced days with constantly changing situations and it was an ideal scenario in which to hone her documentary skills.

Waist high waders were an extra bit of kit needed by Rob Sanderson for his assignment shadowing boat builder Neil Thompson. Rob’s two days of shooting offered him scope to shoot both the manufacturing side at the boatyard and also the launching and testing process at the coast.

Critiques after the first shooting day of assignments.

Yvonne explained that the challenge of her assignment had been the necessarily extensive metal fencing surrounding each animal. With very few visitors at this time of year, she had focussed the story on the ‘caged’ aspect of the zoo and was looking forward to refining the direction of her planned story the following day and bringing with her a longer lens to get even closer to the animals.
