CINEMA with Cellphone Lab, with Marta Belo
Aimed at classes from Júlio Dantas Secondary School and Clube Escola Azul (Naus)
during the month of February, 2024
Synopsis
In this workshop we will learn about the various genres of cinema that exist (fiction, documentary, experimental, music video, etc.) and understand the main characteristics that define them. Then we’ll choose the genre to explore, so that together we can work on our narrative, define each person’s role in the production team and produce a short film from scratch, recorded with our cell phones.
The supervisor will then work on post-production on site, following the participants’ guidelines, while introducing them to some video editing techniques and tools.
At the end there will be a film session where everyone can watch the short film created during the workshop and exchange ideas about the result.
Biography
Marta Belo graduated in Communication Sciences – Cinema and Television from Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2010. Since then she has worked as a freelancer in video and photography production and post-production, with a special interest in cultural, educational, artistic and community projects.
As an artist, she creates keyframe animations from digital cut-outs (from photography, drawing, painting, etc.), and explores the potential of light refraction through various surfaces and elements in search of abstract worlds and emotional narratives.
She is also currently part of Cinema À Margem, a project that aims to bring the experience of cinema back to areas where it no longer exists.
