This event takes place in German.
The compact format of video portraits and short documentaries has become increasingly popular in recent years. Video portraits and short documentaries follow the format of feature-length documentaries, but tell a simpler story in less time. They focus exclusively on one aspect, a unique story, and a vision.
For this reason, brevity is crucial – and it's important to get to the point quickly to make a lasting impression.
How do I find suitable stories and protagonists, and what are the key elements for developing and producing my own video portrait or short documentary?
What personnel resources and technical equipment do I need for production?
Basic knowledge of video production is required to participate in this training.
However, this training is also suitable for interested beginners.
The training courses offered by the MMKH are free of charge for employees of the University of Hamburg.
