Whether you just have a desire to film Africa’s fascinating wildlife, or you are aiming to build a career in the competitive field of wildlife filmmaking, then Africa Media’s wildlife filmmaking experiential training program will be perfect for you.
Africa Media’s wildlife filmmaking program is a 4 week experiential learning program that guides film students into the heart of wild Africa. At its core, the program aims to develop a new generation (of all ages) of professional wildlife filmmakers capable of entering into one or more to the various roles that comprise the wildlife filmmaking industry.
The program pairs students with some of Africa’s top professional wildlife filmmakers and wildlife experts who will act as both your guides and personal tutors during your time on the program. They will share their industry knowledge and filmmaking skills with you as you research, develop, film and edit your own personal wildlife documentary.
Over the 28 days program, students will move through the three primary phases of producing a broadcast standard wildlife documentary: pre-production, production, and post production. Pre-production phase will be dedicated to ensuring students gain a sound understanding of camera operation, editing techniques, audio use, sequencing, storytelling and developing your own personal documentary. During production, the team will spend nine days on one of Africa’s top wildlife reserves where we will focus purely on capturing incredible content for your documentary. Post-production will be spent dedicated to editing and presenting a final 5 minute documentary.
This program is aimed at introducing students to the real world of wildlife filmmaking, the highs, lows, challenges that wildlife filmmakers face daily when trying to document the world’s incredible wildlife and wild places.
