DSLR & large sensor camera workshop for documentary at Islands.doc in Madeira

DSLR & large sensor camera workshop for documentary at Islands.doc in Madeira
Nino Leitner


I am very happy to announce that I will be giving a 2-day DSLR and large sensor camera workshop for documentary filmmaking at islands.doc, a three day documentary showcase held at the award winning building Centro das Artes on the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal, from June 16-17.

The best thing about it – apart from the amazing location – it’s completely free, as is the entire festival!! They are showing some amazing films there, for example Press Pause Play.

So in case you are around or can make a spontaneous trip to this beautiful place, definitely go ahead and come! I have never been to Madeira so I am really looking forward to spending a few days there. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days off too, so you might be able to combine the workshop / film festival with a short vacation.

This being a documentary festival – probably my favourite thing to shoot – I will focus the workshop around documentary filmmaking.

Here’s what I will cover in detail:

  • Know your camera – DSLRs & large sensor cameras
  • Sound recording & interviewing techniques
  • Approaching a shoot & planning
  • Picking a subject for documentary & researching
  • Camera movement, framing & shot sizes
  • Cinematic storytelling with the right choice of lenses, camera positioning and lighting
  • Showing own examples of my documentary work and how I approached them, what I did and why – and how I would do it differently now.
  • Timelapsing – theory & demonstration
  • Post Production – some theory on editing documentaries and “making” the film, what do look at and how to deal with the amounts of footage

I am looking forward to meeting you all there. If you want to take part, get in touch with me, and I’ll forward your request to the organizer!

There are only a few remaining spaces available, so please hurry up.

  1. Hi Nino,
    How did it go?
    I was in Madeira many years ago shooting hotels for Tui [before the recession]. Lovely people, very chilled place. And lovely black beaches!
