Who Are We?
Spectacle is an award winning TV production company with over 25 years experience of running workshops, both nationally and internationally. Spectacle specialises in investigative journalism with a focus on social documentary and community media. [see Archive link.].
We are committed to opening up access to media tools and platforms and developing a participatory, democratised and integrated model of good practice. We are always happy to hear from the motivated and passionate.
What Can We Offer?
Our training involves a wide range of people and organisations, helping them to gain hands-on production skills and experience. [see Archive.].Our practice is workshop-based with an emphasis on participatory democracy, urbanism and social justice. The courses we offer cover all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production and are for groups and individuals who wish to develop skills with the latest generation of low, low-medium budget and most commonly used cameras.
In addition, Spectacle welcomes requests from any venues which would like to host training sessions for which we will offer a no-fee arrangement involving 2 or 3 free workshop places to nominated people. Hosts could then effectively train staff and simultaneously develop their outreach and media capacity.
New Courses:
Workshop on Workshops (WoW). 27th and 28th September 2008.
Live Action Multi-Camera Shoot. 11th and 12th October 2008
