From June 20-24, 2022, CFAC hosted a Videographic Skills workshop. Co-led by Professor John Gibbs and Dr Adam O’Brien, the workshop welcomed colleagues from a range of UoR research divisions. In addition to technical training (in digital editing software), and the opportunity to develop videographic work in response to a series of briefs, the workshop fostered discussion and reflection about this emerging research methodology.
The workshop was inspired by the influential model introduced at Middlebury College in 2015. Videographic work has since then become firmly established in Film Studies – but the CFAC workshop was designed to bring on board University of Reading colleagues from other disciplines (Typography, Modern Languages, Theatre, English Literature, etc.) to explore the exciting possibilities of this method for their own areas of research.
We’ll look forward to sharing some of the fantastic results in coming months…
