	Storytelling with the camera
	24 & 25 June 2010 at ARTE in Strasbourg In the context of this two-day workshop from Eyes & Ears of Europe and ARTE in Strasbourg, the camera will be analysed as a stylistic device within the use of design, promotion and marketing of audiovisual media. Therefore, basic film principles and narration patterns regarding the camera will be explained: They can be used to detect ideas and to develop concepts of station idents, labels, openers, trailers or any other kind of short forms. The focus is on the following questions: How can the camera, as a creative device, support the processes of generating ideas and conceptions? How are image areas, camera movement and effects used to emphasize the expression of content? How can emotions be evoked or even intensified through storytelling with the camera? These reflections are intended to enable participants to see the camera as more than just a technical tool: the paradigm "camera" can rather be regarded as an option for the detection of ideas and concepts for design, promotion and marketing of audiovisual media.
