Vertical Filmmaking and the 2-Act Structure

Sunday 11 February

3pm AEST

Throughout the workshop audiences learn about the alteration to the 3-act structure within TikTok. The traditional set-up is reinvigorated to suit the platform's short-form storytelling and need to grab audiences' attention in a matter of milliseconds. The workshop focuses specifically on the craft of story structures and storytelling for this fast-paced environment.
