Dive into the World of Poetry Film
How to Make a Poetry Film A handbook for poets by Helen Dewbery is a step-by-step guide to creating a poetry film. Each chapter covers different aspects of poetry film and is designed to build skills and confidence. As you progress through the book, youʼll learn:
-
Where to find the tools to make films at low cost.
-
How to put everything together.
-
How to make your films stand out.
By engaging with the activities, you will have planned and made at least one poetry film and gained the skills to make many more.
The Poetry Film Journal is like a notebook. It's a place to record your thoughts and ideas, and track your progress and edits, with space to diarise the making of six poetry films.
