WORKSHOP 3: Editing Principles

Ready to edit your film? This workshop will help you master digital editing.
Learn how to organise your footage, create great edits, mix audio, add titles and soundtracks, and get your film ready to share. It’s perfect for those who are already working on a film project, or their LOCALS film, and want to polish their editing skills and receive some feedback.
You will then have an opportunity to submit your film to screen at the Castlemaine Documentary Festival — or to any film festival you like, for that matter!

About Club CDoc
Club C-Doc evolved alongside the Castlemaine Documentary Festival to provide year-round activities and programs that support a shared space between communities and filmmakers.
Delivering filmmaking workshops, pop-up screenings, guest presentations and social events, Club C-Doc engages audiences and the creative sector alike. Working in concert, the Festival and Club C-Doc celebrate diversity and profile the issues of our time – from the local to the global, past and present, and also bring our community together.
Born from the necessity of lockdown restrictions in 2021, Club CDoc quickly found a vital role in delivering films and discussion panels that can’t wait until the annual festival – nurturing the vibrant local film culture and keeping the conversations current. Often our programs serve as ongoing catalysts for community action, public education and highlight issues around advocacy with the intention of making a positive contribution and difference.
We also actively support local and regional creative media practitioners by providing our LOCALS Opening Night of the Festival. Experienced and first-time filmmakers are encouraged to enter LOCALS and are engaged and supported through workshops and networking opportunities during the year. LOCALS has proved extremely popular for both audiences and makers. Similarly, the annual media industry lunch, held at a Castlemaine restaurant, is becoming another well-attended fixture of the Festival.
Club CDoc events happen in partnership with the Theatre Royal, as well as other local venues including the Northern Arts Hotel and Shed Shaker. We listen to our film viewing and filmmaking community and our activities are initiated and developed in response to surveys and feedback.
Club CDoc is unique because the creative sector it serves is truly local. This connection builds audience awareness, drives innovation, inspires creators, and guides and shapes ideas and subjects. These activities and programs around filmmaking and screen culture then feed directly into the winter Castlemaine Documentary Festival. Strategically, Club CDoc reflects CDoc Ltd’s awareness of the pragmatic ways in which festivals need to adapt and innovate, while maintaining core values of in-person contact and the intimacy of shared experience and place.
