Build Up (2022), 77 pp.
"This guide provides advice, exercises and notes for local peacebuilders who wish to facilitate a participatory video (PV) process in order to enhance the resilience and peacebuilding capacities of their communities. [It] provides exercises for the facilitator to guide participants through experiential learning on: How to use a camera; how to frame a shot; how to record sound; how to direct; how to conduct and record an interview; how to identify what makes a story, how to tell an audio-visual story; how to use a storyboard to plan a film; how to write a script for a fictional story; how to record and integrate feedback received from the community; how to use editing to tell a story in film; how to conduct a paper edit. Core peacebuilding objectives include: How to facilitate constructive group discussions on sensitive topics; how to view and present a story from different perspectives; how to select a topic and genre that meet the group's communication objectives; how to understand that any film they make can have both positive and negative impacts; how to identify dividers and connectors in a community; how to understand and integrate different perspectives on privilege and identity."
