The Workshop



Time Commitment

Each workshop requires a brief 10-15 minute call a few days before the workshop between the teacher and one our Reel Opportunities coordinators. The workshop itself will last for 60 minutes. 

To keep our programme free, we also ask that you complete a brief 10-15 minute feedback call and fill out one of our programme surveys in the week following your workshop.


Please select your TOP THREE date + 60-minute time slot combinations as options for your workshop. The more options you can provide, the better we can accommodate you.

Standard sessions are about 60 minutes long, but can be shorter if you'd like. 

If you are unable to select specific dates at this time, please let us know your approximate date and time preferences in the text field at the bottom of this page.

Note: Multiple classes can participate in a single session. However, if you wish to have workshops for separate classes, please submit a separate form for each workshop.





Based on your class' level of interest, your group may be well suited for our advanced workshop! This workshop focuses more on in-depth Q&As with our guest, features a scene break-down, and includes an advanced interactive quiz to further engage students. We recommend it for students who are more familiar with film production and the Canadian film industry.



Each workshop will provide an overview of various jobs in the film industry, and then feature a conversation with a working film & TV industry professional. If you have a particular job area or department that your students would be especially interested in, please let us know in the box below. For some ideas, here are a few of the possible specialty areas:
  • No specific focus required (extended overview only)
  • Production management
  • Sound (design/recording/mixing/editing)
  • Cinematographers and camera crew
  • Assistant directors
  • Art department (costumes/sets/props)
  • Hair and makeup departments
  • Grips/Gaffers (technicians who support the camera crew and lighting department)
  • Animators and visual effects
  • Film editors
Please note: Our ability to satisfy your request for specific roles is entirely dependent on the availability of qualified guest speakers. If your request isn’t available, we will make as appropriate a substitution as we can.











   
Is your internet connection stable enough to run a video call? 
Is the internet connection at your school/meeting place stable enough to run a video call? 
In general, is the internet connection in your community (i.e. at your students' homes) stable enough to run a video call? 
Please note: It may be prudent to plan extra time for the session in case the session skips or cuts out temporarily.


Film Screening


The REEL OPPORTUNITIES experience may be more meaningful if students get to watch a Canadian film! 

You can do this any time leading up to your screening or afterwards. 

We will provide you with an educational streaming link that will be active for seven days from the date you specify. 


Great! Once you hit submit on the next page, you will receive a link to the order form for our Lending Library. Please click through and complete that second form to make your selections.

Demographic Information

A condition of our funding from the federal government is that we ask the following demographic questions, in order to ensure we are reaching diverse audiences. Please note that these responses will not affect the content or delivery of the workshop, but are strictly for reporting in aggregate to the government.

If you don’t know exact percentages, that’s fine — rough estimates are perfectly acceptable.  

If you're strongly opposed to answering any of the demographic questions, please email contactus@reelcanada.ca, so we can submit your registration manually.
