THE HERO : How to choose him/her

The choice of hero in the documentary genre has direct influence on its development and overall

success. Tomer and Barak will talk about the key elements in choosing the protagonist of a story. This will be illustrated with scenes from a selection of Heymann films.

CONFIDENCE/TRUST, The Director – Main Characters relationship as the film's foundation

The documentary deals with real people and real stories. Therefore, the director must keep in mind certain moral aspects at the time of filming, and perhaps more importantly, what you will expose about them to the public. In addition, the director has to earn the trust of the characters, to enable intimate moments to unfold and thereby get more dramatic footage.

This will be illustrated with scenes from a selection of Heymann films.

THE HEYMANN SECRET : DIRECTING WITHOUT SCRIPT

Barak and Tomer Heymann believe that documentary is the product of improvisation and the spontaneity of the moment. Filming without a script encourages the characters to be natural, to the benefit of the overall scene. Tomer and Barak: When starting a project, you never know how it will end - follow your instinct.
