A workshop for audiovisual on health: a report of an experience

Abstract

This paper details the emergence of the "VideoHealth Workshop - From Idea to Argument" promoted by VideoSaúde – a Fiocruz Distributor, in which is addressed the process of making audiovisual on health, focusing on the conception moment of the production thematic proposals. As the videos about health, the Workshop brings the institutional location mark of “where is talking”. Thus, it begins with a presentation of VideoSaúde Distributor: its history from its creation in 1988, principles of action and structure; the space where the workshop emerges. In terms of an audiovisual production proposal, this has attracted a diverse range of professionals from health and communication areas. There is a search for understanding the logic of building an audiovisual document and transform an idea into a moving image production proposal. In its six full issues and in other modalities, VideoHealth Workshop has trained about 150 professionals from different Brazilian regions and social groups, mostly placed in the Unified Health System, which elected the audiovisual as a communication practice for the dissemination of information on health.
