This half term, Shootme.com presents:

 

FILM ACADEMY

 

Danger of boredom at half-term? Fancy yourself as the next Tarantino or Hitchcock? Why not spend two days learning the tricks of the film and TV trade?

 

Working in a group - with state-of-the-art kit under the guidance of award-winning TV professionals - you will make your own film, worthy of Hollywood itself, showcasing your talents, ideas and creative skills you didn't even know you had. 

 

Suitable for young people aged 11 - 17.

 

You will learn how to:

•  ->  Develop and write scripts
•  ->  Present to camera
•  ->  Film broadcast quality material 
•  ->  Direct a professional film crew
•  ->  Understand light and sound
•  ->  Work in a production team
•  ->  Edit like a pro
•  ->  Add music and titles

 

After completing the workshop, you will have the skills to be able to make films about anything you like.

 

Here’s how it works:

Introduction - Get to know the trainers and the rest of the group

Brainstorm - How to turn your talents and ideas into film

Presenting to camera - Simple tips to build confidence and make you look and sound great

Green Screen - Set your film against the backdrop of any location you can think of

Directing - Filming cutaways, actuality sequences, close-ups etc.  Each team gets a turn to direct a professional camera crew!

Editing - Putting it all together using Adobe Premiere Pro, the software the BBC use

Add music and motion graphics - from our own copyright-free library

Add titles, astons (captions) and credits

•  ->  Group size of up to 20 students
•  ->  New Apple iMac computers to work on
•  ->  Kodak Zi8 HD camera kits (one between two)
•  ->  Panasonic AF-101 crew (latest high end HD broadcast camera)
•  ->  Two CRB-checked trainers

 

What you need:

Please bring an object that you would say defines you in some way. This can be an instrument, a book, a photo - anything which can provide inspiration for our film brainstorming. 

 

Day One - Developing, Presenting and Filming

Day Two - Editing, and your Film Premier with Award Ceremony (parents welcome to join!)

 

Not only do you have the chance to walk away with a prestigious film award, but you can also get a DVD of all the films made on the day. 

 

We hope to see you there! Who knows, this could be the first step on your road to stardom...
