What do we do?
We offer youth based workshops in the art of making
short films. During sessions we will teach the basics of short
film making using DV cameras. Whether your group wants to be
in front or behind the camera we aim to ensure all participants
are involved with the project and know they are an integral part
of the process. We encourage individuals to take on professional
roles and work as a team to complete a 5-10 minute production
of their choosing. Whether they choose to make a drama, documentary,
comedy, music video or a magazine type program, we work together
as a team to brainstorm potential ideas. We also work with schools
to work on issue based projects, which can provide useful resource
material. |

Participants will get the chance to learn about whatever
aspect they are interested in, ie - Directing, Acting, Make-up
and Wardrobe, Camera, Sound. We try to rotate positions if more
than one person is keen on the same area. This is a very "hands
on" course, but their will be an aspect of brainstorming
to plan the project, although we do some filming in every session
to keep active minds interested.
Recommended commitments from your
organisation
1) We ask that we have a dedicated helper to assist with the
sessions so that if any behavioral problems arise, any issues
may be dealt with out with the group core so as not to interrupt
the rest of the group. It is important that the same helper can
see the project through for continuity of the group.
2) Organisation will obtain clearances from guardians/parents,
for children to participate in project, giving clearance for
child’s recorded image to be shown publicly and if appropriate
authorisation for the film to be submitted to film festivals.
Forms are available from Film Focus.
3) A separate space may be available for the group which will
have minimum distractions and noise from other youths.
4) Where possible – a TV be supplied to the group for
the session duration.
Contact
us if you would like to arrange a
meeting to see our showreel and find out how we can work with
your group.
Editing
Although we do show basic editing in the fist week,
the bulk of editing is done by Film Focus out with group time.
For those wanting to learn about editing, this can be arranged
additionally on a two to one basis. We teach basic editing using
Final Cut Pro, which is professional editing software. Please
contact us about editing training if you would like information
about these tutorial sessions. |
