So thats that, production week over, short films all made and ready to go, so what now?
Well, myself and my team will now become heavily involved with the distribution of our short films, by means of posters, trailers etc which we will then post up on social media, youtube etc. The idea will be then to be in friendly competition between the documentary and fiction teams to see who can generate the most views on their videos! Result will be we will all have a comprehensible and near professional experience working on all aspects of film making, from pre to post to distribution production. The final presentation of our films will take place on the 6th December at the Forum in Norwich to a live audience where the course will finish. Very sad but go out on a high!
Following this though, perhaps even more exciting. Since we have been accepted onto the Film Course, we now each qualify to take part in a two week, intensive film course with the BFI in London again working with industry professionals and other young film makers as we work to create another short film, whilst still receiving far more in depth use of industry standard equipment such as cameras, sound equipment, editing platforms etc! We get to choose two areas of speciality, choice from Directors, Cinematographers, Editors, Sound, Writers & Producers with the most popular choices being Directors and Cinematographers! I myself would chose Editing and Sound as these are the two areas I feel most accomplished in and areas I would most like to take on in a professional environment in future.
From the successful applicants, we will be put into 11 groups of 6, each containing at least one of the choice specialists as above.
If successful, applicants could be considered the top 66 young film makers in the country!
I myself I am extremely tempted by the offer as it may open up many different routes into the industry which may prove valuable when trying to break into such a competitive industry.
