Summer School

We started Summer School 7 years ago, a week long fun-filled programme of film-making from a screen acting and film crew angle, and it has been an exciting addition to our year. We would love to be able to extend to further weeks in holiday time and is something we are actively perusing at the moment.

Strating from the script conception and storyboarding, to choice of location and pre-production skills, we try to give the children who attend our Summer Film School, a taste of what it is like on a real film set and have produced some exceptional results.

What we Do

The children joining us in Film Week are given many opportunities to try out each role involved in making a film from the crew point of view, some of these functions are:-

· Location Management

Production Runner

· Production Design

· Directing

· Working with actors

· Set etiquette

· Cinematography

· Lighting

· Sound recording

They are also introduced to acting for screen and given many opportunities to learn the skills needed in front of the camera including:-

Understand differences between stage and screen acting methods

Gain confidence in front of camera
