Year 2, Group Film Project Update

Hi All,

So whats new?

Recently finished the second draft of the script which was then sent off to the lead writer at Long Arm Films, James Gillingham. He replied with some amazing comments about the script that will seriously assist me in the coming drafts.

One thing that you could all help with, is we need a new name for the young female character. She needs a name that can be shortened. As it stands her name is Poppy, and her nickname is Popsie. So if anyone has any suggestions get in touch.

BLUESCREEN AT CUBE

The Cube Cinema, Bristol:

Find The Cube at : Dove Street South, Bristol BS2 8JD

Find Kings Square along Jamaica St. or Dighton St. Go to the top of Kings Square and turn left on to Dove Street. On your left you will see a car park in front of the cube cinema's main entrance. Please don't park in it - it doesn't belong to the Cube and you risk being fined or clamped. Park in the street.

Nantes - Residential Film Project

FdA Film & Media Arts Production students are planning a residential film project on location in Nantes. Here are some links you may find useful for your research.

As Nantes was European Green Capital 2013 and Bristol is European Green Capital for 2015 it may be an idea to look into this for an angle for the film

Sound Design Links

These are some videos I found interesting as part of my research into Sound Design.

Caoimhe Doyle of Ardmore Studios who has also worked on Game Of Thrones shows Newstalk's award winning science show Futureproof how to make sound effects for movies

Ben Burtt talks about creating the sounds for the lightsabers in Star Wars. As he worked on "A New Hope", Burtt probably wasn't aware that he was inventing modern sound design.

New Learning on Screen Award

Awards ceremony 2015

The BUFVC Learning on Screen Awards 2015 ceremony will be held at the BFI Southbank, London on the evening of Thursday 23 April 2015.

This year, the College HE award will be presented at the Association of Colleges annual College HE conference on 4 March 2015 in central London.

The awards ceremony showcases all nominated entries and announces the winners, and is followed by a networking drinks reception.

“I would recommend that anyone who cares about learning and film apply for a Learning on Screen award.  Even if you just get shortlisted it’ll be a treat just to attend the awards evening – you’ll meet some wonderful people and learn about some interesting projects.” – Lucy Worsley, guest speaker at the 2014 awards.
