Broadway Cinema Nottingham

Can you comment below on who will be coming on the trip to Nottingham on Thursday please.

I was planning on meeting at the broadmarsh bus station near to the underpass towards the broadmarsh shopping centre at about 10.30am?

Will this be OK?

The film is 140 minutes long.  The screening is at 3pm. I think it will finish about 5.45 - 6pm

Fiction Project


Information for Monday 15th April 2013.

Assessment Task 5: Inspire Film Festival

1: Pitch your proposal - Ideally I would like this conducting this week - Monday or Tuesday AM. If not it needs to be conducted the following week - 23rd April. It can be either a PowerPoint presentation, a discussion with visual imagery or a video pitch (Kick-starter style). Additionally, for your word press sites, you will need a paper based proposal/treatment (available on this blog) that is completed in full.

2: Pre-Production/production/post-production - Please make sure that you are submitting the required evidence. You cannot just submit the video. The brief (on moodle) specifically lists the evidence toy need to submit. Make sure that you can provide some evidence for each of the italicised sub headings. If you do not, you will not have sufficient evidence to meet the grading criteria of the unit, as some of you have already encountered with the editing unit during semester 1. Listed below is the evidence required:

Be able to devise and pre-produce moving image fiction productions

Devise: subject idea; format; genre; style; audience; intended aim; budget, eg research costs, crew costs, travel, accommodation, subsistence, contingency

Pre-production: roles and responsibilities; proposals; script; shooting script; production schedule; production meeting minutes; call sheets; locations; recce report; risk assessments; health and safety

Logistics: time management; feasibility, deadlines; booking actors; acquiring properties; crewing; studio use; designing sets; building sets

Legal and ethical considerations: clearances and permissions; privacy; consent; release forms; filming in public

Be able to manage production and post-production for moving image fiction productions
Production: shots and sequences, eg one shot, two shot; camera movement; white balance; monitoring levels; environment, eg studio, location, public spaces; sound, eg additional dialogue recording, sound effects, music; sound levels; mixing

Production management: monitoring progress; identifying and solving problems; production organisation; logistics management; communication; coordination, eg crew, director, producer, scriptwriter, editor, sound designer

Post-production: log appropriate media; prepare edit decision list; sound design, eg sound effects, music, Foley; editing the image (to create narrative, to convey meaning, to illustrate subject, synthesis of image and audio

Furthermore, It looks as though the Inspire Film Festival is not running this year - Typical.

Therefore , I'm looking at entering the work into the Short Cinema Competition, which is held in Leicester. I'll post more information when I have it.
