A new venue

With the weekend out of our systems and Monday, rolling in the bafta film project was upon us again. With a very productive session last week behind us, anticipation was high and the group was eager to crack on with their film.  With a few absentness due to various commitment there was a small group, which allowed for extreme focus during the session and a lot was achieved we also had a few new members joining our circle which really helps with creative ideas!

The session began with a very vital issue concerning the group. With it widely decided that three hours on a Monday is not long enough to fulfil the needs of the group a new venue has been found in Southwark, which will allow the group to have much longer sessions on a Monday and therefore make much more progress with their film. When this idea was put towards the group the reaction was of a unanimous one with everyone agreeing this move was a positive step and could only help the project move forward. With that out of the way and minds eased, the session really got into full swing. With character profiles sorted, we began by assigning actors to play the roles of the characters due to the many budding actors within the group this was not a problem. We then moved on to handing out vital crew roles, of course there did a lot of debate on the role of director with various people want to take the helm of this hugely anticipated film! Finally, Bafta film mentor Baz talked the group through various filming rules and procedures to aid the cast and crew when the shooting begins which culminated in a short piece being shot than played back to the group. This gave the group hands on time with the camera and its capabilities, which generated excitement in the group. Everybody is buzzing for next weeks instalment where there will be a change of scenery for the group and the filming will finally begin! See you next week.
