The Week’s Schedule

Students make films at our summer Film School! A manic but fun, full-on week of filmmaking, with a deadline of just 5 days from first concept to screening, Using all the skills you have learned throughout the year. Can you do it!? Can you make the deadline!? Then, on Friday, sit back and enjoy your achievement at the premier!

MONDAY:

It’s script day. You’ll work on devising a story idea in the morning and then flesh it out in the afternoon. The script will then be written and formatted in the evening by Gudni and Graham.

TUESDAY:

Script in hand it’s time to get stuck into the pre-production and casting, choosing locations and getting to grips with the kit.

WEDNESDAY:

An all day film shoot. You have just 5 hours to get the majority filmed.

THURSDAY:

The second all day shoot. You must wrap the film before 4pm.

FRIDAY:

A later lunch today. In the morning we’re going to give you a set scene to recreate, but you have to film it as a Flash Film (no editing, shot in sequence in camera). You’ll have just three and a half hours to cast, rehearse and film it. In the afternoon it’s movie quiz time while the edit is being finalised in time for the showcase. We hope by this week your parents will be able to attend the showcase.

Where

In the Cre:8 building of Edinburgh College’s Milton Road campus. (Please do not contact the college about The Film Academy).
