MAKE FILMS! GAIN EXPERIENCE! HAVE FUN!
TASTER SESSION ON TUESDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER, 7PM - 8:30PM IN UNIVERSITY HOUSE G05
Are you a budding director? A screenwriter? A foley artist? Do you want to meet like-minded people who enjoy filmmaking? Then this society is for you!
We are UoB Filmmaking, a society which aims to provide filmmaking activities and opportunities to students from all courses. No experience needed - just bring your ideas and enthusiasm! The opportunity to try out all areas of filmmaking are available, using the university's suite of filmmaking facilities. From professional camera equipment to the dedicated editing suites, or keeping it simple by filming on a phone, we cater to every level of experience and interest.
Our weekly sessions involve putting together a short film each week, related to that week's topic. This could be trying out unique cinematography, or experimenting with sound design, or even putting together a mockumentary! These sessions aim to be fun and sociable, whilst also encouraging our members to make the best movie they can in 90 minutes.
In addition, once a semester we hold a pitching session where budding screenwriters can bring a short film script along, pitch the idea to the society, and recruit the crew members they need to bring their story to life! These short films are then made with industry-standard equipment. This is a fantastic opportunity for anybody looking to enter the film industry, and we highly encourage coming to one of these sessions!
Our year culminates with a showcase of the society's work with our partners, the Mockingbird Cinema in Digbeth. Enjoy a free membership to the Mockingbird with your society membership!
Our sessions take place on Tuesdays from 7pm - 8:30pm in University House G05. We are a warm, friendly bunch who love a social and can't wait to welcome new members. We hope to see you at one of our sessions!
