Cinema is in all of us.\u00a0 We are cinema natives.
\nWe know when something works on screen or doesn’t.
\n<\/strong>
\nMost people have access to mobile devices which feature very fine cameras and apps that can be used for editing and then sharing films. This democratisation of technology has offered a very positive response to the current Pandemic and our lack of social interaction. One of the core human needs is to be heard. Film allows people to make their voices heard, to share their take on the world around them and to testify to their being and creativity. At a time when we are so socially distanced from each other this technology will allow us to build bridges with others in our community and beyond.<\/p>\n

People will watch films by other people, they will engage with someone else\u2019s creative output in very personal ways. Film is a culturally significant medium, and to make films is to feed into that medium and have value added to our voice by contributing to it.<\/p>\n

The Takeaway Creative filmmaking sessions<\/strong> will allow the participants to have their voice heard, to testify to their existence and their reality that will make connections with people both at home and further away.<\/p>\n

Everyone is native in film, we\u2019ve all seen thousands of hours of moving image texts, this project will allow the participant to take that knowledge and put it into action by making their own films.<\/p>\n

The skills explored will cover Film Fundamentals<\/em> such as how the camera, sound and editing work.
\nIt will also look at elements of style \u2013 how to make your films stand out in ways that the great filmmakers have done so before.<\/p>\n

Using any technology to hand the participants will spend time looking at the fundamental elements of film:<\/p>\n
