MembershipAt the last count we had 28 male and 21 female members
with a wide age range. Not all own a camcorder. We range from complete beginners to dedicated amateurs to
professionals. Whatever your level you will be welcome and are sure to fit in. A
typical starting point for membership is the desire to make something of holiday
movies or video captured on a mobile phone. See some members
articles.
There are many opportunities to participate in all aspects of
filmmaking, from the development of the initial concept to script writing, through
acting to the shooting, editing and production of DVDs. Members frequently start with absolutely no
experience but quickly find their niche. Some members work individually while
others enjoy working in teams.
Workshops
and training are ongoing and have included
directing, lighting, voice development, getting to know your camcorder, video editing,
script writing, being a film critic.
Members of this video club engage in charity and
community filmmaking
projects as well as making family movies and entering
competitions. Indeed, we are forever making new
movies with something for everyone regardless of age or experience. The club is a member of the IAC.
Situated in the South East of England
on the borders of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, this video club is keen to make new movies from movie scripts
written by members. Members have completed 128 films between Jan 2005 and
January 2008 including two club projects 'Judgement
Day' and 'Keep On Keeping
Mobile'. Around half the films have been made by individuals with the rest by small groups.
We meet close
to Farnham just West of Guildford and Woking, South of Farnborough and
Aldershot. We have members travelling from as far away as
Winchester, Basingstoke and Datchet. Not all members have a digital camcorder or other equipment.
We are video/film makers interested in socialising,
as well as entering film making competitions. There is a great deal of sharing
of experiences and we always hope to improve all aspects of our video making skills including script writing
for our movie scripts,
acting for films, directing film making, lighting for video, sound for
video, camera work and editing. We now have a number of collaborations with local amateur dramatic groups.
Come along and see how we
operate (first Friday of the
month)
