<div style="margin: 0px;"><b>CALLING ALL BUDDING FILMMAKERS!</b></div>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<div style="margin: 0px;">These summer holidays, don't just watch
films... learn how to make them! If you love film and TV and can see
yourself behind the camera or in the director's chair, then you need
OPEN CHANNEL's three-day, hands-on course for young people who want to
make movies.</div>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Guided by an experienced tutor Elise West,
you get to shoot, act, direct and edit a short video. You'll learn
about lighting, camera, sound and editing. You'll work in small groups,
shoot with professional gear, edit on Final Cut Pro and learn the
skills you'll need to make your own films. It's also a great way to
meet other young people who are passionate about filmmaking. All
participants receive a DVD of the film with their name in the credits.
So get ready to shout 'Action'!</div>
<p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
<div style="margin: 0px;">We are running two sessions during the summer holidays: Jan 15 - 17 & Jan 22 - 24. </div>
