Hello, my name is AnnMarie. I am Spill Media’s newest full time recruit, and I am going to be sharing my diary of some of the projects, I’m getting to work on with Spill.
My first couple of weeks in the job and I've been involved in lots of fun projects. The first- "Soap Bocs", is part of my role of Production Assistant, and involves leading a group of volunteers in a quest to produce 3 short films from initial ideas to finished edited films- in 7 days! I know, seems impossible doesn’t it! Last week we spent 3 days brainstorming, story writing, scripting and scheduling, as well as practicing with the camera and editing equipment, and giving basic training in camera and editing techniques to those volunteers not already familiar. We had a great time, and threw around many whacky ideas for plot lines before settling on the main story theme we have running through all 3 films, which delves in to the mind of a disturbed woman. I’m not going to reveal anymore about that sorry, you’ll just have to watch the films once we’ve finished!
This week we start shooting, which will take 3 days in all. Then we have a day of editing the films together, and it will be very interesting to see how many different ideas for editing this story will emerge that day.
The other project I am working on in a freelance capacity is exciting too. It is, at present, called Swansea Telly. It is a collaboration of 5 Media Inclusion companies in the Swansea area, funded through the Wales Cooperative’s Communities 2.0 scheme.
We will provide training workshops, teaching film making to groups of people in Swansea, including unemployed people, older people and people in Social Housing.
Short films will produced by each group, every month, which will be uploaded to a new Internet channel called Swansea Telly.
This week I met my new colleague Chris Reason, an experienced and hugely talented Digital Media Artist, who will bring a lot of valued experience and creativity to the project. We have been very busy contacting organisations, attending meetings, setting up groups to train, designing a training program, and scheduling, in preparation for our first group next month- a group of unemployed young people at Swansea Community Farm!
I am looking forward to finding out what each group will come up with! All in all, I’m having a great first few weeks with Spill Media.
I very much look forward to the great variety of media projects I will be taking part in here with the rest of the Spill Media family.
I’ll keep you posted as to what we get up to….
