WORLDbytes crew meeting and footage review: Thursday 5th August, 7.30pm
WORLDbytes, the first school of Citizen TV, with its revamped website, is ready to hit the world with more and better programmes and invites all volunteers to this meeting to discuss ideas for future news programmes, reports and spoofs. We will also be reviewing footage filmed over the last few months. What should our Citizen TV channel cover in the latter part of 2010? How should we report on the new coalition government? What’s the latest on civil liberties? What about jobs and money in our pockets rather than cuts and austerity? What should we make of the media coverage of the World Cup in South Africa? What silly ideas need a send up? Join WORLDbytes volunteers to pick, plan and produce future programmes. Whether you have great ideas or are just up for joining a crew and doing what’s necessary to create the best reports don’t miss this meeting. If you can make it please email us.
Train & Shoot: Tuesday 31st August, Wednesday 1st & Thursday 2nd September 2010
WORLDbytes next free film training course with spaces available takes place on Tuesday 31st August, Wednesday 1st & Thursday 2nd September . Successful applicants will learn to film and shoot for future news reports and programmes. The training involves long days learning camera, lighting, sound, production and hands on shooting. No previous skills are required but a keen interest in social issues and challenging ideas are a must. Our ‘citizen TV’ programmes prioritise content over style. If you want to challenge the status quo this is the place for you, if you are only interested in free media skills training it’s not. Priority places for this free training will be given to volunteers who are already active, so don’t wait around-get stuck in and we look forward to seeing you at a volunteer introductory evening.
To take part in this opportunity you need to complete the online application form, just hit the free film training button and its there. The deadline for applications is Monday 23rd August, but don’t wait around as the course is filling up fast. If your application is accepted, you will also need to attend a group interview on Wednesday 25th August at 7:30pm at the WORLDwrite centre in Hackney, East London. Details will be sent to you as soon as your application is accepted.
