Final Goodbye – Make a Short Film Course Film

Last month we ran a Make a Short Film Course for adults over two weekends at the Filmhouse, as part of their Easter education courses.

Many of the people on the course had never touched a camera before let alone made a film, so over the course of the four days our tutors, Christopher Cook and Amanda Thompson took them through the process of generating ideas, screenwriting, technical filmmaking; camera, sound, lighting, directing and acting.

This is the finished films made by the participants. Well done to all involved.
