If you're age 12 - 16 (ish) and still looking for something to do this half-term, City Eye's Level 2 Film School still has a few places ready to be booked! 

How do you want to respond to the theme 2020?  What does the year or the number mean for you?  You can approach it as a comedy, thriller, sci-fi or documentary - or take an experimental approach.

Whether you like to be behind or in front of the camera, if you're a budding writer or actor, there is a part for you to play in bringing your story idea to the screen.  So come along with ideas, props, costume or just yourself and let’s get to grips with 2020!​

Everything will take place at City Eye on Tuesday 18 February, 10 am until 4.30pm.
You will find all the information you need and a booking link  on the 'Upcoming film School' page.

​Film School gives children and young people the opportunity to use professional filmmaking equipment and develop a range of technical and creative film production skills including camera and editing.  At the same time it's a great way to make new friends, build confidence and have school holiday fun!

On-set with Gone to Ground: Week Two, Taking Shape.

9/9/2019

 
​Readers of our last news item will remember that Rachel Stephens recently left City Eye to work on Phil Peel's feature film ‘Gone to Ground’.  Rachel has been updating us with news from behind the scenes.  We are a little late sharing this report from week 2 -so stand by for week 3, coming soon!

​In Rachel's Words...

We began the second week with two days of late shoots filming outside of a farmhouse in Wiltshire into the early hours of the morning. I think the most challenging aspect of the night shoots was the wind, rain and cold. Despite the weather though we captured some great looking shots for a critical moment in the film. 

During the week all of the crew helped to set-up another key moment of the film, involving a car accident, which took a lot of teamwork to pull off but it looks amazing and we are all really looking forward to shooting with the wrecked car in our third week.
 
This second week of production also saw the arrival of actor Alan Breck taking on the role of Guy. Having Alan here has meant we’ve been able to film scenes between two of the main characters and it has been great to watch Alan and co-star Melissa De Mol work the scenes together.
​
Although there is still over a week left and more script to cover, it really feels like the film is starting to take its shape and I can see a glimpse of what Gone To Ground is going to be when production is complete.
