HANDS-ON INTENSIVE 1-WEEK DIGITAL FILMMAKING STARTS 31st OCT - 4th NOV
Award- winning EWAV delivers The One-Week Digital Filmmaking Workshop is the most intensive, instructional one-week program in filmmaking that can be found at any film school. In one short week, students are instructed in the basics of writing, directing, camera and digital editing, and each student writes, directs, shoots and edits a short film project. Led by renowned Filmmaker and Theatre Director Paul Sullivan.
The pace of this one-week course is feverish, and students must be prepared to live and breathe filmmaking for the length of their stay. So are you considering a new career, like a change or just want to try something different?
The workshop is offered at the (THE NEW) HACKNEY MARSHES CENTRE, Hackney Marshes Football field, off Homerton Road, Hackney, London, E9 5PF.
OPEN TO AGES 25years and upwards.
Cost - £150
TO REGISTER - info@ewavworks.com or 0788 303 1115
Deadline 29th Oct 2011
Classes covered :-
Director’s Craft, Writing, Editing, Hands-on Camera & Lighting, Production Workshop
You Graduate With: Diploma/Certificate in Creative iMEDIA awarded by OCR, DVD Film Reel
Curriculum
The program begins with two days of intensive study in camera, writing and directing. On day three, students begin shooting their individual exercises. Day five and six are comprised of editing class, post-production and the final screening.In the one-week workshop, each student writes, produces, directs, and digitally edits his or her own film on digital video, and rotates among crew positions when his or her classmates shoot.
Equipment and Facilities
Students use digital cameras, portable Lowel lighting packages, and Final Cut Pro digital editing systems. Classrooms are equipped with a television, DVD player and video cameras for demonstration and screening of clips.Workshop Goal
The one-week workshop was designed to serve the needs of different types of students, yet through hands-on classes and exercises, all students gain an understanding of the requirements and rigors of filmmaking, as well as experience the exhilaration of seeing a completed project.For some, the One-Week course is an escape vacation – an opportunity to have fun doing something completely different. For others, it’s an opportunity to see if filmmaking is the appropriate craft for them.
All students enrolling in the One-Week Filmmaking Workshop should be aware that this is an introductory course. The limitations of a one-week course should be apparent, given that many people spend years studying film and perfecting their craft. Nonetheless, many students in the One-Week Digital Filmmaking Workshop have made excellent projects and decided to pursue movie making in the future.

NOMS Information Event - Can Social Enterprise work with the Prison and Probation Service?
The report ‘Reducing Re-offending Through Social Enterprise’ identifies that there are considerable opportunities for more social enterprises to work with prisons and probation services. However, it also identifies some barriers including the fact that few people working in prisons and probation services have a clear idea of how to make contact with social enterprises in their area.
Lola Atkins from EWAV Works would be delivering a presentation to the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) on the services we have delivered at HMP YOIs on 2nd June 2011 at Somerset House, Strand, London.

Journey so far......
2011 has been a bit nerve-wracking here at EWAV. The government cuts in every area you can think of slowly swept into our affairs which caused a lot of dismay. The fear of loss of contracts and partners was high on our lists, sadly majority did materialise. However due to the fact we was given the heads up last summer we was kind of prepared but not fully prepared.
People always say that when a company, organisation experience an event or calamity that brings it literally to its knees, normally bounce back stronger and better.To be honest, doubts did sink in. Would EWAV have to roll up her sleeves and shut the doors like so many others businesses across the country? Or would we radicalise the way we do things and try out a new strategy which may be uncomfortable at first but bring the best out of us. We chose the latter.
The new website would be coming soon showcasing the new services we deliver and hopefully this would be the making of us and propel us to higher heights :)
Success always comes out of calamity, so let the show begin.
