Productions
Want to make short films but don't know how to start?
Every year, FilmSoc runs a number of workshops which introduce you to the basics of filmmaking and prepare you for the rigours of production. To top it all off, we also produce two short films (written by you!) to be screened in our theatre and submitted to festivals!
For more details on our workshops and production schedule, follow our social media (Instagram, Facebook) and join our monthly newsletter!

Pre-Production
(Story Development)
October 7th to November 4th
We'll work with you to get your creative juices flowing in this stage. If you have a story already, we'll work to refine it in different aspects- plot, character arc, dialogue
Just bring yourself and maybe a computer/notebook/pen/whatever feels right
Production
November 18th to November 25th
Lights! Camera! Action! You can now bring your story to life here. We'll prepare you for the rigours of production and teach you everything you need to know to create the best work.
And maybe we'll even shoot a lil' somethin' somethin', so come by for a magical afternoon.
Post Production
November 30th to December 5th
With all your raw footage, you're now going to want to piece it together into a coherent story.
In this stage, we'll teach you different editing techniques that you can use to do so. You'll also get to learn about a few software platforms out there.
