CAP-New Media Foundation
Offering training & hands-on experience in music & film production, software development, electronic game creation and Internet radio. The first programme we will set up is the Filmmaking Academy
CAP-Film Making Academy
Introduction
The Community Action Programme’s Film Making Academy is a programme that allows people with an interest in film production to express their creativity. Members will meet to learn about the structure of a production team and to give them a chance to experience working within that role.
Throughout the year the academy will produce short films. This will give the members hands-on experience of working within different production roles and to see their finished works.
Our approach is to get liked minded people together to write, direct, produce, shoot and act in small productions. These productions will then be edited and submitted to some of the local film festivals.
Objectives
Our objective is to divert and prevent people from engaging in criminal activities by providing a positive activity for young people that will give them a chance to experience life in a film production environment that can take them from an interest in filmmaking to a possible career.
