About Clubs

What on earth is a screen club?

This is a fair question. Organisations like this are rare which is what we’re looking to change!

A screen club is a place where grassroots or amateur filmmaking can thrive and communities can be built. Our clubs will function no differently than what you’d be used to - with registrations taking place twice a year and Annual General Meetings giving members the opportunity to elect or re-elect members of the Club Committee.

Schedule

Each year, members of the club will have the chance to work on two productions - one in semester one and another in semester two.

The year starts with pitching: an opportunity for any member to pitch their idea(s) for productions to the Club Committee. The committee green lights the best ideas and the members who pitched them become those productions’ producers.

Each producer then has 4 weeks of pre-production (planning, writing, casting, etc) to get their idea ready for filming. While this occurs, every other member will be asked to nominate their preferred positions they’d like to have (camera operator, writer, actor, sound recordist, editor, etc). Producers and the committee will work together to ensure every member is assigned a role they’re interested in and on a production with friends if possible. Every cast and crew member will also complete an induction workshop where they will learn how to use the equipment and about set safety.

Episodes for each show will air the week after they’re filmed. Once all filming is completed the project will be done!

If you miss out on having your idea greenlit, that’s no problem! You’ll have another opportunity in the next semester.

Annual General Meeting

Positions on the Club Committee will be up for election every June or July at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the club. Committee members can also put their names down for re-election. These meetings are where every member and their parents can have a say about the future of the club.
