Guildford High School

2007-

8 (ONE DAY FILM SCHOOL)

“The One Day Film School has been part of our Year 8 Activities Week at Guildford High School since 2007. At the end of Summer Term, Year 8s go ‘off timetable’ and have fun learning about how films are made, including analysing fight scenes, learning how to use cameras and the key principles of screenwriting. They then make silent 10-Shot films in groups, with just an hour to film and edit, before the world premiere (and Oscars). We always book the One Day Film School because the content of the day is well-thought out, professionally presented and challenging in nature. The course leaders provided by the One Day Film School have deep experience in the film making business and consistently make the day a success.  The pupil feedback is always extremely positive and the short films they produce are high quality. The films are often shown again to the pupils when they are higher up the school, and they always recall the day with great fondness” – WILL SAUNDERS, DEPUTY HEAD
