We will send you a script package with a template of how to write a short film and detailing what sets, costumes and props we have available. As a group you will write the script and send it to us in preparation. On the day we will have a break down of where, when and how we are going to film each scene. Future Te Aroha will provide a professional tutor along with the camera, lighting and sound gear. We encourage anyone who is keen to learn how to use a camera, or a budding director to let us know so we can make them a part of the process. Our professional editor will edit the short film together and send it to you on a DVD as well as a mini DV tape (usable in most home video cameras).
