Summer Screen School is an exciting and dynamic filmmaking programme designed to encourage young people to participate in filmmaking activities.  The programme invites young people to spend a week at fps media’s studios in Motherwell learning the various aspects of video production including scriptwriting, storyboarding, camera operation, sound recording, lightning, directing, special effects, editing and drama.

During the week long programme participants have the opportunity to write, direct and film their own short movie.  Summer Screen School also lets you get your hands on the latest in digital equipment including Sony high definition cameras, stereo sound kits and the latest in digital editing software.

Last years programme introduced on location filming at Low Parks Museum, The Mausoleum and M&Ds Theme Park.  This year we plan to expand on this and film at other places of local interest. Each Screen School runs for 1 week from Monday through to Friday from 9.30am to 3pm.  This year there are 4 Screen Schools running over the summer break. Dates are as follows:

Week 1 Monday 7th July to Friday 11th July
Week 2 Monday 21st July to Friday 25th July
Week 3 Monday 28th July to Friday 1st August
Week 4 Monday 4th August to Friday 8th August

After the programme is finished participants are invited to attend a high profile premiere at The Vue Cinema, Hamilton.  The young filmmakers have the opportunity to view the fruits of their labour on the big screen together with their friends and families.  This is followed by a presentation of certificates and commemorative DVDs. 

Summer Screen School is funded by South Lanarkshire Council and open to young people between the ages of 13 to 18 years who attend school in South Lanarkshire.  The course is completely free, however participants are expected to make their own travel arrangements and provide their own lunch.
