“There are two kinds of directors: those
who have the public in mind when
they conceive and make their films,
and those who don’t consider the
public at all. For the former, cinema is
an art of spectacle; for the latter, it is
an individual adventure. There is
nothing intrinsically better about one
or the other; it’s simply a matter of
different approaches.”
— François Truffaut, director, Jules and Jim

Veer - Bollywood - work exp
UK Film Productions has an opportunity available for Film and Performing Arts students. Veer, a major Bollywood Production is filming in Bath on April 17, 2009 and shooting will continue until April 24, 2009. The film stars popular Bollywood heartthrob, Salman Khan in a period film set in the late 1800s. Other familiar faces include Sohail Khan and Jackie Shroff. Veer is being directed by Mr. Anil Sharma who previously directed blockbusters like Gaddar, The Hero, and Ab Watan Tumhare Hawale Sathiyon etc.
We are looking for highly motivated students that are ready to take on responsibility and are seeking valuable work experience in the film industry. Their specific role will be that of a Production Runner- foot soldier of the production team. They will be performing small but important tasks around the set and on location. Their duties may involve anything from administration to crowd control, and from public relations to making reservations.
Production Runners must be flexible and well organized, and be able to think on their feet. They should be able to relay messages quickly and accurately, whilst paying due regard to the need for silence when on set. They should have strong verbal and communication skills, be able to take orders, and to show tact and deference towards those in positions of authority. They must be punctual and enthusiastic, and understand the importance of recording expenditure accurately. They should be level-headed, and able to work calmly and effectively under pressure. They must be available from April 17th to April 24th, 2009.
The work experience students will be accommodated for food, beverages, and transportation. At the end of their work experience, the students are eligible for a recommendation letter and if the college allows, credit for this placement. We will also provide certificates of work experience for these students.

press kit
1.
Step 1
Choose a pocket folder to hold all your information. If your company brochure already happens to have a pocket, you're in luck. If not, you can purchase pocket folders of almost any color at any office supply store.
2.
Step 2
Write short, one-page bios of each company officer or upper-level manager, and print them on a laser or inkjet printer on company letterhead. Include the officer's title, history with the company, quotable statements, basic personal information, theories or ideas about your company and a picture, if possible.
3.
Step 3
Compile all recent press releases, positive press coverage and sell sheets. Print the press releases on company letterhead, and color copy or professionally photocopy recent articles for inclusion. Presentation is everything; standard copy paper doesn't make the best first impression.
4.
Step 4
Include your company newsletter. If you don't have one, work on releasing your first issue, which can be done inexpensively on a laser printer. Just include some basic clip art and photos, articles of importance to your company or industry, and upcoming company events.
5.
Step 5
Assemble all the information in a logical order. Typically, start with the bios on top, followed by your company sell sheets, newsletter, and any press releases or recent clippings near the back of the packet.
6.
Step 6
Top it all off with an informative letter that briefly explains what's inside and offers to provide any additional information needed. If there are business card slits in your pocket folder, include your card there. If not, it's appropriate to paper clip it to your letter.
7.
Step 7
Find some way to identify your press kit. If you're using your company brochure, your company name and logo will already appear on it. Otherwise, choose a pocket folder with a window in the front panel so that your company letterhead will be immediately visible.
