Taking a film from a bolt of inspiration to a streamlined concept can be daunting. You’ve got an idea that you think might make a great short film, but what are the next steps? The June BFI Film Academy Lab was all about generating, developing and presenting your short film ideas. This masterclass was led by our resident script doctors, Theresa Boden and Gabriella Apicella. Theresa and Gabs chatted through the steps needed to develop your idea, including designing characters, deciding on story structure, theme and genre, and refining your tone. They explained the differences between a short film idea and a feature film idea. They also explained the process of making mood boards and pitch decks, and why they’re so useful for filmmakers to develop ideas, establish a visual language, and attract funding for projects. This event was part of the Storytelling strand of BFI Film Academy Labs 2021/22. —— For suggestions of great short films to watch, BFI Film Academy recommends checking out BFI NETWORK’s #NETWORKandChill hashtag on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/NETWORKandChill.

Join legendary film editor Walter Murch in this fascinating masterclass covering his body of work, including his new feature documentary Particle Fever, which screened at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2013 and won the Audience Award. Universally acknowledged as a master of picture editing and sound design, Murch has worked with, among others, director Francis Ford Coppola on such cinematic milestones as The Conversation, The Godfather I, II and III, and Apocalypse Now. From the point of view of someone who started working in theatrical features when computers were completely absent, to now 45 years later when they are omnipresent, Murch will explore the constants that nonetheless remain after the "bones" of celluloid and sprockets have dissolved away, and examine the salient technical, artistic, and philosophical differences between the post-production of a theatrical scripted film and a feature-length documentary. Filmed by Sheffield Hallam University students and edited by Dave Holloway.

Building a carefully thought-out production budget can keep your shooting schedule on track and head off unforeseen costs. It will also be invaluable training as you start working on bigger projects and applying for funding. Our November Lab will teach you how to effectively budget a script breakdown, consider all the essential expenditures you are likely to make to deliver your short film, and allocate your funds effectively to create a detailed and accurate production budget you can stick to. This lab is part of the Business of Film strand from the 2022/23 Lab programme.

Get to grips with the digital content that may be requested of you by festivals, streaming platforms and more. Deliverables is a catch-all term for anything that needs to be created for your film to go to market. This masterclass will cover all the major types of digital deliverables with a focus on the technical aspects of submitting to festivals and streaming platforms so your film can be enjoyed on screens big and small. DCPS, audio standards, captions and subtitles - even aspect ratios and file naming - can be a minefield to navigate, but a little prep goes a long way. We will look at how to create Electronic Press Kits (EPK), pitch decks, and all the other documentation needed for a professional production. Getting a grip on your deliverables can save you time, stress, and money throughout the production cycle and ensure the best possible future for you and your film.
