“Britain’s Got Talent” presenter Piers Morgan launches Dreamcatcher Media's Film and TV Camp and praised the company directors for their professionalism. Both Breda Fahey and David O Keeffe produced Piers in his Channel 4 show "Morgan and Platell" as he interviewed top politicians and stars of stage and screen. Piers also thought the camp was a great way to encourage children's creativity. Speaking at the launch, Piers said "There's a lot of raw talent out there. I see it all the time being a judge on both "Britains Got Talent" and its American counterpart but you have to harness children's creativity if it's to grow. I think Dreamcatcher Media's Film and TV summer camp, where they give children cameras and teach them to make their own films is a fantastic way of doing that. I only wish there was something like that available when I was a kid, sounds like fabulous fun as well".

FILM AND TV CAMP

 

 

WHY DO A DREAMCATCHER COURSE?


Would-be film makers can work on a trial and error basis with a camcorder and enjoy modest results. But now young people can achieve amazing results and demonstrate their film making abilities by taking professional classes locally and learning how to do it properly.

At Dreamcatcher’s Film & TV camp they can learn every facet of film or programme making - because they are the crew!

Each participant will experience being the creative staff of their movies and programmes: Camera crew, props, director, producer, writer, and the on-camera talent (actors or presenters).

Taught by experienced professionals and created by the top pros in the industry, the Holiday Film & TV Schools offer the skills and practice needed to create and produce movies documentaries or other programmes with a creative flair. 

 

DREAMCATCHER TUTORS


Dreamcatcher Media was founded by Breda Fahey and David O’Keeffe. Both have worked as TV producers with household names such as Piers Morgan, Sir David Frost, Robert Kilroy-Silk, to name but a few. Breda Fahey is a qualified teacher, a writer and longstanding TV producer. David O’Keeffe is also a highly experienced TV producer and has mentored teenagers in London mentoring projects.

All Dreamcatcher Media’s tutors have worked at the top end of their profession in the worlds of film and TV. For example, our production designer Sloane U'ren has worked on films such as Harry Potter, Batman amongst others. 

As film-makers, and TV producers/directors, their careers have depended on their highly developed film and programme making skills.

They are hugely enthusiastic about passing on the skills they’ve acquired to the film and programme makers of tomorrow.


CHILD SAFETY


The safety of children in our care is very important to us and all tutors are thoroughly vetted by Dreamcatcher Media.

 


 

MINI-CINE – THE HOTTEST NEW MEDIA ON THE PLANET!


The exciting new film genre called "MiniCine" (think: Youtube) - the movie

shorts, documentaries, animations and features we view on computer screens, started out just a few years ago and is now one of the hottest new media on the planet.

On any given day, we can view professional clips by journalists documenting and reporting news, human interest stories, and so on.

But now, in the new genre of “user generated videos”, anyone can file their own report, author their own documentary or make a film and get it up on the web for millions to see.

So get on the bandwagon and learn how to make your own features with Dreamcatcher’s Film and TV courses!




 

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!



Dreamcatcher Film and TV training programmes are for 7-16 year olds. Participants will form their own crew and cast for the production and acting of an original movie or tv programme: building skills in project development, production, pacing and a polished presentation.

We'll cover the basics of film and TV work so you have good, working skills to continue using your talents in the future whether you want to use films or documentaries as an art form or for essay/documentary forms for academic applications. Each member can take home a copy of their original creations after post production.

      Production planning

      Storyboarding

      Directing

      Acting/presenting

      Script writing
