Documentary Filmmaking

Since it has been a while since the last post, I thought I would put up a plethora of documentary related 'thingies'.

First, the second year National Diploma TV & Film and first year FDSC Digital Video and Broadcast Production students recently produced three minute 'My Notts' documentaries for the BBC. The best six have been put up on the BBC website here, here, here, here, here, and here.

They have also been put up on the Confetti YouTube channel which is here.









Our links and contact with BBC Nottingham will continue to grow and this project will hopefully keep happening and more opportunities will be created each year so start thinking of ideas!
