Screen-Skills: The BBC Blast and BAFTA TV Craft Bursary.
Whats all this then?
Simple really, we've partnered up with BAFTA to give you the opportunity to learn the skills needed to make TV happen. So if you want a chance to win £3000 to make a TV programme and have it shown on BBC2 then you're in the right place. You could be teamed up with industry professionals and get help from BAFTA mentors to give you all the advice you need. What's more, you also get the chance to walk the red carpet at the British Academy Television Craft Awards.
If you're aged 16-19 and have a passion for TV, this is your chance! Submit your short programmes (less than five minutes in length) by 30th September 2009 focusing in particular on editing, scriptwriting, composing music, or DoP (see below)...
The categories for the bursary are:
Director of Photography (DP or DoP)
The Director of Photography collaborates with the Director and Production Designer to create the visual style of the programme. Through the use of light, composition, selection of backgrounds and choreography of the camera, the Director of Photography creates the look of what's seen on screen.
Composer
Composers write music that is appropriate for each programme, and is consistent with the Director's vision. Ideally working in creative collaboration with Directors, Composers write scores that guide the audience through the drama, increase programmes' emotional impact, and give them atmosphere. The integration of music with images is at the heart of this role, which includes the opening and closing credits.
Scriptwriter
The Scriptwriter (aka Writer / Screenwriter) is responsible for research, developing the narrative, writing the script, and delivering it, in the required format. Scriptwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the script and, arguably, of the finished programme.
Editor
The Editor is responsible for transforming many hours of raw visual and sound elements into the finished programme. The way a story unfolds and grabs the attention of the audience is one of the most important elements in programme-making. To ensure that the story flows effortlessly from beginning to end, the Editor carefully chooses and edits each shot into a series of scenes, which are in turn assembled to create the finished programme. They are responsible for showing contributors to their best advantage, and making sure that the story telling is clear, focussed, and well paced.
Profiles compiled with the assistance of Skillset.
Entries can be any genre, including Factual, Drama, Comedy and Entertainment.
Submissions must conform to at least one of these four TV Craft genres: DoP, Composer, Scriptwriter, Editor.

The prize:
The eight winners, two in each category, will secure a bursary of £3000 to work with industry BBC or external production company over a six month period to produce a new piece of work.
