When I made my first film it was actually film, and editing was done by splicing - cutting the film and gluing it back together. How times have changed. Editing is now done on a computer screen and so much more can be done in post-production. In 2008 I created my YouTube channel which now has around 300 videos and around a thousand views a week. My talk goes systematically through the film production process and covers a number of tips and tricks for budding film-makers, including effective, editing, lighting, sound, music and special effects. Learn how to make people disappear, how to shrink yourself to three inches tall and make inanimate objects talk. Have you heard about A and B-rolls? Ever wondered what they are? What is a cut-in shot and what are cutaways? How does green-screening work? What makes a successful film? Find out to answers to these questions and many more. The talk lasts approximately 50 minutes.

What the Worcester-Birmingham and Droitwich Canals Society Thought of Keith’s Talk
The January meeting was as different again with visiting speaker Keith Edwards taking us through so many underground places that most people possibly wouldn’t know about, and if they did, wouldn’t dare venture into. ‘Caver Keith’ as he is known, took the meeting to some spectacular places underground using superb photographs with audio back-up as well as his own input. Keith shared some of the spectacular scenes underground including stalagmites, stalactites and curtains all which were given as reasons for this not without risk, hobby.
The members and guests present were absolutely enthralled with Keith’s presentation which throughout could be heard ‘Wows’ and applause as well as in some instances, laughter. Several questions were asked at the end of the talk with Keith receiving a well-earned accolade afterwards.
