Hello hello hello, and a very warm welcome to WFSS’s brand new blog!
So, the plan here is to keep all our members updated with what’s going on in your society, from what the exec are discussing in meetings and plans for future socials and events to news about film-related goings on in the area. We also want this to be a place where you can publish your own work, be it media-related articles or film reviews and the like. If you’re interested in getting your work seen by an audience of like-minded people then send it in to us at su576@sunion.warwick.ac.uk and we’ll get it up here for you. We’d also like to hear from you if you’re involved in any film or media related projects – are you making your own film, or taking part in an internship, or creating your own Robert Pattinson shrine? Get in touch and tell us about your experiences – not only is it a great way of logging and reflecting on what you’ve done, it might even inspire other film-soc-ers to follow in your footsteps.
Hopefully the blog will evolve as we develop it – we’re hoping to get in touch with outside companies, Warwick alumni and media representatives to set up some connections with the media industry and give you some more info about what it’s really like out there in the big bad world of careers!
Feel free to leave us a comment or get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
Love and jump cuts,
Steff
