Prince William gets behind camera on London Screen Academy visit
The Prince of Wales is the reporter who rolls along the track behind the movie camera, gradually shrinking by an inch.
This is not a journalist’s fever dream, but a movie scene on the roof of London Screen Academy in north London, where Prince William was tested with the test of the Sixth Academy, dedicated to teaching film and television skills.
He also checked the clothing department, where he saw steampunk clothing with lots of holes, hooks and tartans.
“I might wear it on Saturday night,” he said to the students who showed him.
Prince William is president of BAFTA, the British film and television agency, and talked about the importance of expanding the door to the infamous knowledge industry.
The London Screen Academy, which has 900 students, offers these doors for free, offers practical skills in film and television, and learning English and math A-levels.
While there may be a successful television and film industry in the UK, Tim Bevan, the school’s co-founder and film producer, told the prince that he told the prince that the chances of getting a job are still high.
Bevan, co-chair of the Job Title Films, has seen students move from school to some of his recent movies, including the upcoming Bridget Jones: About the Boys and Blitz .
The industry, he said, “does well, but “none of them has enough cross-sections.”
“We want to provide opportunities for people from different backgrounds, not a lot of privilege,” he said.
Prince William has been praised by students for his camera skills – “very smooth, very well done” and the energy and opportunities the academy provides impressed.
He said he hoped it encourages young people from families who might see the film and television industry as an “elite environment.”
Prince William said: “It feels like a lot of people don’t know they can enter the movie world.” For many people, this is “stay away from reality.”
The prince showed the prince to the makeup department, temporarily looking at a room filled with wigs, bright lights and all kinds of unusual makeup.
He reached out his hand to try out the prosthetic, the genre used in zombie movies, and said the post-apocalypse TV series The Last Doomsday is already “full.”
It was a relaxed and lively visit with no bonds to see, and the prince took part in the final scene in a mini movie based on London idea of forbidden music.
A fictional poster said: “Silence means safety.”
In Kendra Nwogu, 18, from Essex, they never thought they would acquire such skills, thinking that working in a movie was not a “realistic job”, and The “magic portal” must be involved.
She found information about London Screen Academy through a Google search, and now she is part of a course that will have practical connections to the film industry.
“I can learn from movies. I can learn about cameras. I can learn about sounds. I can learn about lighting. Anyone can do it.”
It’s about bridging the gap to make things possible.
It was a rare opportunity for Prince William to be behind the camera after his unwelcome gaze for life.
“Action.” A student shouted as his camera moved, clapping the board broke. The purpose of such a place is to realize action in real life and on the screen.
