Scottish Youth Film Foundation

The Scottish Youth Film Foundation is a charity which aims to improve the life outcomes of young people in Scotland through film. We do this in three ways, our annual festival, through film education in schools, and through Outreach film projects that target young people who would not normally have an opportunity to make a film.

If you'd like to support our work use the QR code or donate button below. Scottish Youth Film Foundation is a charity which depends on grants and awards from funding bodies for its survival. Any money donated will be used to deliver outreach or education work to the young people of Scotland. Please click on the link and give what you can.

If you'd like to know more then our YouTube channel has some films from Industry Insiders and some sessions from previous festivals that show what we do.

And do follow us on Facebook and Twitter. This is how we advertise our opportunities, awards and competitions.

All the young people I've worked with, whose films have featured in the festival, really get a lot out of taking part. This year was no exception and was cheered to see how well and professionally the online presentation was this year. Well done to everyone involved in making this a highlight of the year in film education in Scotland.
Kevin Cameron, Filmmaker and Animator - 2020

This is a great film festival for young people, it does not try to be grand or exclusive. It encourages all the young people it can reach, to take part and learn something or take something positive away.
Lee Vann-Wakelin, Scene 1 Take 1 - Dumfries 2020

Why Does SYFF Matter?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Scottish Youth Film Foundation is a celebration of the creativity of young people resident in or native to Scotland. Each year, we run a ﬁlm festival with awards presented to the best animation, live action and documentary ﬁlms made in Scotland.

If you are finding it difficult to write your CV for the TV/Film production industry - here are some starting tips of what to include.

This list is designed as some pointers to get you started and is in no way exhaustive.

Before you start - it is worth considering if it more useful to have a number of CVs for different job roles. Each one must be consistent in style but make easy reading for an employer in whichever industry you are working. E.g. have one as a TV Runner and another as a web designer (although in that specific instance it would be useful to list your html skills in your TV CV).

* Call your CV filename ' YOUR NAME - YOUR JOB TITLE - YEAR ' so that employers can easily find you if they save it in a folder.

* Put your full name, no nicknames. Then your location rather than your full address (it's better for posting in social media), email and your mobile at the top (ensure your email address is appropriate and NOT sexgod69@btinternet.com or similar),

* Put your job title at the top near your name. Employers want to know what you do very quickly and will spot it straight away.

* A personal statement should be a short paragraph. 2 or 3 lines on who you are, what you do and your current skills. Genre experience is also helpful. (Learn the difference between what is a genre and what is a technical format...)

* Next do some bullet points of your key skills e.g.
* Fluent French and German language skills
* Confident shooter using [ name types of camera]
* Basic FCP / digitizing
* Live Studio & O.B experience
* Archive clearance

* Now list your credits ( a 'credit' is just something you've worked on, and nothing to do with an on-screen credit). Each one should have the same format and should detail the following in bold to be easily scanned by an employer:

List your credits like this, starting with the most recent:
Production Name | Prod. Co. for Broadcaster | Your Role

One line is sufficient to describe the programme and include the broadcaster. 2 lines description max.

* If you are relatively junior, you could briefly mention tasks that were delegated to you by a more senior person.

* Keep all your TV work together and list anything else you think could be useful in an 'other employment' section after your TV work if you feel this is supportive.

* If you have credits on adverts or promos - list the brands or bands

* Briefly list your education. Bullet points are best.

* Any relevant training should go last right at the bottom and you should list exactly which course you completed and the date. So find out the name and governing body of the course. First Aid, Health & Safety, Hostile Environment courses are as important as technical equipment training.

* You can list your references if you want to. Be sure to ask the person whose details you will be including BEFORE you do this. Also, if you provide them as a reference in an interview, be sure to tell them before the potential employer actually calls them!

* IMPORTANT: In consideration of new GDPR data protection regulations, Talent Managers across the industry are requesting that CVs should include a statement of consent permitting them to continue handling them in the traditional way. Without explicit permission they will not be able to pass on your CV without coming back to you for further consent. Add this or similar text to your footer:
GDPR Statement: This CV may be kept on file and distributed for employment purposes
* Your CV should be around 2 pages long. One page if you are a Runner and no more!

*Check your spelling and grammar. Do not write "drivers license", it is incorrect. Use these words: "driving licence".

*Do not combine your student film making experience with your professional work.

*Name your CV . Give it your name and your job title. Do not say you are a Producer or Director or Editor if you are a Runner. If you are a runner, the PM wants to see your running experience, they are not interested in your producing or directing experience.

*Always write something in the email when you send your CV in application for a job. If you can't be bothered writing to say what job you are applying for and why, they may well not bother opening the attachment!

*Be straight. Be honest. Do not big yourself up; it will not get you the job and you will be found out!

Overview

"It's a huge privilege to be one of the first participants to enrol at NFTS Scotland, which I could not have done without the support of the bursary fund provided by the Scottish Government and the BBC. Their support has helped start my journey to fulfilling my dream to be a successful documentary director and producer in Scotland." Meray Diner, course participant

Update from NFTS Scotland with regard to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic (28.5.20)
Since mid-March 2020 we have been delivering our training in the NFTS Scotland Virtual Classroom and will do so until public health and government guidelines enable us to deliver physical training again. At the time of writing, we anticipate that this will be no sooner than September 2020.

You can still apply for our advertised face-to-face courses from September 2020 onwards.

Information on many of our previously delivered face-to-face courses are still advertised on our website. You can still register your interest in these courses, but please be aware that pricing and delivery model may change as we announce new dates. You will be informed at the time these courses go live for applications again.

Thank you for your patience at this challenging time for everyone.

We are working to ensure we can continue to deliver the standard of world-class training the NFTS is famous for.

Since opening its doors in spring 2018, NFTS Scotland has been delivering the National Film and Television School's world-class training and innovation for the film and television sector in Scotland. Initially delivering from our base at BBC Scotland in Glasgow's Pacific Quay, we are also now hosting online courses and sessions in the NFTS Scotland Virtual Classroom.

With a growing portfolio of over 60 courses and online sessions, spanning creative, craft and technical skill areas in development, production and post-production, the hub is committed to supporting the development of the local industry by offering a range of bespoke courses designed to develop the creative talent and expertise of graduates and people already working in Scotland's screen sector.

From one-day courses in Data Wrangling and DIT and week-long courses in Factual Production Management, The Art of Observational Filming and The Art of Multi-Camera Directing, to ten day courses in Working in the Assistant Director's Department and Art Department: Three Key Crafts, our courses (many of which are bespoke training developed specifically for delivery the sector here) are gaining an established reputation within the industry in Scotland as well as nationally and internationally.

"NFTS has an incredible reputation. I never thought I'd get to go there because I am based in Scotland so when the opportunity came up to do the 'How Stories Work in Documentaries' course, I jumped at it...having got a commission quite quickly after I know now what I need to do to tell the stories of the people in my documentary. A lot of that groundwork came from what we learned from the NFTS.", Laura-Jane Chalmers, course participant

At NFTS Scotland, new, emerging and established practitioners can choose to spend four days learn to edit unscripted and Specialist Factual TV ( Edit Producing), a week discovering how to develop their practice in editing factual content ( Factual Editing), train to start work in the camera department (Camera Assisting, explore what it takes to work in the film and TV locations department ( Scouting for Commercials and Introduction to Locations Management) and learn how to make amazing visual effects for film and TV ( Introduction to VFX).

We also offer unique courses in Script Reading and Reporting, Introduction to the Film and TV Art Department and Set Ready courses in Costume and Make-up.

Working with NFTS Short Courses at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, the only film school in the UK to be awarded a BAFTA for its contribution to film and television, we are able to offer many of their courses closer to home for Scottish practitioners. These include: 16mm/35mm Camera Familiarisation, Developing and Pitching Drama, Directing the Documentary, Drama Production Management, Location Sound Recording and Writing the TV Pilot.

"Paul's knowledge and experience speaks for itself and his insight was fascinating. It has opened my eyes to the world of drama production management and I'm more eager than ever to navigate my career path towards this route." Scarlett Brockley, course participant

In partnership with Progressive Broadcast Hire Ltd, we are also able to offer the latest high-end industry standard camera equipment on our technical short courses such as Camera Assisting, Start Self-Shooting and Advanced Self-Shooting.

"The Art of Multi Camera Directing course gave me the confidence in both a creative and practical sense to step up from my usual role as a Vision Mixer to Directing a crew and studio. Less than 3 months after completing the course I directed a 2hr live music programme with 8 cameras, 2 stages, and numerous bands and musicians (BBC Scotland Hogmanay Live). I recommend NFTS Scotland to anyone, no matter what stage of their career they are in." Sam Pearce, course participant

We now also deliver a Diploma in Production Accounting for Film and TV, a Certificate in Producing your First Feature Film and are developing a raft of new courses for delivery in 2020 and beyond.

Entry requirements

"(This course gave me the confidence) to pursue work in the camera department. I came out of the course feeling it was all possible again... learning the specific disciplines required to assist camera will really stand me in good stead as I start my career." Andrew McLellan, course participant

Entry requirements for individual courses are specified on each course page. In general, for short courses, that are not of an introductory nature, we request a current CV to accompany your application and at least two professional credits to demonstrate your experience and commitment to pursuing your chosen path with the industry.

If you are a non-EEA/Swiss national, you must also have the appropriate visa prior to attending one of our courses. The rules vary for short courses and longer qualification courses. You can find out more about which visa you should apply for . Most of our short courses would be covered under the short-term student visa, while certificates and diplomas would require a Tier 4 visa.

If your application is successful, we can reserve a place on a course for you, subject to you submitting your immigration paperwork. We will request a copy of your visa and ID (passport) prior to your attendance on the course to confirm your immigration status. Therefore, we advise that you make early preparation for both your course and visa applications.

Bursary information

"This (Art Department: Three Key Crafts) was an absolutely brilliant course - packed with practical information. I thought the supporting book from David was a great idea as it means I have guides written out that I am able to look back on... I feel confident that I now have the know-how in the three areas covered - hand drafting, model making and camera lens projections." Caroline Kane, course participant

Our main bursary fund is supported by the Scottish Government and these bursaries are available for all of our courses. If you wish to apply for a bursary to contribute to the costs of your course, please read the bursary guidelines below carefully to confirm your eligibility. Please do not apply to a course unless you are sure you meet the bursary eligibility criteria or are able to pay for the course.
NFTS Scotland Bursary Guidelines
Once you have submitted your application, bursary applications should be submitted to scotland@nfts.co.uk. Please see the individual course details for application deadlines.

NFTS Scotland Bursary Application Form

If you are not eligible for an NFTS Scotland bursary, please read our Alternative Funding Avenues document which points you in the direction of a few other places which may be able to help.

In 2020, some of our introductory vocational courses are also supported by the Channel 2 Bursary Fund. Details of this fund and how to apply can be found on the relevant course pages.

During the period of the COVID-19 coronavirus, we are also pleased to be able to offer a Hardship Fund supported by Screen Scotland. Details of this fund and how to apply can be found our live course pages.

You're here because you're an artist, creative or business owner who is passionate about your craft and looking to develop and market your work and practice.

You want to be in community with like-minds.

You're seeking an aligned platform where you and your art, creations and work are not only celebrated but can thrive.

To be part of a community where you can be truly, and authentically, yourself.
You believe that a crucial way to foster stronger and generative spaces is through sharing your work. You know that your work is valuable and has the power to transform our communities.

Yet, you don't always feel welcome in traditional art and creative spaces.
The reason why you may not be finding yourself in the communities and rooms you belong in is because equity isn't just a statement on a website.

While most arts organizations trying to serve BIPOC audiences might mean well, their efforts often fall short because their promises aren't followed by continuous or sustainable action.

This can make you feel as though you aren't being seen or heard -almost like being invisible.

So you've decided that you want to make a career in the entertainment industries - what now? How do you find a job? Read on and check out our Here to Help page.

Most work isn't advertised anywhere so you have to go and find it, and unfortunately there really aren't any short cuts. Also there may be hundreds just like you chasing the same opportunities, so you have to find a way of making yourself stand out.

Interested in TV? Here's some tips and know-how from the BBC Academy.

Step 1 - CV

Put together a neat, clear and well-thought out CV. A lot of people find that having several different versions for different companies works well - Jude Winstanley of the Unit List has some great tips (Link to Jude Winstanley's guide on CV writing). Check out this advice from Skillset too.

Step 2 - Research

Next, put in some serious research and come up with a list of all the companies you've ever thought of working for (and some maybe you haven't!) Go to their websites and see if you can get a name for the person who hires junior staff - it's often the production manager or head of production. A quick phone call asking who is responsible for hiring runners will often work as well.

Step 3 - Cover letter

Write a covering letter which makes it clear that you've done some research into the company. You might mention some of their work that you've seen and enjoyed, and if you offer particular skills which you believe might be of interest to them, now is the time to point them out - for instance, if they specialise in current affairs and you have a journalism qualification, or they've done a lot of work abroad and you speak a couple of foreign languages.

Step 4 - Make contact

Don't send out hundreds of generic letters: use people's names if you can, and choose the CV to fit the kind of work the company is known for. Just like your CV, make sure the letters are well written (good grammar is important) and free from spelling errors - if you're not confident, get someone else to proof-read them for you.

There's been a big debate raging about whether it's better to email your CV, send it by post or even drop it in in person. It's up to you really, but we think, these days, providing an electronic copy is a must.

We believe that sharing lived experience is the cornerstone for building bridges between people from all walks of life and organising an equal and equitable society.

Our films and podcasts go on a journey alongside the people we make them with.

Some have sensitive content and are shown to a private audience - like a Parliamentary committee gathering evidence from voices of lived experience, or a team of social workers who need to walk in the shoes of people they work with.

Other films and podcasts we make have public audiences and are designed to raise awareness and increase activism.

To see the bigger picture of some of these journeys, please visit our Archive page.
