UWICFP

The UWI Community Film Project is a unique film making and video production initiative geared at enhancing skills among young people.

Over the past 3 months, these UWICFP students have learnt filmmaking techniques and will showcase their talent. All four student groups have had successful shoots and are now working to complete their final films. Now we wait to see the finished product! #OnSet #UWICFP #MSS

For this seaside set, the students went to Rae Town. They captured footage for their short film about the effects of pollution on fishing in Jamaica. #OnSet #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #filmcareer #production #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

The lighting, the actor and the shadows must all be in the right place for the ideal shot. Mentor Kyle Chin guided this crew as they set out to Port Royal for the filming of “The Mangrove Warden”. #OnSet #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS

Thank you to our actresses Aisha Davis - @AishaDavismusic (right) and Kehonia Forbes (left) for bringing the script to life. “Instactivist” wouldn't be the same without the vibrant touch these actresses brought. #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #MSS

When filming on set for the first time, it’s a relief to have someone more experienced to guide you. At the UWICFP we have a dedicated team of instructors and mentors. #OnSet #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

These student filmmakers were smiling and hard at work. In today’s behind the scenes, this team took a ride out on the sea to get footage for their film "Instactivist". Can you guess where we were today? #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

The #UWICFP students are on set getting all the footage needed for an excellent film. Get ready to see more shots from behind the scenes of the films that are in the making. #OnSet #UWIcommunityfilmproject #production #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

Members of a team usually have different ideas and that’s what makes a project good. Sharing and accepting new ideas makes a creative and exciting finished product. #ClassInSession #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

Lighting shows highlights and details the camera would not pick up on its own. Never underestimate the power of good lighting. #ClassInSession #students #education #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #production #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

Whether it’s finding actors or ensuring the location is ready, production is there to make the vision a reality. #ClassInSession #students #education #filmmaking #film #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #production #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

We are grateful to have instructors like @AfroasianJam Kyle Chin who help the students create a vision for their films. This vision helps the students to know exactly how they want the film to look, sound and feel. #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #kheamproject #MSS

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

Each team member plays a unique and necessary role in a film project. These students are working together to ensure no element is missing. #ClassInSession #filmmaking #film #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #filmcareer #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

A thorough floor plan is a necessity when preparing for a shoot. These UWICFP students have learnt the vision and precision it takes to make a good floor plan. #ClassInSession #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

This is what determination and teamwork looks like. Two essential ingredients to a successful film project. #ClassInSession #students #studentsoffilm #university #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #learn #filmcareer #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

A film isn’t just about being creative, it’s also about having a workable plan to bring the project to completion. These students are being guided on how to do just that. #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #filmcareer #UWI #kheamproject #kingstonharbour #MSS #MonaSocialServices

[UWICFP @UWICFP]

Editing makes footage look coherent and complete. Editing Instructor Akeem guides the students on how to use this skill to achieve an excellent project. #ClassInSession #filmmaking #UWIcommunityfilmproject #UWICFP #UWI #kheamproject #MSS #MonaSocialServices
