Getting Involved Spiels

Stewarding involves selling and checking tickets. As a steward, you will be expected to watch the film while being aware of the audience and of people entering and leaving the theatre. You will also be expected to help clear the theatre of litter before and after the film. Stewarding can lead to duty management, which involves running shows from the Front of House perspective.

Projection is a popular area of the society, and there are limited training slots available. The waiting list is currently very short, so if you could send me your name, uni number, course and email address, I can add you and will contact you as soon as a slot becomes avalable. After an initial training session, the bulk of projection training takes place in-show - you will be running shows with a qualified projectionist there to make sure everything runs smoothly. There are a further two additional out-of-show training sessions to deal with issues you might not have had a chance to experience.

There are lots of different ways you can get involved with publicity. Firstly, towards the end of term we need people to write reviews for next term's films. These are normally between 350 and 400 words long and will get put on the website and, when we produce them, in the booklets too. We would also appreciate help on publicity runs around departments and accommodation during weekends. These will normally be organised at the start of term or in the run up to big events like the Allnighter or Warwick's Favourite Film. In the coming weeks I'm also planning to introduce ways for people to get involved in finding images online for the posters and booklets. Finally, if you are interested in being involved in the design of the booklets, then there will be an opportunity to learn how to use quark and photoshop to lay out our publicity. If you are interested in any of these four areas then please email me back and I'll send you more details about what you need to do and how to get your free films.

The IT Team is by far the biggest and most active part of the society, so we don't really need any help... [To be replaced with a real paragraph]
