Abstract

Mind-Set (Dir Mikey Murray, 2022) won best UK Feature Film at the Manchester International Film Festival in 2022. It was shot in the summer of 2019 be Cinematographer & senior lecturer Jack Shelbourn. His team was made up of students, recent graduates, and other University of Lincoln staff. The students and graduates embodied student as producer and partners in practice. Their roles were key to the film’s success and included key roles such as: Camera Operator, 2nd
Assistant Camera and Digital Image Technician. Without the students in these roles the film could not have been made for the budget and their practice directly contributed and impacted on the films success.
In this paper, Jack Shelbourn will explore the concept of the film set as a learning
environment. Not only within an educational setting. But also, within the Film and Television Industry as a professional industry. The importance of the practice, it’s impact and specific contributions made by the students and recent graduates will be considered and presented. Highlighting the focus on employability on this project as well as the creative freedoms and independence given to the students. Allowing them to be a key part of the creative.
The paper will be presented alongside a trailer for the film, behind the scenes images and testimonial from the crew involved.
Student as producer is a natural fit to how Jack runs the cinematography department on any set. As collaborative and inclusive working practices are key to a successful film. Inviting students onto any project and giving them the creative freedom can allow for the best work to be produced by all and the best experience to be had. The impact is evident in the film winning the best UK Feature Film award. An Award shared by the whole cast and crew.
Award winning feature film Mind-Set (Dir Mikey Murray, 2022) was created by a crew made up of students, recent graduates & university of Lincoln staff. Student as producer and partners in practice were at the core of the project. This paper explores the impact of this practice on the films success.
