News From Victoria - AustraliaBy Tony AndrewsWONTHAGGI MOVIE MAKERSOur new movie club was formed in February for movie and audio-visual enthusiasts in the South Gippsland,Victoria, area since the nearest movie clubs are in the Melbourne area, a four hour round trip away.After four months it is going very well, with nineteen members already, and most attending every meeting.Several members have been showing their movies, and we have had very interesting and informative presentationsand workshops from local independent movie producer Mike Green of Drift Media.There was a general talk on the basics of video production at our April meeting, since some of our membersare beginners in this area. Our May discussion and workshop was about exposure and lighting, bothfrom natural light and three-point artificial light.Currently members are working on preparing ninety second video postcards which we hope will be shownon ABC television.
