SUMMARY OF MINUTES FROM MEETING ON 07/05/06

1. Cinecam Film
   §  Meg is still acting as Executive Producer for the moment. Half of the shooting is completed and the remainder is to be done this week. We will meet again to discuss the situation when shooting has been finished.
   §  So far, over £100 has been spent on lighting for the film and a further £120 will have to be spent for the upcoming shoot.
   §  Rahul (Producer) and Anthony (Director) would like a big screening launch party for the film, probably in May Week.
    
2. Tuesday Screenings: Lightbox Collaboration
   §  This term, and possibly subsequently, we will be holding Tuesday screenings in conjunction with Lightbox Films, set up by a 1st Year from King's.
   §  We will screen 'Delicatessen' this Tuesday and then take a break until the examinations are finished. Maria from Lightbox will send us an e-mail to forward to the list.
    
3. Publicity
   §  Bella has been in touch with CUSU and we will now have a stall on the Freshers' Fair 2006 and also appear in the Societies Booklet.
   §  We discussed the possibility of the committee getting T-shirts or hoodies with the Cinecam logo on them. We decided that the best format would be a small logo with 'Cinecam' on the front and then a large logo, possibly also with the word 'Cinecam', on the back. Bella will look into prices.
    
4. Equipment
   §  Lights  Meg recommends buying lights, as these have been one of our greatest expenses and also the thing that amateur film-makers are least likely to own themselves. Another possibility would be to liase with the ADC, who have suitable lighting equipment that they might be willing to lend us - perhaps in return for filming some of their shows.
   §  Insurance  We will investigate various insurance premiums for our equipment. CUSP are currently experiencing difficulties paying for the insurance of their camera so they might be willing to strike some sort of deal with us.
    
5. Budget - Notes from Former Treasurer
   §  Membership revenue  We may need to raise membership prices if we are going to buy new equipment. It is worth bearing in mind that we have tripled membership by the introduction of Half Membership.
   §  Accounts  Our capital has reduced from £1260 to £960 over the last year; this includes the purchase of equipment and the loss made on the Festival.
   §  Festival  The Festival made a loss of £30, the greatest expenses being guest rooms for our judges and publicity.
    
6. May Week Activities
   §  Committee Picnic  The committee will meet up after the exams are finished, in order to make a rough plan of Michaelmas activities.
   §  48 Hour Film Challenge  We will run a 48-hour film challenge probably on the first weekend of May Week, running into Suicide Sunday. The screening will be the following Friday, 23rd June. Kirsty will look into details for this as soon as her exams are over.
   §  Garden Party  We will host a Garden Party, probably on the last Friday of May Week, to follow or precede the screening of the 48-hour film challenge films. We will all look into the possibilities of using gardens at our Colleges and also of what screening facilities might be available for that day.
   §  Screening of Cinecam Film  We will discuss this further with Anthony and Rahul but the current possibilities seem to be (i) separate screening with the Oriental Society, (ii) screen on 16th June at the Fitzwilliam Auditorium if Jon Rowe will permit it, or (iii) screen at the 48-hour screening. We could also ask Queens' films if they would be interested in showing it before the main film at their May Week outdoor film screening, which always has a large audience.
