- 1. FdA Film & TV references Devon Air Ambulance Sarah Burden, PR Manager of Devon Air Ambulance Trust said Its a real pleasure working with the FdA Foundation Degree Filmmakers from Exeter College. The students take the time to get to know us and ensure they fully understand the brief and what we want from the film. When filming with us they are extremely professional, focused and dedicated. I cannot speak more highly of the students or their lecturers. The benefits to the Charity are huge. Our PR budget can only go so far so receiving up to date, great quality films from the students is a huge bonus. Working with the students gives us the opportunity to give something back to the community. Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust 'In 2014 we were asked by NHS management to include a film on our service user website. We approached Exeter College as we knew their filmmaking department had a good reputation. Dean got in touch and was so helpful and enthusiastic about the film and guided us through the planning and script for the film and voice over. Dean then brought his students to our Demonstration centre to make the film. All the students conducted themselves professionally during the filming day and worked well with the staff at the centre, explaining clearly what was required. They worked very efficiently and creatively and were a great team with great leadership from Dean. We were impressed with the speed of completing the final film, at their attention to detail and their response to feedback in the final edit. The end result has been a great success and we have had positive feedback from service users about the film and NHS management. The film has achieved the brief and working with the FdA Foundation Degree Filmmakers exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to other services. We were especially impressed with Dean's leadership and enthusiasm as he really inspired his students, brought out the best in them and gave them confidence in their ability.' Philippa Greenslade - Specialist Occupational Therapist - NHS Exeter Chiefs Working with the FdA Foundation Degree Filmmakers was a great experience for all involved.

The professional finish is well beyond our expectations and I wouldnt hesitate in commissioning them again or recommending them as well! Chris Bentley - Corporate Sales Executive
- 2. Devons Top Attractions Working with Exeter Colleges FdA Foundation Degree Filmmakers has been an absolute pleasure and with excellent results. Both the lecturer Dean Ferris and his students have been both professional and helpful throughout the entire project. The project was well planned and executed and the finished films quality far exceeded any expectations that we had. The film is currently being used on several of Devons top visitor attraction websites and was even endorsed by Visit Devon. Giving the students the chance to work on a real commission and working within the local tourism industry has given them some excellent work experience and we hope to continue working with them.

Amanda Bealing - Volunteering Consultant, South West Mobility Team Great Western Features and The Comic Strip presents The Red Top Great Western Features are involved in production of a new Comic Strip presents film entitled The Red Top. It stars Maxine Peake, Russell Tovey, Johnny Vegas, Harry Enfield, James Buckley and John Sessions amongst others. The shoot took place during September and early October 2015 in Plymouth. Throughout the shoot Exeter College, Media and Performing Arts Department provided around 15 students who got involved in a range of activities in front of and behind the camera. These activities included working with costume and makeup, setting up and striking sets with the art department, supporting the grip and camera crew, working with props and gaffer and many being in front of camera as supporting artists. The feedback about student contribution was very positive from all departments. Different department heads regularly commented on how helpful and supportive the students were and that they had contributed significantly to the shoot. The students demonstrated the ability to manage the different obstacles that arise during any shoot and join in with the team atmosphere. Two students, Tanya and Emily Bray, played a particularly significant contribution for which we are all very grateful. They were both wonderful people and really became part of the team. On behalf of Great Western Features and all involved, I would like to thank you so much for you hard work and your special contribution. It was a real pleasure. I also thank Dean Ferris for initiating, coordinating and organising so effectively and sensitively on behalf of the college. Kevin Feaviour - Casting Director/ 3rd Assistant Director
- 3. Great Western Features and The Comic Strip presents The Red Top The students who joined us over several days of the production were a joy to have around and also contributed greatly to making the film. They did everything from the basics of looking after crew and cast with teas and coffee, an essential part of any film production, to giving a hand in the various departments. As well as giving hand on help in the art department, production office, and generally behind the scenes they were able to experience first hand the complexities of shooting drama with a large team and the time it all takes. And for the chosen few there was a chance to actually be in the film. Hopefully the experience gave them all a taste of and insight into what film making is like with a large cast, period dressing, numerous locations and a tight budget. And shows them too that this can all be achieved anywhere - even in Devon. Please thank them for all their help. They really did contribute to making the film. Nick Smith Producer Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership Daniel and Thomas played an integral part in creating a well-received short film of the final conference of the EU Citizens Rail project (www.citizensrail.org). They shot footage of all speeches and Q&A sessions throughout the day, as well as audience shots, workshops and vox pops. The results were comprehensive and excellent. As lead partner in the project, the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership team were extremely impressed by Daniel and Thomass work on the day, with several colleagues commenting on their professionalism in the face of a packed schedule and short set-up time. The framing of the shots, the wide variety of angles and approaches, and the warm human interactions between participants that they captured were first class. The quality of the footage made the editing of the film (done in house by the Devon & Cornwall Rail Partnership) a pleasure, with the final video available to watch at: www.citizensrail.org/conference.
