I now know that my 2006 film was awarded a Bronze+ I email this to all of
the cast and crew members.
For myself ,my first film was a silver award, the cast understood and were
delighted as was the crew (Medway Camcorder Club) The second year I entered
the very first film I had made and I recieved a blue award, I wasn't at all
impressed with the judges comments because one had made an assumption that
was totally wrong and I guess based the rest of their judgement on that making
them entirely irrelevant. The second judge said the music was unsuitable
but as the film was of the broken and vandalised grave Angels in the local
churchyard and the music was 'time to say goodbye' I was more than a little
non plussed.
Back to the 'bronze + what a silly award this is and trying to explain the
plus bit to the cast was embarassing....most said if it was very neally a
silver why not give it a silver if it was not a silver why not give it a
bronze.
My sentiments entirely, a gold is a gold, a silver is a silver and a bronze
is a bronze and why have a blue?. This amateurism meddling with the accepted
awards throughout a range of activities devalues the whole process....at
least that what I think, or should the Committee be taking another look at
this?
