FINE CUT FILMS - MEDIA SKILLS
A specialist site featuring information on interview skills plus film and television production.
Fine Cut Films started life as a production resource - information about programme making.
The Arthur Andersen fiasco changed that; there's now so much interest in media handling techniques, that most of the site is now devoted to this specialist business.
There's still quite a lot of information on film production, though - including how to interview people!

Nonsense - mostly feeble humour All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And Jacqueline a dull girl. A little laugh at the end of the day. |
 |
And, of course, Fine Cut Films makes films! Well, mostly they're high definition videos these days. But who cares about the shooting medium; you want to get your message across and you need the best. Click to find out more. |
