I swear to submit to the following set of rules drawn up and confirmed by Film Éire:
1. All Film Éire films must be filmed on the island of Ireland and the stories must set in either the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland or both. This is to encourage the growth of both the film industry and local talent across the whole of Ireland. This is similar to Soviet Cinema of the 1920s where resources were used to create films that told stories set against the backdrop of the Soviet Union. Film Éire stories will aim to tell diverse stories using Ireland as a backdrop.
2. Film Éire recognises that Ireland is home to multiple cultures, both indigenous and immigrant and that all of these cultures have their own stories to tell therefore Film Éire …show more content…
All Film Éire films must be filmed on location and the use of purpose build sets or green screen is prohibited, this is similar to both Dogma 95 and Italian Neorealism. However unlike Dogma 95 any props that are required may be brought to the set for use in the film.
4. All of the film’s imagery must be captured on camera and the use of on lens filters are permitted, however the use of computer software to add in special effects, colour grading or filters in post-production is prohibited. Any special effects needed must be done practically on camera. This is inspired by post war German Expressionists who, due to circumstance, had to find practical ways to develop or adapt new methods in order to create the imagery they wanted to see on the screen.
5. The use of artificial lighting is permitted as this is an important and often overlooked method of capturing the right image on camera as well as helping eliminate the need to alter the image in computer software during post-production. This is the opposite stance to early Soviet Cinema that used all natural lighting to add realism or Dogma 95 which prohibits the use of artificial light with the exception of a single lamp attached to the camera, however we feel that restrictions on lighting deprive the filmmaker of a powerful filmmaking tool and can limit their …show more content…
Film Éire recognises that sound is as important as image in film. While it is preferable to capture all sound during filming, unlike Dogma 95, if necessary sound can be recorded separately from the image, however all sound must be diegetic and any Foley effects and other sound must be created and recorded from scratch. The use of sound generated by computer software, stock audio and any non-diegetic sound is prohibited. Again, this is inspired by post war German Expressionists and is intended to inspire filmmaker’s creativity and problem solving skills in producing their own film effects as opposed to being reliant on computer software and computer generated sound
