*Film is Magical*

Time and again, movies make magic. They transport us to other worlds, ignite passion and imagination, and show us possibilities in every human endeavor. They do this whether it’s a cartoon or a film that uses real actors.  Film unites people the world over. In fact, it’s one major  human invention that most cultures love and share.

Move make memories as well as magic. It is not uncommon to hear people reflect back on their childhood via certain movies. People who lived in the 1970s remember the impact that blockbusters such as Jaws and Star Wars made on the world.  They remember the first time they saw these films, and how they felt when seeing Jaws emerge from the water the first time or what they thought when Luke Skywalker learned the truth about his father. If they were children at the time, they might even remember playing their own versions of these movies with friends.

Friendships are often forged on movies.

It only makes sense to make a memorable experience like a birthday more memorable by making it a movie…with friends.

*Original 10 Year Old Birthday Party Ideas*

Planning 10 year old birthday party ideas means being current on trends in music, movies, television, social media, and more. Sometimes, busy parents lack the time and energy to know all the hottest trends among kids these ages. Forget asking teachers. After all, they have other responsibilities to tend to!

Parents that want to throw a party to remember for their ten-year-old should check out www.youngfilmacademy.co.uk . We know to plan and execute the ultimate child’s birthday party that is fun even for adults to watch, all for an affordable fee.

We specialise in youngfilm to make your child’s birthday memorable.

*The Perfect Ideas for Ten Year Olds*

Ten is the first double-digit birthday a person celebrates so children turning this age look at it as a milestone. Parents like to mark the occasion as well because they recognize that while ten is not a teenager, the teenage years are not far behind. Parents often look at this birthday as one where they can do something with just a tinge of the teenage drama while prolonging the joy of being a kid.

*Our Party Themes*

We offer a stylish selection of party themes from which to choose. All of our themes answer children’s need for technology and fast-paced fun, but all of our themes also require that children use their imaginations via play acting, creating costumes, and more.

Our themes include:

(Popstar Party )

This party allows a maximum of twenty guests to film a music video set to a track of your choosing. We show up with our film crew to the home of the main popstar, or a venue that can hold that much star power in one place. It’s up to the parents—also known as the managers!—to choose. Once the time and place are arranged, everything naturally falls into place with that much talent around.

Here’s what to expect from the pop star video shoot:

-The shoot takes 3.5 hours.
-E-invites to send out to guests.
-A YFA filmmaker and a party assistant get the party and the shoot going.
-Our crew provides a PA system for the music.
-Our crew  brings the camera and post production equipment.
-Our crew provides a dazzling array of costumes and props.
-We create a downloadable party promo that can be shared with all of your pop star fans as desired.

These parties delight the birthday boys and girls to no end! It’s an absolute blast for them to use various settings to express themselves to a favorite song. We’ll capture them doing great group and solo dances.

Have them rehearse their parts ahead of time if they want to use complicated choreography, but keep in mind it’s best to keep it simple.

Another version of this theme is the Green Screen Pop Star Party.  It perfectly suits ages five-thirteen.

This theme is super fun! We shoot the pop stars in front of a green screen which allows them to change locations while performing the song of their choice, all without every leaving the room. When boogying in front of the green screen, there are hundreds of settings to choose from and we bring them right to your home or choice of venue.

This pop star party version lasts 3.5 hours and the basics include:

-Our crew creating themed e-invitations to send to all the pop stars.
-Our crew composed of YFA filmmaker and one party assistant attending the party.
-Our crew providing a music PA system.
-Our crew bringing all camera, green screen and post-production equipment
-Our crew providing a selection of costumes and props.

In other words, our crew takes care of all pop stars and managers!
