RSS feeds allow you get updates as soon as a website is updated. For example, if you sign up to our News RSS feed you will be notified when we update the News pages of the Screen Yorkshire website.

First of all you need a newsreader, this is the software that monitors different sites and notifies you when they've been updated. Some newsreaders are browser based and some you need to download to your own computer. The browser based newsreaders allow you receive RSS feeds wherever you log onto to your browser.

Once you have a newsreader you click on the orange RSS feed button on different websites to select a feed from that site.

Below are the feeds you can receive from the Screen Yorkshire website, they are the main areas we will update regularly.

Case StudyCaroline Silk - Hair and Make-up artist

Caroline Silk has been working as a make-up artist for several years.In January she did a two-day flawless airbrushing course thanks to Screen Yorkshire funding from Skillset.
"Continually updating my knowledge and developing new skills is important; it's also about keeping up with technology and moving with the industry. Airbrushing is an essential skill to have, especially for high definition television and, ultimately, the more skills I can offer a production, the more employable I am. Screen Yorkshire has always been helpful.My applications for funding have been dealt with very quickly and queries are answered in a friendly and professional manner."

Caroline is also listed on the Screen Yorkshire crew database which has led to work on a feature film. She thinks her future continues to lie in the region: "Yorkshire is easy to get around
and it's a short hop to other filming hotspots like the Midlands, Liverpool, Manchester and further north. We've got everything a production needs from pre- and post-production facilities and kit hire companies to plenty of crew who are experienced at all levels."
