British Film Institute trip

On Friday 11th November, our media group went to London for the BFI Southbank's lectures by Tom Woodcock and director/actor Dexter Fletcher. I recorded the trip and a small section of Fletcher's lecture, where he talked about three films he'd directed (Wild Bill, Sunshine on Leith and Eddie the Eagle) and answered questions about their opening sequences to help with our coursework. Tom Woodcock did more of a teaching-lecture where we picked out micro and macro elements of opening sequences, and listened to tips for production and other students' ideas for their own coursework. We watched a few examples of student work and graded them, and overall the day generated some ideas for our own coursework and also gave us advice for the production side of the project. Fletcher gave more of an insight to careers in media and acting, and what being a director is really like.
