The British Film Institute on London's Southbank is a four screen
cinema, used for film/ TV previews, industry workshops, and educational talks/
activities. Today, myself and the rest of the ECS AS media class took a visit
here to attend a Film Openings talk, in order to help us achieve the highest
grades on our coursework.
The day
consisted of 3 sessions, each hosted by media and film teacher Tom Woodcock,
and a Q&A session with actor and director Dexter Fletcher. Sessions 1 and 2
discussed the conventions film openings/ title sequences, with 1 focusing on
macro conventions, and 2 on the micro conventions. The second half of the day
was split into 2 halves- the first half was spent watching film openings
directed by Fletcher and having the opportunity to speak with him. The last
half was the 3rd of Tom's sessions, entitled 'Making Film Openings', which gave
us an insight into what needs to be done for us to achieve the best possible
results from the time and resources available to us.
