BFI day out

Our media class took a trip to the 'British Film Institute' on the 16th July 2010, we watched many different genre short films on our own private screens with personal headphones, which allowed us to analyse the films in great detail and gain ideas from them, to start our own project of making a short film!

These are some of the following films that we watched:
Borderline by Alex Chandon (4 minutes)
Milk by Andrea Arnold (10 minutes)
Project One (5 minutes)
Sundial by William Raban (1 minute)
Girls' Night Out by Joanna Quinn (6 minutes).
We then were told to take our own cameras and walk about Southbank to capture moments and find ideas for our projects. We went along the river and that is where Deema and I got the idea for a city romance, with the river, a bridge and london aspects included in it, such as public transport and daily lives.
After lunch we then had a lecture about short films and how they are made and go through production and the codes and conventions of short films, along with discussing our own ideas for our short films and what we had thought of the short films we saw in the morning and what had inspired us.
