From Saturday through to Tuesday we were budying professionals at BBC Scotland, filming an event called Show Light; Industry professionals and students meeting together to explore lighting in film, television, architecture etc. The experience was helpful,I have always wanted to know what happens behind the cube of metal and glass.
On Wednesday, there was a screening of Easy Riders and Raging Bulls. Which gave us an insight of the 1970s crazy film culture. I found this class incredibly interesting, so much so I bought the book. I love this revolutionary time in film history.
On Thursday it was time to find out which one of our short films were commissioned. There was a strange twist and only one film was nominated Charlotte Carden's Little Clown. It seems to me a very artsy film and will be an interesting to work on. I'm looking forward to the end product. The rest of the day we were situated into different departments and roles. My role in this production is the 2ND Camera Assistant.
On Friday we finished the TV module with Andy looking at future of television, specifically its role as a force for social cohesion.
In Abigail's class on Friday afternoon, we watched Floating is Easy, the film we took a long time to breakdown and schedule. The film was slightly different how I pictured when I was breaking down the script but the film was enjoyable but as most of Scottish films are, DEPRESSING. I suppose it's our job to change this.
