On Thursday 21 November
2013 our media class attended to the B.F.I (British
Film Institute) Southbank to listen to a lecture titled 'Making Film
Opening for AS Media Studies Students' direct by Pete Fraser. At the start we were given the program for the day
(put up a pic of the program)
I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of the day as we were introduce to
the whole concept of a film opening. Pete
Fraser gave us a real insight to a film opening and how important is to
know the genre that I have chosen really well. In my opinion the best part of
first half of the day was when having the chance to ask and gain answer
directly from Simon Frame. Simon Frame is a visual effects Special effect producer and supervisor.
He is well known for taking the role as special effects supervisor for the
TV series Da Vinci's Demons -2013
Simon Frame broke it down for us on how he had created this
opening. What impresses me was that he had carried out this task the 'old'
fashion way which was to draw it on paper then transfer it digitally.
Which I found it amazing because it showed me that I didn't need high tec
equipment or high quality editing software but I just needed my imagination
In addition, the second half of the day was more to do with
what we had to do in order to carry out our film opening task. Pete Fraser had
a very helpful sildeshare up, which informed us key facts of what we should
avoid such as to sure that the typography of the titles matches with your genre of
the film opening. What I found really helpful was the four different examples
that was presented to us in the lecture. All four were awarded different grades
which indicates me straight away what I should do for my film opening as well
as how to gain as mark for my film opening.
Furthermore, we also had a Q&A with Jake Hume
who I found very interesting as someone in the audience asked "how to do
became a producer?" in reply Hume said "you start of by making your
own film" Which to me was not a really good answer as I thought he would
give a step by step 'plan' however, I understood that in media if you are
determined and creative you can become what you want to become.
