Monday was a tutorial with Richard in which all my ideas were scrapped and I am back to the drawing board. I might try adapting old premises, or come up with new ones. I might even be bold and come up with an outline or two for one of the scrapped premises!
Tuesday was a class on the history of documentary where we heard about everything from "Nanook of the North" to "Sicko". Very interesting and informative. I've only got a limited interest in documentary, but Andy is doing his best to whip up my enthusiasm for it!
Wednesday was a PAT tutorial, very much a box ticking exercise, and I think I spent some time doing editing, but I really can't remember!
Thursday was a full day of Technical class - an excellent day where I learn quite a bit about a matte box, a follow focus and the uses of filters. I'm fairly certain camera is not going to be my specialism, but the more I know about its capabilities, the more confident I'll be in film-making in general.
Friday was a short class about themes and devices in TV. I'd have liked a more concrete definition of that a theme and a device actually are, but otherise, it was a good class.
This was followed by a screening of the Battle of Algiers: see other blog.
