So a little while back I got accepted on the BFI Film Academy at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, which is basically a ten day course at NFTS, where you make a short film, go on various trips etc. Well today was the first day of the "pre-residential" weekend, an extra weekend to allow us to get to know people, have a look at the scripts we'll be turning into films- that sort of thing.
It was so cool! We did some stuff like team-building games, a film quiz as well as getting into the groups we'll be in for the actual residential and looking at the script. Ours is kind of a drama-type film (not going to give away any spoilers) written by Ron Mulvey, a guy who's on the course as a writer and honestly, I can't wait to make it! I'm going to work on sound for the film, which should be awesome!
Tomorrow we get a bit more times in our groups, discussing the script some more and even a masterclass/talk/Q&A with Mike Newell, the director of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "Prince of Persia"... so excited!
