NFTS Film Academy Pre-Residential- Day 2

I've had such an awesome time at the NFTS Pre-Residential weekend!
Today I got to look at some more on the film we'll be working on in three weeks time at the actual Residential and thinking about the practicalities of shooting it- we've got quite a sizeable budget as well, which is nice! We're looking at hiring rain machines, traffic lights, a stunt co-ordinator, a car... it's going to be pretty cool!
Not only that, but to top it all off we got to have a Q&A with Mike Newell, the Director of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral"- which was so cool! He gave some really useful information on the Director's job, in particular in taking the role as leader and the importance of rehearsing. A really interesting guy to talk to, he's done basically every genre out there, working on a load of shorts when he began in television.
Anyway, I'm pretty exhausted now but had such an amazing weekend and met so many amazingly talented people! I literally can't wait to go back!!!
