DAY ONE
After long introductory speeches by the end of which you only hear the groans and yawns of a desperate audience, we were catapulted into the basics of film making.
"Go and make a film" they told us, having shown us how to assemble a camera, met only with expressions of confusion or horror among the class, I'm not sure which...
Given ten minutes to doodle a storyboard, we split into teams with the hope of deciphering our primitive stick-men and making something amazing. Camera carefully assembled, actors in place, it was time for action.
Surreal is not the word, so suddenly are you plunged into the world of film making and all the quirks and problems it produces. But after twenty five minutes I had made 'something'.
With trepidation I went, memory cards in hand, to the editing suite to see what on earth I had produced. After a crash course in editing (the collective expression of confusion and horror was again ever present) we made our films.
And then to bed.
