BFI

On Thursday 2nd December our Media class visited the BFI for a conference. The people talking included Daniel Kleinman, who talked to us about his work on the James Bond title sequences and some of his adverts, and Colin Goudie, who edited the recent movie Monsters. Also there to talk to us was Pete Fraser, the senior examiner for Media A Level, who showed us a few different levels of AS project and showed us a few useful websites, including his own blog for media and a website called Art of the Title Sequence, which has lots of film introductions on  it and is a very useful source for research about a particular genre of title sequence. One of the sequences he showed us was for Catch Me If You Can:

Obviously, this isn't technology we would easily be able to get hold of, but it's interesting to see. The day was very useful and informative, especially Pete's bit, as it showed us what could go wrong with our movies and how easy it is to overlook important things such as good titles and soundtrack.
