Film School Session 1





Film School Session 1

On the 9th October we started film school which will help me develop my skills within filmmaking. I hope to learn different techniques during Film school like camera techniques, how to write a good plot also I would like to better skills that I already have for example, Editing and Makeup.

This week’s film’s Cool was led by Kate Hardie an Actress, Writer and Director, who grew up in North London and has been in many TV series and movies such as Casualty, Criminal Justice and The Krays.

Kate introduced her self and gave a brief bio about herself, her life before being an actress and where she was at now. She then went on to explain what a genre is.  The genre is what makes a film grab the audience’s attention it’s they recognise more but in order to have a genre first you must have a Idea, a concept or an  issue that you want to talk about, once you have that then you can apply the genre to it.
The issue you want to express could be Bulling or self esteem once you have this you can apply genre to it, you can have and action movie where someone gets bullied and then a anti bulling hero comes and saves the day.
Once you have your idea it’s easier to fit your genre around it and then start creating your story line.

After listening to what Kate had to say it really helped me in terms of my own film story line.
