Our class was privileged enough to be given the opportunity to visit the British Film Institute in London as an extended teaching session related to our main task. We were one of many schools and colleges that attended this event. There we had a few sessions with a renowned media teacher, showing us various examples of opening scenes and teaching us various factors to include in them. These sessions were incredible helpful as it brought to life many ideas and questions people had related to what was to be done for our main task.
Secondly, we had a Q and A with a film maker called Corin Hardy. Corin came in to promote his new film "the hallow", critique some of our ideas for opening scenes and give us an insight into the development of ideas and the amount of effort put into filming. He also showed us the opening scene of his film before it had even been put in cinemas!
