Below is a link to the blog created by Tim Woodcock, presenter of the 'Making Film Opening Sequences' workshop Yr 12 & 13 students attended on Thursday 19th November.
On the blog are the presentations and resources used on the day. I have also included links to Corin Hardy Director of The Hallow who came to talk to the assembled students in the afternoon about his latest realease and his route in to film.
Every film; sorry let me correct myself, every good film has a memorable scene or is filled with memorable scenes. The power of the scene and the narrative it gives almost becomes a story in itself. These are the scenes we return too again and again, or will watch the entire film just to capture that moment and be reminded of something within, something that stirs a powerful emotion.
To list all of the scenes I feel capture this would take more than the capacity this blog allows. Below I have included just two I feel evoke the strongest emotional reaction. If they stir emotion in you then I highly recommend you watch the entire film, it will be well worth it.
Later also think about what the director has done and how they have managed to draw out the emotion in the scene and from the actors.
Very little of what you hear in the movies is real - in this lesson we take a look at the art of Foley, how to classify it, the history of the man who started it all and take a crack at doing our own Foley work.
