Trip to the Southbank

On Tuesday, 20th, we went to another trip to the Southbank. It was a great experience that was very interesting, knowledgeable as well as fun.
We went into a theatre and met some people that informed us about what we would be doing. We watched the trailer for the BFI London Film Festival and the guys that created it. They explained some useful information about the process they went through to make the trailer. They first had to do some sketches of the scenes they would do and the camera angle. They would then send these sketches to a director and try to have a contract to produce the trailer.
Whilst they were doing the trailer, there were some problems along the way. The team didn't have enough budget to do everything as planned - so for some things they had to emphasise. An example is when there wasn't enough time to go to all of the locations, they had to find a closer location. They also had to get rid of some scenes to save time. Also they had to use the money sensibly because of the low budget.
During the trip, we had an opportunity to interview more professionals. I learnt really useful informations from them. Our first interviewee was Ginger - a publicity person. She was part of a team who publicised movies - one of them being Fantastic Mr. Fox. We also met and interviewed Tim Platt, the creator of the BFI London Film Festival Poster.
After the interviewing, we returned back to the theater where we watched variety of short films.
