BFI: AS Coursework Trip

To help us get a better understanding on how to make our opening scenes better and how our coursework is marked, we went to the BFI in London as a year group. 
We were given top tips which were:

• To avoid using too many locations when shooting and control the space used.
• Limit colour palette.
• Use lighting to set the mood and being consistent with it.
• Consistency with size, colour, transitions and space.
• Don't forget negative space. 
• Have one or two fonts so that the opening scene looks professional (optional).
• Clear storyboarding.

In the afternoon, Dexter Fletcher came for a Q&A session. He is the director of 'Eddie the Eagle', 'Sunshine on Leith' and 'Wild Bill'. We watched all of his opening scenes and then asked him questions about how he approached it and how he had to face obstacles during the shoot.
