On Friday we went to the Aesthetica Short Film Festival in York. We were able to see video screenings and masterclasses from people in the film industry.
When we arrived we went to watch music videos which were being shown in White Stuff (the clothes shop). My favourite videos from the ones we saw we Paul Weller - Dragonfly (directed by Franck Trebillac at Soup Factory) and Miracles Club - Church Song (directed by Judesays at Team Video) as I think both videos visually represent the songs well and are interesting as they have produced something you wouldn't see very often in music videos today.
We then went to our first masterclass by Barry Ryan who is head of production at Warp Films. This was interesting because he went over the history of Warp Films as well as giving loads more information which will help us in our exam resit.
We then had 10 minutes to go to another screening, and me and Will went to the comedy screening and watched a short film called Cook Book, directed by Andrew William Robb. What was interesting about this film was that there was no dialogue but it still managed to get across the comedy.
Finally we went back to York Theatre Royal to watch a masterclass from BAFTA nominated cinematographer Danny Cohen. Danny was interviewed by a woman and they talked about aspects such as framing and reasons for making certain choices when filming.
Overall it was good.
