Bradford Film Festival

Arriving at the Media Museum, i was pleasantly surprised with how modern the building was and how many facilities were available. Firstly, i went and tested out a selection of the games available in the gaming corner which was very colourful and amusing.

Secondly, i qued to meet the famous ginger twins from the Harry Potter movies, George and Fred Weasley, to my dissapointment, i soon discovered that everybody's favourite gingers, aren't ginger!

Thirdly, I went to Experience TV and experimented with varied cinematography equipment and different backgrounds. I studied different generations of televisions and read off a script, pretending to be a news reporter.

I then went to the screening of a selected few of the films chosen to be shown at the film festival, i was humoured by many of them, for example the film containing different fruits, which i thought was a very good idea. My favourite film was Lifeguard, it was very funny and had a sarcastic sense to it. My favourite shot throughout the whole viewing was in the music video created by a student at Ilkley Grammar School, of an extreme close up of a young girl's eyes, in black and white. She looks frightenened, and her eyes could tell the story of the whole music video.

When looking around the venue, there were lots of information about various projects from brittish cinema and television, which i found very interesting. There was also a radio cast on one of the floors.

Lastly, i went to a special effects makeup workshop, which was very messy, but alot of fun. I made a gash on my hand using wax and fake blood, which turned out to be very sticky and hard to get off my hand.
