1/10/16 - Outing to exploding Cinema - 7pm-11pm

On the first Saturday of the academy, a few of us went to the Exploding Cinema at the Cinema Museum for Disposable film screening. The screening started at 7 and was on for the next four hours until 11pm. There were a lot of short films, some longer than others. 

For example, 

• one film was only 40 seconds long and was animation where an ice-cream was melting. This film had a comedic effect on the audience due to the content as well as the fact that it was so short.

• another animation film called 'Doghouse' was also animation and had more of a narrative where a males voice-over told us about his parents splitting up and the dad had to go and live in the dog house, however towards the end, the parents made up because of the dogs. This therefore, was longer than the 40 second film due to the fact that the story had to be portrayed. This film stood out most of all for me as it had a memorable story that, although can be quite cliche because of parents splitting up, it was also very unique due to the concept of the dogs bringing people together. It had a strong message that inspired me to get me thinking for ideas for when I come to making my own film with my group.

The building was very individual and vintage-like as there were old cameras and historical exhibitions around on the first floor, then on the second floor, there were lots of film books to choose from as well as certain souvenirs that one can take home as a memory of the cinema.
