First Lesson 21/09/2016: Induction Evening - 6pm-8pm

In our first lesson. We met downstairs at the BFI and had an introductory session giving us an insight to the course as well as meeting 2 of our mentors: Alex and Anna. They both  had a very interesting story to tell with where they have been in their career and what they aspire to do when they are older, for example, Alex went to the Future Film BFI Academy herself and then landed a director's PA job on a film set. She is also directing her first feature film soon and in a couple of months she will be off to work for Paramount on contract for 7 years.

Both mentors showed us some work that they have produced (film related) and I was really inspired to see how they achieved their result.

Towards the end of the session, we did an 'ice-breaking' exercise where we spoke to the person next to us and asked them what their favourite and their least favourite films are and the reasons why which we then had to remember and feed back to the rest of the class.
This activity helped us meet our new peers on the course so that we would become closer for when we have to collaborate to make our own films.

At the very end, Alison said she would make a group on Facebook so that we could all keep in contact via social media. We had to find the group and join it so Alison would accept so we could get this group started. Here are some screen shots of the group. There are many more bit of information she has given us, also , this is a place for when we need to ask Alison a question or anyone, and it would also benefit others to know a certain answer.
