Third session 05/10/2016: Screening and talk of Tyburnia with Director James Holcombe - 6pm-8pm

In this session, we met a director called James Holcombe who spent 5/6 years making the film Tyburnia which focused on historical events. He used Bolex cameras to film and he had to manually dry the footage and clean it etc. in order to make the movie and this is why it took so long to make. 

We watched the film for the first hour and 10 minutes and we asked him lots of questions about how he filmed it and where he found the research to make the film overall. 

I thought this class was very beneficial as it was getting us ready to start filming with 16mm Bolex cameras on the Saturday of this week. I also wondered how he made the film with all the flickering lights and unique camera techniques and I was intrigued and excited to learn about it on Saturday where we would have a workshop with him.
