Film Festival

On friday the 9th of November our media class went on a school trip to the ASFF which is a film festival held in the centre of york, we got to the main stage of where the main speakers were who were Barry Ryan and Danny Cohen from Warp Films. They were at the Film Festival due to it being the 10th anniversary of Warp Films.

We encountered masterclasses from both gentlemen one from Barry Ryan about his expreinces in the Warp film industries and the times and memories that he has had working at Warp. He gave us a presentation of how many hours and time gets put into each and every film that he has had a part in making which was:
30 days preparation
30 days shooting
150 days post
210 days
10 hours a day
2100 week
18 times 2100 is 37500 hours of making films
This was a great eyeopener to the world of media and production of how things work in a prodcing company.

The other masterclass we encountered was from Danny Cohen this of which was a more formal interview which took place on centre stage. During this masterclass we viewed many clips fropm some of his previous films working with Shane Meadows. His Masterclass was mainly focused on cinematography and the aspects of it, Also they key thing that Danny said was that it was easy when you know what you were doing with is and you can turn something hugely complicated into sometihng incredibaly easy. Danny produced many differant films such as The Kings Speech and This is England
