I have attended a course hosted by the BFI at The Showroom cinema in Sheffield. The Showroom is an independant cinema and is also funded through charity. I heard about the course via the Showroom's website. As I want to be a filmmaker (I will go on to study film production at university) I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to gain more experience in filmmaking and further my knowledge of the industry.
Many opportunities were provided by this course such as a networking workshops and experience in multi-cam TV work. The course was brilliant way to bring together students with similar interests from different locations.
Rob Speranza from South Yorkshire Film Makers Network (SYFMN) came in to give us a workshop about networking. He told us the basic necessary skills that would help us in social situations such as networking. This was extremely beneficial as the confidence gained from this workshop will help when faced with these types of situations in my career.
We were given access to equipment similar to what is used in television studios, we were then able to create a series of interviews using two cameras. This was a great bit of extra experience which was only possible due to The Showroom's and BFI's resources.
