Last week, our tutor, Angela, and another tutor, Jonathan, took 17 students to London to do all sorts of activities related to media, film, graphics and art.
While we were there, we went to the London Film Museum, where Adam and I got to look at many different elements of fantasy (including an exhibition on Ray Harryhausen's Myths and Legends, and real batman and superman costumes!)
We also visited the BFI, where we searched through film archives in their Mediatheque. There we had great difficulty finding many films or film clippings related to the fantasy genre, or at least as we know it, as many of the articles were quite old; a large portion being in black and white, and in a way proved the Desentisization theory, where things that were scary in the days of black and white film don't bother us today at all, and fantasy is unbelievable.
And finally, something that was of enjoyment to us all, but still slightly media related to Adam and I, we went to see the musical 'Wicked' live at Victoria Apollo. The show was fantastic, and really showed what was possible without CGI.
The trip overall has been a real eye opener, and I can't wait to get started on my teaser trailer!
