Fiction Adaptation Unit- Alex Boorman Workshop

Recently I have attended a workshop with a visitor to Maidstone Studios called Alex Boorman. Boorman is a freelance camera operator with a lot of experience in the industry, having been a part of production teams that have worked on many mainstream projects. Therefore his knowledge and experience was something that I thought would be very useful for us to tap into and be around.
In a group of 5, we created a short film based on the emotions of loss and confusion. The story being that the main character (me) had lost signal on my mobile phone, and was confused about why.

I found this experience to be a very valuable one, and I learnt a lot from being able to question Alex Boorman. In class, I made sure to ask him about the more technical side of filming, such as copyright on music used in showreels, and also the law when it comes to filming in public. I am sure this learning experience will be valuable in the future.
