Creative futures week took place in February. It was a week devoted to lectures given by guest lectures talking about their careers and how their experiences could help the creative media students.
One lecture that stood out for me in particular was a lecture given by lecturer "Jason Davitt". Jason is an independent film maker who told his story of how he started his career with no qualifications and no experience of film making, until he decided to write his own script and film with no budget and just his family and friends as actors, and now he receives funding by other independent film making companies to make more films.
During his lecture, he showed us the processes he took when making his latest film via a DVD presentation. He demonstrated the importance of script writing and story boarding a film, and the importance of things during filming; like lighting and sound quality. This information was of great value to me as I intend to work in film in the future.
At the end of the lecture he gave the student's who attended his contact telephone number to get in touch with him for work experience. I have recently contacted him and he has confirmed that he will give me work experience.
