The images in this blog are from the film 'Shooting Star ' which was made by Robert Beasley , James Quayle and Jonathan Wooloff. All of whom are past alumni of Abingdon
and Witney college.
James Quayle came in and gave the first and second year
media students a talk on Monday 14th October.
The talk was about pathways open to students looking to
move into the the media industries, whether that be through, apprenticeships,
University or starting out as a self-shooter. He spoke a bit about his
background; following university he worked for the BBC as a runner to begin
with and eventually worked himself up to be the 1st AD (Assistant Director) on
Holby City.
From there he became a freelance self shooter, working on
a range of corporate work as well as writing and directing his own shorts.
Most recently he has set up a film company in Oxfordshire
called Warpline Films.
At the end of the talk the students watched 'Shooting
Star' and then Robert (also a lecturer on the Media courses) and James went on to discuss the production, from
pre-production - principal photography - post-production. They related that
to the process the students have to go through for their own units, even
passing around our pre-production folder from the project.
