Week one of this year’s Film Club started brilliantly with a keen group of Year 7 students joining some of our more experienced members.
We got straight to it, and after a chat about the Lumiere Brothers and the constraints present in their film making (both the technical restraints of their early cameras and the more internal restraints of what they imagined was possible) we headed out to the South Bank to explore what a single minute of fixed shot filming could reveal about this year’s unifying idea: Le Meteo, the Weather.
I think you’ll agree that the weather was indeed a strong force in each of the “Lumiere Minutes” captured.
