It has been another great tuesday afternoon. As I was last Tuesday, I was in woolwich for a film production group. I may have written tens, if not hundreds of thousands of words over the years about the finer points of film semiotics, but at last I am getting to grips with how to use a camera. It’s fairly basic, but by the end of the course I should have a couple of films to my name, and, perhaps more importantly, some good new contacts. It was, however, good to hear someone use the term ”mise-en-scene” for the first time in years. In fact, it began to feel so much like being back at uni that, at the end of the afternoon, when it was time to leave, for the briefest of moments I expected my old LSA Esther to help me with the door.
