Bond university presentation

It is worth mentioning an extremely useful presentation I attended, held by a teacher from Bond University in Queensland. The presentation was primarily centred around advising the many young film makers in the room. The presenter showed us a few high quality projects from students attending Bond university. One of them was particularly relevant to my project in that it was a short thriller. It was unanimously agreed that the production was of a magnificent quality, the tension it was able to create with the lighting, acting and narrative was impressive to say the least. The film was exactly what I needed to increase my motivation. I would like to replicate some of the lighting the film used, the character was certainly cast by shadows but was still distinguishable in the small dark room.The narrative was excellent, It was handled professionally and had just the right amount of complexity for a film of a short duration. The teacher discussed the difference between soft and hard lighting and gave us many helpful hints as to how to improve the quality of our work.
