In today's lesson, a man from Bond University came in to speak to us.
He talked to us about different things to remember when creating a film, such as:

• Establishing shots so the audience knows where the setting is
• Dark clothing and walls (painted) can make a bright room (with bright lights) look dark
• Identifying characters and the relationships with each other with actions rather than words

He also told us about the annual film competition that Bond University run. The grand prize is a schoolarship to Bond University (valued at nearly $80, 000). He then began to show us some short films, and told us about the techniques used by the entrants to make certain affects.

It was a very interesting lesson, and I took a lot out of it.
