Professional Study trip (Newcastle)

Newcastle Trip

The whole class spent a day out in Newcastle whilst there we visited the Baltic art gallery which is situated just next to the river and the Tyneside Cinema which is more closer to the center of the city we also had a chance to walk around and reccie film locations.

I felt that the the Tyneside Cinema was more closely related to my course being the last remaining full operational newsreel theatre in the UK which not only specializes in vintage news show reels but mainstream and lesser known foreign films as well as that If I ever wanted to I could even potentially have a future film of my own shown there.

It well as being an active cinema and cafe it was also a museum with displays of old camera equipment and other objects and you got a real sense of how far cinema has come and how diverse it can be walking around.

While on the tour of the multi story building we had a chance to see some vintage news reels,the kind of cameras that would of filmed those newsreels and last but not least the buildings constantly blending of new and old architecture which allows the building to stay up to date and modern but also have a hint of the past behind it at the same time.

The other place we visited had little to nothing to do with my course I feel but was interesting none the less

it had a lot of art from up coming artists and a big stained glass window project that was on display
