BA (Hons) Photography at Falmouth
Just in from Katie is who justed started at Falmouth. Thanks for the info and good luck with the course.
"The last few weeks have majoritively been based on getting to know and
use the equipment studios, dark room ect. Which doesn't sound to
exciting at all but has been... we are being introduced to the
facilities by profession practitioner's whom are involved within the
subject area ie Week one was an introduction to Pinhole Photography
with the Amazing Justin Quinell (Check him out) the aim was to get us
to experiment and work outside of our comfort zone. We had to make
pinhole camera's made out of found object.. shoes and all sorts. which
proved to be really interesting an exciting.
We have about five hours of lectures/seminars per week, our lecturer is
amazing and everyone is asked the opinions and we have separate group
discussions in which we go over and talk about what we learnt &
achieved from the lectures.. its all very interesting and informative..
We are set a brief to shoot ATLEAST two films per week and there are
workshops everyday on different techniques and equipment use in
photography ie Flash workshops, Black and white printing Digital
printing ect. Its very hectic i get some afternoons or mornings off but
am mostly in everyday: i think i have about one whole day off a
fortnight, which is good because i know im definitely getting my moneys
worth!
The facilities here are incredible: brand new 2007, The are two very
large studios in which you can fit trucks and several smaller
ones...there are, dark rooms which include both tray and machine
processing, colour darkrooms, digi sweets and all the latest state of
the art equipment. The store has lot to offer from standard nikon 35mm
to digital slr' to everything basically. What i am most pleased with
are the tutors which are all very approachable, I was having a few
problems in week two and was offered tea and a chat... which I think
sums up the whole environment here which is very friendly.
As for the night life!!!
Its in a small town there are lots of pubs and small bars...so its what
you make it! There are clubs which open till three but usually all the
parties are up at tremough the campus digs which are situated about
5miles from falmouth in a small village called penryn.All the lectures
workshops lessons for this course are in tremough the library and shop
are also situated up here so you don't have to travel into college if
you stay in halls but if you do decide to move into falmouth the bus
run every ten minutes and take around fifteen to get here so its not
far! I guess i would explain the atmosphere here it as being very
relaxed and chilled and obviously with all the scenery and beaches:
beautiful!
Its a great place to study!"
