I was really excited for this one! Our professor had told us that we would be making a visit to the British Film Institute, and as a film major I was excited of course!  The building was quite interesting as well with its concrete walls and structure that was made to look as though it was put up with various sized pieces of wood.  Something I had seen before but not to this massive size.

I think originally I had a misconception about what was going to be inside of the institute?  Part of what I expected was there (British Films), but not as much as I had hoped for I guess?  I did end up watching a film that I had never seen before featuring Gary Oldman in one of his beginning roles as an actor (or at least I think it was).  He played a gang leader in London except they seemed to only vandalize other gangs in the area and not really the public.  Interesting film, but a little out there for me with its content.  I was really hoping that I’d get to see a film studio and film equipment so I can feel a bit more home like I do back at my campus in the states, but we didn’t get a chance to adventure that way.  Little bit my fault due to my not going out and adventuring on my own even though I saw a sign that said “studio” that I didn’t walk towards.

Leaving the Institute I did end up joining some friends at the British Museum and found probably one of my more favorite print-works hidden in the rear of the museum.  It just amazed me with all of the detail that went into each of them.
