It was with Lord David Puttnam, he is a bafta award winning producer for many movies he has
helped created and bring to the big screen.

producing for many movies. He started in the film industry in 1960s working for a

Later Puttnam had a box office success with the musical Bugsy Malone alongside
Alan parker who directed and written it.
David went on to produce many more films and ended up winning an academy
award for best picture for 5 movies he produced.
I learnt a lot from his online seminar about the media industry and how they go from talking and
creating an idea to how they are able to put it on the big screen. He talked a lot about the old
movies he started out on and give much information about his journey through the industry.
I gained a lot of information about how there are many roles in the media industry that are very
important in order to make a tv show or a movie work such as producer, costume, director, actor,
camera crew and many more roles.
As I currently on a project about creating an idea to the screen, he give me much guidance
throughout the seminar as he spoke how a script is very important and how everything need to be
cohesive together.
He mentioned a lot about his friends, who are also in the media industry and how the littlest thing
they said had changed him for the better. He mentions that his friends were able to guide him in
media industry.
