Experimental

Experimental shooting will begin 2 weeks today. I'm Really excited to figure out how to use green screening techniques. I will be using Charlie Aldridge as experimental actor.

Sherlock Holmes

After watching Sherlock Holmes last night, I really liked the use of a certain camera filter that was used throughout to give the film an olden day effect. part of my film will be set in the past so i will learn to use a similar effect to show that its in the past.i will learn how to create this effect by watching this video co pilot tutorial and then experimenting until i get the desired effect as i dont need the old graing flickering look, just more of a semi sepia tone.

Questionnaire

From A Level Art

here is an example of my questionnaire

Just got blogging on my N900

I can now blog about things ive seen and done that will benefit my coursework, at present im in a tapas bar drinking a refreshing drink... Nothing to do with my work, but hey, its a start

fighting testing

after deciding to do a trailer for an action film i decided to try out a bit of fight directing, filming and editing, this short clip was filmed in slow motion and then sped up and slowed down in different spaces to create a far more interesting fighting effect. also the use of after effects allowed me to pan whilst editing.

This is the second version of the same clip, i have made a few changes to smooth it out and make it look more realistic, also adding some music to set the mood. the faults with the last one were that the character went out of shot when he was punched, i felt he needed to be in shot to make it a better piece.

Initial Idea

My film will be in the league of such films as layer cake, The Italian Job and, lock stock and two smoking barrels. It will be a film about to drug barons who have made there millions from dealing drugs since they were 16 and liable for their own actions. they keep everything on the clean, until they are offered a new type of drug that they have to literally fight for their lives for. i will use a lot of special effects such as gun shot and green screening.

Brainstorm ...To be continued
