FMP Revised Storyboards

I had to redraw the storyboards in accordance with the new script. I must say that it feels a lot better now than simply working with what I already had. I'll be able to direct my cast a lot more easily on Monday now. Phew...my hand hurts from all that sketching.

Exploration MARS: Photos

Today was long but fun as I travelled all the way to Lewisham with some fellow Rave students to carry out a photoshoot. Even though we used a cheap camera (mine to be specific) we got some pretty awesome results which hopefully our editor over in the Graphics pathway can modify to a higher standard.

Exploration MARS: One Week Rave Project

In a group of four we have collaborated our ideas together to create something new. Based on my theme of domestic violence and a Graphics student's themes on feminism and discrimination, my group has come up with the idea of abuse towards men, which is not very common but that makes it very interesting to work with. Our final outcomes will be a series of photos, although that is subject to change over time.

FMP: Filming Commences

This afternoon I gathered with all the actors I needed. It turns out that Monday is the only day that they're all free at the same time, and I've got a friend who can supply us with a great location. I cannot start this Monday unfortunately because said friend is having a guest round on the 11th and it wouldn't be great for them. Therefore filming will commence on the 18th, and from there I will constantly carry out that, post-production and lecturer reviews on and on until I am satisfied with my outcome.

Further Sound Editing Practice

Yesterday afternoon I went out for a walk and recorded some train sounds from underneath a bridge. This morning I tried editing out any unwanted sounds such as wind, birds and pedestrians walking along. I don't think they're all that great to be honest, and if I have another chance I may carry out further research before setting off to record outdoor noises. That way I'll have a greater sense of what my surrounding conditions will be like.

FMP Progress: Actors Sorted

Whenever it seems like all hope is lost...

...a fifth and final actor comes along and saves the day! Yeah! Woo!

Now we all just need to meet up somewhere and discuss where would be a great location.

It's Time I Got Serious!

Time is running out!

If there are no other people who are willing to act in my film by Friday 8th April, then I will work with what I have. I have 4 actors already and I think that I can rewrite the script in accordance with this limitation. Here's hoping....
