Film

We’re working with the script GAZE.

I’m hating this project, working in the group is possibly my worst nightmare.

I struggle with film anyway, and understanding the subtleties that make it, and the disjointed holidays have slowed the momentum further. Haha so far ive found myself getting really mardy everytime I attend a class, despite how helpful and encouraging all the tutors have been, I cant seem to understand my group !?

I reckon this is because none of us fully understand our roles, or have really made the extra effort to sort ourselves out. If I turn up to one more waste of time meet I see it going bad. I hate that I have to tarnish my blog with this.

I’ve gone deadly childish on the entire matter.

I’ve already posted a storyboard, and a character description, the amended script lies with charlotte marshall, and a few notes for the camera angles on Daniel bissills. Cant wait to waste a predicted sunny day getting angry and nothing done on Monday.

The way were interpretating the script is more of a comedy, bit of quirk entering the room. The whole script was gloomy and weird, weve melted it to fit around the idea of a teddy being rejected, playing on something everyone over the age of 12 can relate to, the childhood toy. Hopefully well be able to work together and deliver a non cliché, considered take on it. Voice over, and filming starts first thing next week.

Lately, I think ive pretty much stopped using my blog as personal journal, and just started posting stuff i like. So im hitting the text update.

Since my last post, I've acheived a fair bit, some of it actually relevant to multimedia. I applied for a placement at sport lived, think everyone got an email about it, designed a creative C.V, mainly illustrative with a nice typographical view point to it, and that went pretty good.


I've been struggling with what pathway to embark on next year, ask my mom,shes sick of the topic. I don't understand film, how its art, or the things needed to make one amazing, i think i'm pretty selfish in wanting my idea to be mine as well, but as an option for next year, the fact id struggle with it made it hugely appealing. haha, and it hints at taking me places im more than happy to land at; cbbc and cbeebies, the conceptual side of things, ideas for shows.

animation, as much as i rant i hate it, has some amazing aspects to it, i think i buzz mainly about ideas, and concepts, and dvelopment rather than technical practical side of things, ive recently come to realise. but still i hugely enjoy the planning process, theres so much scope and potential, 3d animation is such a blank canvas, everythings yours. as well as that the planning involves a lot of illustration, which im always harping on about, loved that, and agaaaain the fact it is so frustrating, like a test of yourself. ultimately tho, im walking away with number three i think, as i dunno whether or not id be able to mantain sanity after weeks of rendering and premiere shit pro.

my problem with interactive, is that is so expected of me i think, to apply for graphics, fail and then opt for the most closely related pathway.i came to the course with a completley open mind, and no intention to head towards web, but i think ultimatley, the possibility and new ways of reaching people is fantaaaaaastique. im thinking i can still somehow direct things towards kids, making something, i dunno maybe educational, that goes against the whole problem i have with web, making you intoa reclusive zombie, haha compared to a sociable one. ive got a lot of issues with technology, so maybe hittin that face on, and finding new and innovative ways to make the web engaging, educational, and exciting is the way forward.

gonna shove some of this stuff into the visual essay i reckon. best place for it.

probably gonna post a lot more pictures and typeface designs to sneak this of the first page, haha


I think im pretty sorted these days. some people have been a moanin about stuff, but i think as long as you've got a buzz, youre gonna ace whatever it is youre doing.
