Fiction Adaptation- David

After filming with David he asked me what the best way to advertise him self though the university would be, this lead me to have a conversation with Laura Taylor, Laura is able to advertise David though the course for him.

I had given Laura Davids email and he soon told me that she would help. 

This is what Laura was able to do for David; 

This was posted though out my course and all students can see this and therefore he can get more work within the UCA. 

Fiction Adaptation- Test Shots

This short piece is of the shots that went wrong and some test shots of inside the house. The first few shots that went wrong are those that were when the camera was not configured correctly. They are very pixilated but after we realised Andrei fixed it.

Fiction Adaptation- Shorts

As part of our Workshop with Alex Boorman we need to make a few basic shorts, Happy, sad and Angry. I was in a group of three with Sophie and Aimee. We all came up with ideas and then shot them. Angry was of road rage in which Aimee was acting and Sophie was on camera. Happy was the one I was director and camera man, Sophie was my actor. Aimee did the shots for sad. Aimee edited the pieces together.

I think if we had worked together on the edit it would have been smoother and the over-all working together was a good experience as we all added something to the ideas.

Fiction Adaptation- Essay Feedback

We recently received feedback from the essay draft that we have produced. After receiving the feed back I decided to improve my work by trying to look into more research and improve all the points that Kath has given me.

Digital News- Final Script

As the filming is now finished and we are in the editing stage of the project I have decided to update the final script.

Fiction Adaptation- Script Feedback

After handing in the script last week today we received our feedback today in which we were able to see what we can improve in the script.
The feedback goes along the lines that;

• A well presented and carefully thought out script with some nice shot and action description. 
• Character is well established at the top and the memorial service is nicely paced. 
• My only issue is that the ending feels a bit of an anti-climax - the narrative of the old man's story doesn't seem to go anywhere - this is a shame.
• Would like to see some sort of development and arc to his story - otherwise he is not really adding anything - go back to basics - what does he represent? Make sure this comes through in his story and character. 
•  Otherwise it is tightly scripted piece with a lot of potential - simple but effective. 

My character in the film represents some one who is morning through the years but is not doing so in an open and dramatic way he is playing it down as he is a military man and has been trained for this. I feel like his story is going somewhere but is better seen in the film in the way he changes his clothes in respect and puts the poppy on proudly. 

Fiction Adaptation- Call Sheet House

For the scenes at the house I had toy dress the living room and kitchen, so I had to be there to set up before Mike and David. I had Mike turn up before David as to discuss location, shots and what I needed in the day, Mike was able to provide ideas on how to light and what shots would work. David arrived with a selection of costumes making it easy to change and to make the story.
