Fiction Adaptation - Joy - Experimental Films

-
For the past week we were set a task to create a short movie that describes one of our chosen moods. I chose 'JOY' i think it was a great mood and could emphasise a lot! I was trying to experiment more with handheld footage rather than using any rigs because that's what i will be doing in my own fiction adaptation movie. Handheld clips really make the movie look realistic and the audience feels like they are with the characters.

I also used the dolley/tracker to also experiment with those kind of shots but i did not like them as much. I also used a fig rig but once again it's not something i personally like to use! I tried to learn how to complete a zoom in and zoom out shot but the room being too much and didn't have much of nice atmosphere it did not look pleasant. Since i was a little late on this project i did not have all the equipment on hand but i still tried to use everything i could to make this project look great.

 While filming i think using the white wall looked best, i also decided to use some LED lighting to make sure that the people facing the camera are well light and the audience can see. I was also struggling to think of what i could film, it's not as easy as many people think. I struggled getting much footage as i could not think of any actions. Setting the task really showed me that it's not easy to film a 2 minute video about 'JOY' it is one of the hardest tasks i've been set. Overall i enjoyed filming it with the help of Jason and Oli. Will and Katie also stepped in to help me think of some cover shots i could include.



While editing this i choose some very happy background music that really sets the scene for the whole project. I did not really want to overdo with crazy effects as i wanted to keep this plain and simple so the audience understands what is happening. I adjusted the brightness and contrast as well as doing some simple colour grading. I feel like overall it turned out Fine but there is much more that i could have improved on this.

Fiction Adaptation - Trespass - John Clare research

-

While coming up with my proposal i really wanted to discover more about John Clare. John was born in 1793 and was a very famous poet, he was born as the son of a farm labourer and did not have much money. Many individuals state that Clare is 'the greatest labouring class poet that England has ever produced' since he came from a very poor background. While reading up on his background it was very hard, he had a troubled childhood and was also sent to an asylum where he had written most of his poems. I chose the Trespass poem due to me really having a strong connection to it. I feel as John Clare felt a lot of loneliness and pain during the time that this poem was written. The sonnet has rhyming couplets and seems less angry even though it is in-fact very sad. Clare really felt despair and pain while this poem was written. Clare was born into a middle class family and felt as he wanted to express these feelings within his other poems. I couldn't really find any informati...

Fashion Fails – Internet Shopping Websites I have actually experiences these issues in the past with ‘Online Shopping’ you can never be sure if what you order is what you will actually get. I have researched a few websites that have this issue and how could we possibly stop them? The first website that has caught my eye is ‘Zaful’ . This online store describes itself as ‘Trendy women’s fashion’ it started off with just bikini sales but developed into clothing also – I have noticed this online store getting more and more attention due to Youtuber sponsorships, Zaful sent Bikinis and clothing for free to popular Youtubers to review them. This is where some of their stuff really came differently to what was show online. Most of their bikinis are VERY small when ordered in a Medium or Small, ‘It would fit a child’ one Youtuber mentioned while reviewing the clothing off the site. You cannot tell a lot from their pictures either, there is no description of mate...

A Series Of Unfortunate Events - Contextual Research

A Series Of Unfortunate Events I have recently been loving quite a lot of Netflix original series. I have realised now that in this century awe can pretty much watch absolutely everything on the go, Netflix is one of the most popular online platform where people can watch brilliant TV series and historical films where ever they are and on any device. Which makes Netflix even more profitable to create amazing series such as 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. This TV series was inspired by the popular 2004 film directed by Brad Silberling, and also the most popular best selling book series written by Lemony Snicket's.  The books began in 1999 followed by the major blockbuster film release in 2004, this really made audiences want more since nothing was made after the film, until now 2017 where we have been given a brilliant Netflix original tv series. The series took a different turn compared to the film, of course this could be mostly due to having a bigger bu...
