We have now started to prepare for our last unit of the second year 'Transitions' and i am very excited. Transitions is supposed to prepare us for the third year and really make us focus on our own roles as Directors, Vision mixers, Camera Op's etc. I have a passion for Directing and i really wanted to create something fantastic but i didn't manage to find a group. Until i had my meeting with Simon he had told me that i would struggle a little bit by myself because this unit is particularly difficult in solos, he told me that Conor, Amiee, and Laura were looking for a Director and quickly i got attached to their group and idea of shooting 'Riverdale'.
Riverdale has blown up all over the world, the beautiful camera work and cinematography really makes it stand out. We were also thinking of doing 13 reasons why but it is very darl, we are thinking of doing this exact scene from where Cheryl and Jason drive to sweet water river. I had a look on Mandy.com and found many actors who have similar features and looks that would really work well.
Laura had told us that she would really enjoy filming this due to the camera positions and shots, it is very interesting and would test all of our skills.
I was also thinking of posibbly working on 'The series of unfortunate events' i love the way that this series was shot, especially with the colour scheme and sound. The setting was also so interesting, the props and talent.
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
Today we had a very exciting workshop with Del, it was our first go at working in a real Studio Production atmosphere. We all had a go at different jobs such as Floor Managin, Sound, Directing, VT, Talent etc. We also had a go at playing around in the gallery and seeing what it takes to be a vocal Director. We all had a go and realised that when we go live all of us tone our voices down and really start to focus very strongly on what to say and what shot to play live. I had so much fun during this workshop but found out that most of the jobs are very difficult! Escpecially my own, being a floor manager comes with many different responsibilities. I realised that i had to really nail my 'Floor Manager' hand signals. I also found it difficult to manage the talent, Del told me that i had to be nexto each camera when live so that the talent can look at you and the correct camera. Me and George both decided to take care of one talent each - i would be in charge of Adeline and Georg
