FILM: The Disturbance ROLE: Writer and Director. This weeks film was to do with sound scape, so our restrictions had us not being able to use the sound captured through the camera, how we would normally do it with a boom pole and also no dialogue was aloud. The sound design had to be capturedContinue reading “Week 5, Aaron Lyttle”

FILM: Persona Reenactment. ROLE: Sound. For this weeks project we had to mimic a scene from the movie Persona. I had done acting in the previous two weeks so now was finally my opportunity to get behind the camera and choose a role. Ultimately I decided to go for the role of Sound technician orContinue reading “Week 4, Aaron Lyttle”

For these weeks, that unfortunately didn’t get to happen as planned due to circumstances outside of our control, I had the planned roles of Editor for the British Realism task and Producer/Actor for our final film. We had already begun to plan both films before being told to skip to the final, and then ultimatelyContinue reading “Weeks 7 & 8 – Juliette”

Welcome to week 6. This week was on Dialectical Montage, a style of editing, using second photography footage. For this short film, I had the role of the Lighting technician. My job was mainly on the filming day; illuminate the set. I strictly worked with the cinematographer and director. In movies, lights need to haveContinue reading “Week 6, Lighting Technician (Daniele)”

This week the exercise was centred on sound. The task was to make a video using sounds recorded separately with a Tascam and sound effects. The main point of this exercise was to explore one of the fundamental roles in film production, the sound designer.

The pressure of letting others down while you try a role you are less sure of or don’t have much experience with building overContinue reading “Week 6: Juliette”

Welcome to week 4, welcome to a black and white video (black and white not like our first video but because of the colour grading). The task for this week was to recreate the scene from Persona (1966) being careful with directing and lighting, being meticulous with planning the shots and the mese-en-scѐne. This weekContinue reading “WEEK 4 – Directing (Daniele)”

Welcome back to the blog. This week the exercise was on Mise-en-Scѐne (putting in the scene), one of the most important things in movies. Even this week we had some conditions for both story and filming. The story should be based on someone that takes unfair advantage of temporary absence (in our case the manContinue reading “ACTING- THE HYPNOTIST (DANIELE)”

The exercise for this week was to produce a short film with no dialogue. The aim was to tell a story using just visual elements and sound effects, no dialogue allowed. What’s more, we had some limitations. First, a limitation on the story; it should be a Pickpocket, The chase or Late again. Other limitationsContinue reading “CINEMATOGRAPHY (DANIELE)”

FILMS: Desperate Measures & Highly Recommended. ROLES: Acting. Ah yes, the beginning of something beautiful. This was the first time we had been in a group together and it was really an experiment of getting used to each other while at the same time getting to know each others personalities and quirks during our firstContinue reading “Weeks 2& 3, Aaron Lyttle”
