Filming. Fiction

I did start filming on 17th April i had problems with all my actors not being able to make it so last minuet i gathered some more people to be in my film all went well got a bit of footage but now the person i had asked to help me with the animation side decided to tell me they can no longer do and i am now re-thinking my idea and making it more based an infatuation with Andy Warhol and the shots i have got so far will act like a day dream and visions this wanna be artist has in his head.

At the moment it is hard to try and find time to do everything and its made even harder when i am trying to help the other teams out on their as live productions when no one tells me what is going on, both groups are very stressed and the amount of work we have is very stressful for us.

Fiction,

Due to panicing slightly i have decided to film some back up metrial while i was home for easter, so i have decided to film my little brother taking pictures of his teddies like a photographer, i found directing a child difficult cause all they want to do is play up to the camera but i managed to get some shots but hopefully i wont need to use them.

When i get back to maidstone i need to get in touch with some people  to get a small space to film some shots of my actors using the film factory girl to help me plan what is what and who should be dressed as who.

I also need to get in touch with another actor just in case as a back up which i will be emailing him today.

Over all my fiction is slowly coming together i just need to get in touch with Rio who is doing my drawings just to see how she is getting on with them and see if she needs any help.

Here are some pictures from today.

I did try to incorparat the pet dog as andy warhol did film animals as well as humans but the dog wasnt easy to direct.

Fiction Adaptation

I have booked out a camera for the 19th April till the 22nd April so i can start filming my actors and re-create some andy Warhol scenes and film where he does some screen tests he has done.

I have put an AD out online calling for four actors to be apart of my production this was posted online last night so it should be approved to be visible by the end of the day so hopefully by the end of the week i could pick my actors and and start working with them handing them scripts and things.

As Live

Today i have gotten all my time tables up to date i am still waiting on deadlines from the producers form now till production day, so hopefully i will get them dates soon. Now the plan of action is to keep on top of things and make sure both teams are up to date and are keeping on target with their dead lines.

Location shoot. Workshop

I had missed the lesson with Helen where she had asked us to look at the first chapter from a selection of books the book i picked to do was 1984 by George Orwell, the reason i used this story was because it was a little easier for me to read but was also a challenge still so i picked up on lines and words to help me create the short video i created.

The images i used came from mote park and CCTV from UCA student halls, i also used my friend Jessica Glasspool to pose so i could take a headshot picture and crop out her eyes from that image.

Permission:

Mote Park: Friends of mote park, Unknown management.
The reason i picked this for most of my images was because this park has so much History behind it and the space is wide, but also there is a sense of oldness about it and almost gothic feel with the bare tree's due to the season (winter).

CCTV Cameras: UCA accommodation Office Debby Dickman.
The reason for CCTV cameras was so my audience knew they was being watched and CCTV is everywhere now, The reason for UCA accommodation was just because it was on my doorstep.

Eyes: The person they belong to.
The eyes where added to make my audience feel even more so like they are being watched, so i have the eyes flashing up after every picture.

Music: The music i would have to ask the composer and or the record labile they are part of so in my case it would be Yanns Tiersen.

Overall i found this project quite challenging but over all i tried my hardest to stay true to the parts of the story i picked up on, overall i think i was a little successful but i did like my end product.

Punch lines: Comics

Last night i attended a comedy night in aid to help find a comic to be part of the show punchlines team the lady we saw was amazing she was funny and touched on a lot of topics that is going on with the world at this moment, After her set me, Sam Wilder and James Ogden had a quick chat with her gave her a brief of what we was looking for she was more than happy to pass on a email address and a mobile number and also she gave us a insight what she is up to and when she was busy.

Fiction-

After speaking to some one who does GC Arts and Animation course at UCA and they said what i wanted would take too long so my idea has to change slightly i am now going to have to do multiple layering and mix in a little bit of animation with real video that i will film myself based on the film factory girl.

The story looks a bit into Andy Warhol.
