Here it is, my short film for Project 5 is finally finished.
Later on I’ll add it to my website and to vimeo, but for now, I’ve finished my project 5 page with an evaluation of how the production went, so go there if you want to know how it all went down.
Seeing I’ve been slow to edit this project, I’m going to set a deadline for myself to get it edited and completed, I’m aiming to get if finished over the weekend so I’m setting the deadline to Monday the 1st of September
This is pretty much a personal reminder, and hopefully after this I can do a mid project review with Mr Chapman, I’m pretty confident with it so far and I don’t think I’ll have to redo it, so it should all be done by Monday hopefully
As of Thursday the 14th, we have finished filming our project, from this point we have to start editing our video.
We are unsure thus far, if it’ll be easy to edit it at school, as well as on my desktop at home, and transfer the files in between, or if I should just edit it on my desktop or laptop.
I’m thinking it’ll be easier to edit on my desktop, but that leaves we with a lack of things to do during class, and it also depends on how much homework I have to do each night.
Chosen Title: Alone in Monochrome
The next period I have with Jules is on Wednesday is Period 3, So I plan to get our short film filmed during that period.
On Friday I finished writing the script and shot list for Project 5, and as of today, my project partner Jules Chilcott has approved of the script, and now all that’s needed is Mr. Chapman’s approval (hence me posting this.)

I’m using this as guide of how to structure my shot list: http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/how-tos/becoming-a-professional-photographer/pre-production-how-to-create-a-shot-list.html
I’m using this as a guide of how to write my script: http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Script http://www.writersstore.com/how-to-write-a-screenplay-a-guide-to-scriptwriting/
I’m using this as a guide to structure my shots/angles: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/shots/ http://portals.studentnet.edu.au/literacy/minisites/sceggsdarlinghurstrevised/vliteracy/angles.htm http://bit.ly/M3ygI0 http://bit.ly/1sGUhMA (the bit.ly links are good for angles) as well as using a booklet on camera shots and angles I received in English that is accurate
I’m essentially using these guides as a refresher on how to write scripts and shot lists properly, with the shot list I’m doing a table style layout, and with the Script, I’m doing to proper font layout with Courier New Size 12, as well as looking at my old script to see how that was properly laid out (as I’ve been taught to in Media anyway)
The ECU Website didn’t seem to indicate any specific requirements, so I’ve decided that I’ll construct what I need to do next in my portfolio based on the Murdoch requirements.
I’m still keeping project 5 as my short film project, and I plan to do another video next year, so I’ll have 3 videos to submit to my portfolio at least. The films can’t exceed 15 minutes, I’m assuming they say this so they can look through applicants efficiently.
They ask for 20 creative and artistic photographs to be submitted into the portfolio, so for project 6 I’m going to do a photography project to be submitted.
Although I have examples of film analysis from my 2AB English course, unless they specifically ask for it to be from English, I thought of doing an in-depth analysis on TV show or movie for one of my projects. I’ve always been marked fairly well with my analysis assignments, and I’m very passionate about doing them, so I have the motivation to get them done. One show I think I could analyze is Breaking Bad, as it has lots of symbolism and foreshadowing from the get-go.
Considering I E-mailed this in last term, but forgot to blog about, I decided now would be a good time to drop the links of the teaser:
After complications with the pre-production portion of the Reality TV Teaser assignment,
We have finally figured out a date to shoot our teaser
