im back - CDV 102

Sorry for the long absence, I've been quite busy with doing other things... obviously.
Anyways, I'm here now and ready to chat about my next two films :D. A lot has happened since last time and a lot of thoughts have developed and I'm pretty sure i know what I'm doing now (sorry for the excessive use of the work 'and').

The other day i was coming up with an idea for my short one minute film and i came up with the idea to do a sci-fi. It's about a man who is a war veteran and hero and he tell us his story of how he got out of a deserted waste land on a distant planet.
This was quite a random idea. i came up with it by writing all the themes of my initial idea for my four minute film and then expanding on them. I used the theme of 'space and the universe' for this idea.

After coming up with this idea, i then decided to switch the films arround, making the sci-fi the 4 minute long film and the abstract film the 1 minute film. I recon it'l work better like this, plus i get to write a monologue without having to find someone who can act properly. i usually try to avoid dialogue because i dont want to waste a script on bad actors (not to sound snobbish).

Just in case I didnt mention before, my initial 4 min' film (now my 1-2 min film) is going to be an abstract polemic film which will try to show opposites to be unrelevent in time and space (kind of thing).

...

Right, I haven't bee on here for a while but that may change lol. I have decided, to make this easier when I'm done, to put the module cose at the end of the titles so that it's easier to group at the end of each module. Just thought I'd mention that :D

FINALLY!!

All of term one's work has been finished and haded in :D wwaaaahhooooooo! couldnt be happier, or tireder!
now i can finally concentrait on my next film.

Sooo...

Yeh so I went Exmouth this morning. It was ok, bloody freezing though. Helped my little sis out with her project and I also got some decent footage of the ocean. I think I got what I need though I can't be sure because I haven't yet decided on what exactly I'm doing.

Had a propper ruff night last night, but it was alright I guess. It's weird how you always want to do work when your ill or something. I reckon I'l try and do a little anyway. My sis is going down to exmouth tomorro for a photography project so I think I might join her and get a bit of footage of the sea and stuff. I haven't yet planned my film, but it's going to be getting at large concepts and whats much bugger than the sea?

Creepy!

This is another David Lynch flim called Alphabet. I thought I'd check out some more of his stuff and came accross this on youtube. I like the kind of doodle animation, might try it out, also some of its is very creepy and weird.

progress? a bit...

i think im going to do a montage for my next project.
its just been going round in my head, loads of little ideas that i cant put my finger on. iv started trying to put ideas on paper now and so soon they should unravel into creative masterpieces :D
im also thinking about maybe timing each clip to 'enhance' the atmosphere. e.g start with slow, long clips and gradually speed them up to shorter, fast paced clips. to build tension.
still dont know what im doing tho =/
