short film

My idea for short animation film is to shoot a "Day in the life of a friend" drumming, waking up, eating etc. i feel like this would be a great idea as they are not very well known yet and it will help him to gain a little more popularity. I have come to the conclusion that a five minute film trailer would be very difficult to film in a short time span of a week as it includes editing, sound effects and 4 specific locations.

 I will still keep the same theme as i had with my original idea which was to keep the colour palette very neutral. for example:
  • pastel colours
  • keep the contrast very low   
  • film indoors (preferably with natural light seeping in)
I would prefer to do it in the daytime so that i do not have to use any artificial lighting. i would also like my friend to be wearing bright colours so that they would stand out within the neutral colours. I will use bursts on my IPHONE to make an effective animation. I also want it to be from my point of view. The music will be sad yet up beat.

Prop list:
  • drum kit
  • food
  • bed
  • coffee
  • headphones 
  • clothes
My short film will start with my friend waking up (opening their eyes). The shot will be a birds eye view perspective then it will turn into my perspective. The film is titled "How to be a good friend"

evaluation

Overall  I was very proud of my lookbook, I feel like my skills on photoshop and InDesign have improved a lot. In terms of improvement, I could've taken a photo that incorporated all aspects of the magazine and focused more on how it would have matched the colour scheme. If I were to do this project again I would have probably painted the front cover with either acrylic or oils to draw attention, I would have wanted to show how it was unique just by looking at the cover.  The overall time it took to complete each look book page was approximately 2-4 hours due to the amount of correcting and editing I had to do. If I had to re-construct my lookbook I would have made my design less complicated. Also, I would have used more models to add more diversity to the magazine. The Text on pace two could have been slightly darker as you cannot read most of it due to the colour of the background. As far as improvement is concerned, The portrait pictures could be of better quality and c...

Many A Moon: foley, Cinematography etc.

Foley: I didn't get to record Foley for my short film as there were no harsh sounds that needed emphasising as I had a on-cam mic attached. If I had I would have emphasised the sounds of the chair and the felt tip against white board. Cinematography: I picked a space In the collage that had filtered sun light seeping through into the room which in the end created a more eery atmosphere. I ended up tinting the film a very dark blue colour. List of sounds: These are the list of sounds that I wanted to include in my film footsteps coming up to the doctors office - Getting someone to walk across wooden floorboards leaves rustling in the forest - rustle the branches wind blowing - Go record this near a river  door opening and closing - Hold the mic really close to the door hinges and open the door  pen on whiteboard - Hold the mic really close to the felt tip dragging across the board.

annotated scripts

Image
Down bellow is my annotated script. I had to make a fair few adjustments due to location changes and difficulties. I could not shoot the final scene as my location and cast were not avalible. Also I could not get hold on the correct costumes that were necessary. However my cast members did improvise the scene were the doctor is explaining the symptoms to Cedric to make it into the time bracket.
