22nd April

Starting coursework! I am just getting to grips with the blog format and setting up.

This is where I will be documenting what I am doing day to day for my blog.

23rd April

Today we did training, specifically screenplay training, storyboard training, editing training and camera training. The screenplay and storyboard training were most useful because I have decided to do a screenplay for my coursework.

The camera and editing training was still useful as they gave more of an insight into the making of a film.

3rd May

At the moment I am just starting to set up my blog, all the different blog posts and the layout etc. I am really liking this blog format so far, its very easy to use and effective. I think I will do well working on this blog!

4th May

I am starting to type up my initial ideas, I will have to solidify them in the future.

5th May

Over this week I will be doing my short film analysis. The films I have chosen are Curfew- 19 mins, Wasp- 25 mins, The Wrong Trousers- 30 mins and When the Day Breaks- 9 mins. Total running time is approx 83 mins.

Having watched these films I feel more confident in the simplicity of my ideas and that they don’t have to be super elaborate.

Still finalising my short film analysis and making little changes.
