FINAL 30 PHOTOS FOR UNIVERSITY

May 192012

As part of my University course I had to do a Photography module. We had the freedom to choose any subject we wanted and submit 30 photos that fit around that subject. I choose street photography. I don’t think I cared about any of my modules as much as I did film drama; since this is what I want to do and went to University to study for in the first place. I have no idea what degree I should expect to get, I m hoping for at least a 2:2 (C) but a 2:1 (B) would be great, guess I’ll just have to find out later next month…not that I feel it matters much in film making what mark I get either way. Here are my final 30 photos -

FILMING LAST WEEKEND IN MANCHESTER

I was on a set the past three days up in Manchester doing Continuity for a short film. It was good to get more experience on a set. I haven’t done continuity on a set for 10 months now since I had lots of University work this year. It’s good to get back into it all and meet new people. The plan is to be able to be a full time freelancer from doing continuity by this time next year.

SCREEN GRABS FROM ANIMATION

Another section of my University course was to make a short stop frame animation film. I was so busy focusing on the drama I have to admit it that I did leave the animation to last minute. It didn’t turn out great, and was rushed in the edit. I’ll probably be having another look at it next week; just a little experiment with stop frame and me.

I enjoyed working with the Stop frame but I would much rather work with real people. I spent most of my time alone in my blacked out room moving monster puppets about, it drove me a little bit insane.

Tao Wignall who also had a part in my drama Feather starred in the short. Some screen grabs from the film can be seen below…

COLOUR CORRECTION

I’ve completed a version of the film for Uni deadlines but I’m still going to be working on Feather this month. The film has been fully colour corrected with After Effects (some examples of the difference this has made can be seen below) I still need to get the sound design sorted and may need more work on the music. All in all I’m going to have a good look over the whole film and get it up to shape and ready for festivals this month…

SORRY FOR MY ABSENCE

I haven’t been online in a very long time. I’ve been trying to get all of my final university work done. The past few weeks where a nightmare rush trying to get everything together for the deadline last Monday (Sunday night I was up until 4am writing the final parts of an essay whilst animating stop motion monsters and trying not to sleep on the keyboard). I have one more exam this Thursday and then I’m done.

No more education.

At least of the programed kind; I guess I have been free to choose which subjects to study over the past 5 years – English Language, Fine art, Film studies in college and then a degree in film and television production. And although I choose to study them on my own accord, they were still organised, often academically boring subjects throughout. Why must you do take an exam to learn?

I guess now I could learn whatever I fancied without the worry of exams, I don’t need to prove anything to anyone else, and maybe I just would like to learn for fun for a change. If that’s even possible

So I’m back and I’m intending to keep fully internet updated as of now. I’ll blog regularly – and try to keep it of informative filmy things…

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY – DIGITAL COLOUR

Photography No Responses »

Apr 122012

I went out to the city yesterday to take some more photos for my photography project. This time I thought I would try taking some in colour. All of my digital photographs have been taken with the Canon EOS mk 2. For my project I have to pick 30 of the best shots out of all of my photos. I’m going to head out next week to get more, you never know what your going to get with street photography some days your more lucky than others.

FEATHER- SHORT FILM POSTER

Feather No Responses »

Apr 102012

My brother Terry Clarke designed this poster for my short film ‘Feather’. I’m so happy with it! I’m currently still in post production with Feather. I’m sending our Music Composer Stu Cowley over the locked footage now for him start working on. The film will be complete for my University Final year production at the end of this month; although I still intended to keep working on it in May with the films premier taking place more than likely around the start of June 2012.
