WEEK ONE - SAY WHAT?!?!
Wow this weeks been a bit of a doozey!! I'm a bit lost. In Kevin's class we have 2000 things (locations, planning, storyboards, etc)to do but we can't start any of these things until we get our music which we haven't pitched yet, although I am planning my pitch and I think I've been doing quite well ideas wise.
 I havent been able to attend Patrick's class because I have work - dammit new world ;) which for me is a bit gutting - working on sorting this out!!
In the mean time I've been searching for some inspo! I've found this bit really fun, and it actually has helped me expand on my ideas so much! Especially in the sense that I have learnt to think practically about them. For example - I can admire shots and how well the set is laid out, but I've also started thinking about lighting, and the attainability of shots I wish to use in my own film - as in i ether want to do them really well or not at all. I think I will ask Adam to film for me. He has a lot more confidence with cameras than me, he knows a lot more than me and I think I can learn a lot from even just watching him as I direct. Plus, since he is my boyfriend he is easy to communicate with which means that it will be easier for me to portray to him exactly how I want things to look.
The film below is called Perfect Couple by Fozzey and Vanc, this video shows a story incredibly well as each shot seems to match to the lyrics that are being sung at the time.
The reoccurring light bulbs are something that has really stood out to me, maybe something I'll want to recreate? I dont imagine it would be easy though..

This film is called Breezeblocks by Alt J. This film also portrays a story really well - despite being in reverse. The colours of this film are also something I wish to include in my own film. Every aspect of this film interests me and I plan on drawing a lot of inspiration from this film to hopefully help me shape my own.
