'Soft' speech pitch

Here is my speed pitch for the 'Soft' short film. I went through several ideas of what I could use for it and the one central line in all my drafts and the final pitch was 'Who will stand up for themselves?'.

Here is my speed pitch:
A father and son are attacked separately by teens. Will the father defend his son, or will the son fight back on his own?

    The pitch works well. Its simple and to the point, posing the key question of the story dilemma. Well done.

Dungeness - location project

Image
On Thursday, our class went to Dungeness for a day location project. For our pre-production phase on Monday, we went into groups of three (I was with Alyssa and Katie) and were instructed to write a 2/3 page script which we could film at Dungeness (Thursday) and then edit today (Friday) for screening on Monday in front of the class. After looking up Dungeness on Google Maps for location inspiration, we found two key areas we wanted to use.  The abandoned shed (left) and the beach front (right). These two areas gave us the inspiration for our script, which was about two friends who has returned to the beach where their friend had died. The beach front represents where the friend died and the shed represents where they used to hang out as a trio. Myself and Alyssa chose to be the two character on-screen, while Katie was our narrator and third character in the occasional shot. As there is no dialogue in our script (instead we have a voice-over from the narrator), we relied on

Year 3, pre-production - Camera workshop

In our first workshop of the year, we were given the chance to work with the new Sony A7 cameras and test them out, as well as see how to work them. Unfortunately the file size is too big, possible because I my have been recording for too long, but in this  recording test I did which had the focus adjusted so Sam and Logan where the focus (sharpest) images, while the tables and background were slightly blurred to given more attention to the two of them. It was a lot of fun to test these cameras out, as well seeing the quality they have compared to the other cameras we have previously used, as well as tis, we also learn't that they have capabilities for slow motion and low light, which can look incredible when done right.

Richard Grannon interview and transcript

Image
For the first interview of our documentary, we interviewed Rochard Grannon who runs 'Spartan Life Coach', Richard is an 'NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) master practitioner, is passionate about helping people defend themselves, get back on their feet and finally free themselves from narcissistic abuse'. He also focuses on social media and aspects of it alongside social media. We choose Richard for this interview as we felt we could get two elements of both mental health and social media in one. We interviewed him on the 5th of May for roughly twenty minutes exploring how social media can affect mental health and how it has affected our society as a whole. Below is the interview video from that day. For transcribing his interview, I played through his interview many many times in order to write down his answers to every question Aodhan asked. Below is the link to the interview transcript:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ciFq6nMqdTa_qTRSy0uY4tUjOYzylh8mn2AD8
