Film Project Two: Final Reflection
In Film Project Two I was able to apply my skills but also learn a great deal from the process. Heading into film project two I really wanted to make a more creative experimental short film. My original pitch was going to be similar to virtual reality where a character would either put on a […]
Film Festivals
We are nearing the end semester and therefore nearly finished the final cut of film project two – Sentiment. It is recommended that we research festival and platform research for the exhibition of your film work. While we probably won’t be submitting our film anywhere, it is a good chance to see what else is […]
Sound Design
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) not only has great cinematography but an intricate sound design. One particular scene that I will be looking at is when Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) makes the difficult decision to leave his family behind and head off into space in order to find a new habitable planet.

Again, both of us were directing the production and this ensured that we captured our shots effectively and gave each other feedback and decide on how it can be improved upon to get the best possible effect. I managed to get […]
Production Day #1
Our first production day went really well. Kay was able to film some of the home scenes beforehand. Our main filming location was at Port Melbourne Beach. Both of us had a clear idea of how we wanted our film to look and collaboratively planned many of the shots in pre-production, it meant our first […]
Pre-Production: Character + Location
The production has been really organised. Our main character will be a girl who after an accident begins to lose her hearing. There is no dialogue and we were lucky to find an actor who can dance and portray the strong emotions in the film really well. We have organised the days that we will […]
Inspiration – The Tree of Life
This will be one of my inspirations heading into our final project. We want our shots to be visually interesting and propel the story forward for the audience. Since there is no dialogue we will need to really think carefully about our shot choices and why. What is the certain framing or angle telling the […]
