PB4 Rough Cut feedback

We presented our rough cuts today in class and I’m happy to report we had a positive review. The group also had their first look at the project and they seemed pretty satisfied with the result, even if the sound quality wasn’t up to scratch. Now all I need to focus on is adding some coverage via found footage. Also polishing some finer details such as jump cuts, contrast balance consistency and adding titles. Hopefully the group can help me out with the reference list and some background noise and we should be smooth sailing.

Here are some pics of myself engaging and having fun:

What I’m reading – Holiday Edition

It’s mid semester break coming up and the mercury is dropping down to 13 degrees this Thursday. There’s nothing better than staying in on a rainy day reading, except I’ve done so many readings for uni, that I’m going to start looking at picture books (or as nerds call them, graphic novels)

I’m doing a presentation for Intro to Cinema studies on A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (2014, dir. Ana Lily Amirpour) which has been adapted into a comic book, and the illustrations are so skilful and entrancing.

Another book I’m planning on reading is Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (whom you might know from the Bechdel Test, if you don’t, learn this thing before you start writing movies please). The novel has been adapted into a Broadway musical. I’m very excited to read it after glowing recommendations by the guy at Hares and Hyenas.

This fits in well with the most interesting reading we did all semester which was week 2, Editing. Where we were given a look at the gaps between panels as edit cuts. It was a concise look at Story Boarding. I really enjoyed it. First I have to finish Carrie Brownstein’s autobiography though.
