After finishing off Pipe Dream and screening it I have to say I am rather happy with the response it has got. I knew from the first day of Film/TV1 that I wanted to do something fun, light and comedic, which is why I had really enjoyed filming and editing Pipe Dream. I think we [...]

The Screening

Thought I would make a quick blog post in regards to the screening. It is currently 3am…I am a little bit pissed and fairly tired so this may be quite incomprehensible, but apart from that- I am actually doing it, which is the main thing. The reason why I am doing it at 3am? Because [...]

This week in Film/TV1 we are focusing on editing. As I am already quite experienced in editing, I will refrain from discussing the basics (Sorry for those who want some information regarding the basics of editing, but I can re-direct you to YouTube- simply type in “Final Cut Pro- Basic Editing” into the search bar).

09 Frame Rate Conversion

One of the things I will constantly hate myself for and consistently regret throughout the editing procedure for my short film, “Hal Jay Thames, Musician Extraordinaire” is the fact that I had accidentally shot a couple of the scenes in 30fps. A whole SEVEN minutes of the film. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! So how [...]

08 Lighting with Mr. Ritchard

I wanted to do a post regarding the tutorial that we had last week (still being week Eight) about lighting. It was a really insightful tutorial that gave me a lot of information in regards to different lighting set-ups and techniques involved in lighting what is in your frame to create the perfect shot.
