first brief of the year. Every Day Activity.

we had to make a short film with the maximum running time of 5 minutes.

My film was about a young girl and her xl Bully dog called Gunner. The xl bully ban had recently come into effect and I wanted to show how wearing a muzzle effected Gunner.

once Gunner leaves the house you can see the effects it has on him some times refusing to walk and other times trying to pull a head to get his walk over with because the dog dose not feel secure or able to defend himself. As the walk continues Gunner starts to relax as he realises there is no danger to him from other dogs or people.

Second brief: Documentary film.

From The Mud

we had to make a documentary. mine was a fly on the wall style documentary which followed a small group of actors called From The Mud as they rehearsed and performed live a Christmas show at the Front Room theatre in Weston-super-mare.

The documentary was to give a little history about the front room theatre and to show how From The Mud transformed into a live show, interviews were held with the Co Director and cast members.

Unfortunately I had to remove most of the rehearsals as the troop didn’t want me giving away to many of their trade secrets.

We were due to shoot a short film in Germany but was cancelled due to the lack of numbers. So we made our short film in Uphill UK.

Barrow Curse is a short film about a group of young people going on a camping trip, they are warned about the dangers of camping at uphill but ignore the barman’s ominous warnings.

The film was shot at the dolphin pub and uphill nature reserve.

My job on this shoot was Assistant camera man where I had to make sure the Director of photography had all the right equipment and to set the camera up ready for shooting I did manage to take the final shot of the short film as the Dop was struggling to get the camera exposure light enough to be able to see anything due to the failing light and time of day.

I was also responsible for Props and recce reports of both shooting sites.

Full film: Water, Nature, Sun Moon and Stars.

An epic journey that takes you from under the water to the sun stars and moon.
