I have leant a lot there's last 2 years studying FDA Media and Arts Production (Degree). I have developed my skill for be coming a Film maker and Animator at University.
I have also leant how to work with clients, work as team and even working on my own.
For example I have worked with DJ Jack Hill the Youngest DJ, as a group everyone pulled together to make a Music Video, after filming the Music Video it put my self forwards to edit the project and in doing so I got to work with DJ Jack Hill.
A few people in my group filmed a film for someones leaving do, the edit was passed onto me, the edit was prritty strate forwards, putting the clips in the right order, editing the interviews and everyone got awarded for helping out.
My A Day in a Life of a Mannequin film was interesting, beasues it was all done by me and no one else. I filmed, directed, acted, animated and edited every think by my self. The film took around 2-3 months to make (that was only becasue of how long the animation look and editing), the feedback from my friends, family and teachers was fantastic! They all loved the film, because of how one person (me), could make a film with no one else involved and it was funny to some.
One of the best film I made was called: Enter the Video Game World Why?.. Because I used all of my skills from media, animation and photoshop, in whitch create a film where someone enters into a classic video game!
The only help I had in this film was from a class mate, he look photos of my and filmed me against a green screen. The scenes filmed in my flat I filmed (start & end), the part were I walk into the castle, my class mate filmed and apart from that I did every thing else.
My final major project film - The Masked Man, came out a lot different to how it was originally going to be and was a lot better than I had thought. The original idea for the film was to be about Slender Man, but instead the film turned into a Film Noir, B movie and a victim stalker.
The idea was always changing becoming different from the Slender Man idea, the final changes came after meeting with my actors, because they suggested different things that could make the film better, taking those ideas into account, I changed some aspects of the film.
I filmed the film using my small Sanyo camera, filming on the day was interesting, because of the wet raining weather, my actor didn't mind, they were happy to act and I was happy to film. I was delighted with the skill of the acting, they showed on location and how brilliant the acting was in the finished film.
The only problems we encountered on the day, was during the start of some scenes my Sanyo camera would wouldn't turn on, or would turn off. But that was only for a few seconds, it was because of how cold the weather was. The other problem we encountered, was when filming the last two scenes of the film, the camera battery died on us, but I pulled out my my iphone and we filmed the last two scenes.
I have also filmed a charity event in that was hosted by a group of music students and there teachers where there as support. There was two of us filming at this event me and Nick, we had three cameras, two cameras on tripods that Nick was in charge of them and I was in charge of the other camera. I was getting close up and mid shots and the other cameras where getting Full shot from different angles.
The Dirigo film festival animated logo was done by me, I was given a the Dirigo logo and asked to animate it. I did what was asked of me, everybody was pleased with the finished product and so was I in the end.
