as I bought it




>Your video will be up to two minutes long, and will contain no fire, smoke or apparent device to show actual flames or related 'material'.
>It will contain no direct images of people, but deal with a dynamic process and narrative poetic notion.
>Your film will be a consturcted scenario that allows you to simulate events and reactions. It can be a series of still images, a series of interconnected scenes, a montage of video and/or audio.
>You may use text, but it must be graphical or notional rather than descriptive.
>You will be working in groups of three students and you will be tutored by two tutors (similar to the model Project)
Monday we had lectures by various architects making film and film makers for inspiration. So far we have a main idea and we've shot about half of the scenes, will write about our project (or maybe even upload the film itself when it's done!) later.
Since my days have changed a bit since last time i blogged, when I was doing the foundation at London Met., this is my plan to day, and will probably be a quite typical friday in my life.
At school 8.15, having some extra time to finish off my essay before meeting my film group at 10. Importing what we shot yesterday evening to Premium, a film editing program, so it's ready to show our turors when we're meeting them for a tutorial at 11.30. At 12 I'm finishing off the technical studies - going through everyones pages to make sure there are no spelling mistakes and that the layout looks ok, then printing it and getting it bound so it's ready to hand in by 4 o'clock this afternoon. Will probably have to do more work on my essay before 4 too. after that we'll be working on the film - we have some close-up day shots to do - so we can start editing and working on the sound this weekend and monday. In between there I'm meeting a friend for a quick coffee down at a cafe in Charing Cross Road at 5, but will probably stay at school until late. Might get a bit more social and less productive at the end of the day as there's an exhibition opening at 6.30 which always means lots of people and free wine. Won't be a late night though - I need to do some laundry tonight and be up to leave for work at 6.30 tomorrow morning.
