what a documentary...or should I say ROCKUMENTARY!!

I just watched Anvil, a documentary about a Heavy metal rock band that started off 30 years ago and got nowhere.

As heavy metal goes, im not a fan at all. But this film was amazing! it had great music during the scenes when it mattered, great shots and most of all the story of the band was great.

Really recomend it!

House



I just watched the new episode of House and realised how they used light to show a flashback or in that case, inside House's mind.

Every light or reflection of light was really bright and glared across the screen. It was a really good way of showing that what was happening wasnt happening at that exact point and was a recollection of what had already happened.

Update

I havent been on this is ages and therefore have not written about all that gone on in the past few weeks.

So the film is now finally done...after 4 attempts. I'm just finishing editing it and it looks good, the sound has come out better than expected but of course there is a a lot that i don't like and need to get rid of. We all worked really well as a group and there were only three of us which meant that we all had two jobs each. It was a bit more work but 100% worth it.

Now I'm starting my 3D lair, which i have decided to not make a "secret lair" but just a lair. My inspiration has come from a film i just saw a few weeks ago, Centurion.

The film was about a Roman Legion and there were many scenes inside big tents with elaborate furniture and weapons scattered around. It really interested me so i decided to base my lair on that.

I have also spent a lot of time on my Visual Essay which im not so cinfident about. I think i have included too much writting and completly missed the whole point. However i like it and think that it shows what i really do enjoy about my chosen path way...its a work in progress.
