Two Chairs

-

Fergus' workshop this week consisted of the morning in the TV studio learning all about the spaces we have available to us, whilst also working on a project using a very simple yet open brief, which must show a route to a chair. So we came up with showing a serious set of two people, set in a classic film style of shooting, whilst also utilising the 4k cameras of the current time. I didn't want to overly complicate it due to the time in which we were given to edit wasn't sufficient enough for substantial masterpieces. However, I felt as though I ended up with an outcome that will suffice for the day. Also working in a studio space used by professionals was almost like a dream come true, despite our shoot certainly not being the most professional thing shot there.

Script Analysis (An Unearthly Child)

  The pilot of my favorite TV show ever made, the original script from 1963, Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child. This script has some interesting elements to it, especially the fact that there are elements that carry over to modern-day scripts as well.  Due to this script's age as well, there is a running schedule that sets what is going to happen across the day. This includes the crew's whole day and the fact that it takes all day before filming begins. A full twelve-hour shift is put in before the shoot begins, only for the whole thing to be shot over an hour and fifteen minutes. There is also the fact that all the technology needed for the episode was put into the script, which is very interesting considering nowadays these would be separate documents, however, it makes a lot of sense considering this is a document likely given to all cast and crew before filming. This is the character and cast list for this particular episode, the main characters are in order downward, an...

The Script Writing Process

  First Draft The first day I began scriptwriting was certainly interesting. Not knowing each specific word I was going to put in or how I would get to my end goal verbally or via actions. I usually like to outline my story with imagery and storyboards, but I have to work with an in-head situation and it makes it worse because I don't have any real sense of direction.  The script is looking nice after the first day though. Having used Celtx before, I felt instantly ready to begin script writing, however, I have learned some new skills that could only amplify the way in which my stories were told. For example: I have learned the ways in which I should write a location header when it comes to the scripts. Firstly the INT. basically establishes whether or not the location is indoors or outdoors. For something like an appointment room this may seem fairly blatant, however, there may be something like a basketball court that would work both inside and out. Following is the appointm...

Group Presentation

  This is my part of what I had originally planned to contribute to the project's pre-production phase as well as my intent with production. Unfortunately, none of the envisionings that I had came to fruition in production, however, the majority of my pre-production work did go ahead. The intent here was to not recreate the scene but to reinterpret it. My plan was to adapt the scene from words instead of watching a scene and basing it on that. The idea behind doing it this way came from my personal distaste of movies and not having seen John Wick before. However, I didn't want to completely divulge from the original source material, as the second point says. In my eyes, it's about familiarity mixed with distinction to create that perfect blend of originality. I am also a big believer in the concept that not every idea has been created and there is still room for new innovation, which is exactly the idea that I had within my head from start to finish. The next one comes from...
