Inspiration continued

I found a few videos on youtube of a HD Timelapse of various landscapes. They are really beautiful to watch. Footage from mockmoon2000 check him out







Amazing footage but the questions for me are:

- How can I incorporate this concept into a documentary?
- Is this even possible within the stoke-on-trent area?

Documentary - Preparation and Inspiration

Here are a few documentaries that have inspired me.

The Lift - Marc Isaacs

Such a simple idea and works really well. The characters are hilarious, tragic, scary and just plain bizarre!



UFC Primetime

This is more or less a hype video for a UFC fight happening next week, but still falls into the documentary category. The production values are inspiring as they really help to show the different approaches to training both of the fighters have.

I like how the documentary "rules" are broken in terms of the framing and character positioning in the interview sections e.g. the characters may be framed to the right and look right as they are being interviewed. I also LOVE the handheld shot of BJ Penn going in and out of focus at the 00.41 mark.



Planet Earth

What more can I say!?

...more to come!

Film finished! ... for now at least

My first drama has finally been completed and assessed. Now all I have to do is sit back and wait for the results!




Next I will be making a documentary and will try my best to record the production on this page.
