Blogger isn't letting me upload photos for some reason which is annoying.

In our Outside the Box lecture, we watched a film called Baraka by Ron Fricke. This film was 104 minutes and was all done using the photographing time lapse technique I am using for my film. I for one could not keep full concentration throughout this film (as it was far too long) dispite the fact the cinematography and the use of the technique was masterful. 

The final sequence in the film is of the stars. I did some research and found out that Ron Fricke had specially designed equipment for this shoot enabling him to move the camera whilst it was timelapsing. The result is AMAZING and would be far out of my budget to achieve a similar effect. The shoot around 1:10 is really inspiring.

As good as this is in terms of cinematography, I don't believe it is necessary to have so much movement from the camera.

At the moment, I am looking into creating moving star trails and have had a bit of help from this guy.



I hope to have a test shoot tomorrow in which I can try creating a video with a smooth star time lapse and also enough photos to create a star trail time lapse.

At the moment I am developing shot ideas and structure to my documentary, as well as finding music influences.
