Ever Changing Aesthetics.

Now I don't know if there are any returning readers or prospective returning readers at the moment, but even if you're a one timer and feel like something my, in the future, for whatever reason urge you to return back to this land of filmic babble mixed in with a splash of that, and a splash of this. BUT ... I feel I should warn people anyway that as I am rather indecisive with certain things, you may see this website change quite a lot, whether it's in style or name, or content, because I'm just that darn cool that making up my mind is impossible! I will however try my best to keep some kind of continuous style so I don't make people think they've wondered onto a completely different blog...

New Writing Project

As it is the first year, I'm trying to salvage all the free time I have in the wisest manner possible (Wisest being the operative word) whether it be grabbing as much sleep as possible, to doing a tonne of work, and right now my 'wisest manner' is telling me to write some more, in terms of creative writing, so I'm giving myself another challenge. What, oh wisest mannered one, is this project all about? I hear you all scream, well my last challenge was to write a full length script, which would be around the equivalent of an hour and a half, which in all truth wasn't too good, but the whole point was just to experiment with the length of writing, which I did. My challenge now is to write again a full length script but for a genre that I'm not very comfortable in writing, and focus more on the quality a bit more, so that it has the right length, but.... you know.... is actually good, because lets be honest, you don't wanna be going to the cinema and watch a good length, well shot movie with a terrible story and dialogue.

The genre I got my friend to pick at random, and luckily it turned out to be one I've not really written about before; crime. My last script touched on it briefly, but was more a thriller that included criminal behaviour, but the story itself was more focused on being an emotional journey, and to explore the reactions of the characters to loss and troubles etc. So the objective of this project is to focus the majority of it on crime, and I have started the script, done the necessary character background work etc and I'm quite excited! Seeing as I've chosen a pretty tricky career to go into (Screenwriting/Directing/Acting) its best that I get as much experience as possible, so this is perfect for that.

Crime, although I'm not very comfortable with it and definitely not experienced with, is not terribly restricting, and there is quite a lot that can be done with it, whether its a very simple murder or a complicated series of events with intricate details to them, there is a LOT that can be done, so I am definitely looking forward to this. Wish me luck fellow readers/bloggers/....Internet-ers?

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ya.

Effortless Editing, Ridiculous Reading and Laziness

So normally, and especially this year, more specifically this summer, I enjoy reading, and can get through a book fairly quick. As of recently reading has almost become a frightening thought, considering its Uni and should be intellectual and demanding it was certainly expected, but when my teacher says “Read so and so amount of chapters etc” I massively underestimate the length it will take me, taking in consideration, the undeniable ability to procrastinate, other lessons and pantomiming etc. Okay so maybe I’m over exaggerating again, I’m mainly talking about my most recent reading, Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’, when my teacher says “read up to book 14”….I did NOT quite understand how long 14 books (basically chapters) would take me, and I kind of put it off…rehearsing…listening to music….watching films….being generally lazy.  Oh dear, BUT I have spent most of today reading loads, I CAN DO THIS…maybe.

More work that I’ve done today has included my 3 hour Film Production lesson, which without a doubt is the best possible lesson of that length in existence! Today we focused on editing, the software we use is Avid, I have never used it before, I’ve only used After Effects, bit of premiere, bit of i-movie, and of course the classic but limiting Windows Movie Maker. Nevertheless, it was so smooth and slick, and made the task of editing seem so easy, which at times we all know its far from that, and for me can be the worst part. As a quick final statement, I’m still loving it here, not ill and everything’s good.  Au Revoir y’all.

As an an added quick final statement, despite the problems I’m having with the reading at the moment, reading is still good.  READ KIDS, or GTA will come and beat you up….yup the game is a human being that  instead of ‘encouraging violence’ encourages education and reading, so watch out guys, read or the big GTA guy’ll force you….Fun Ending.

Tumblr vs Blogger/Blogspot.

So, the reason I haven't really posted anything on here is because I wanted to try everything on Tumblr just because I think it just looks better in some parts, but it's also quite restricting. Now, as its actually pretty fun, and a nice thing to do on a late night when you're bored or something and University's a little quiet, I wanted to keep up a steady blog, but where I want to do it, I'm not sure. So, what I'm going to do, simply because I've found some bits on Tumblr I don't particularly like, where on Blogger or previous Blogspot, its possible to find better versions of it, I'm going to try out both. In theory it seems like a good idea, and could be interesting, but the practicality of it may lack a bit so we'll see how it works out! I seem to think I might keep photography projects and maybe a few films on Tumblr, and more actual blogging here on Blogger, because I feel like Tumblr is mainly for aesthetically pleasing photos, videos, gifs etc not big speeches of blogging from myself.

Call it an experiment of sorts, but it'll have an outcome, not deadly or dangerous...hopefully, so its all good. I will keep up with these blogs, because I want to, simple as that. I've changed my mind on the content a bit, so although it's gonna include things about University, I'm not going to limit to that, I'm going to blog about things I see that I like, ideas or projects I'm doing, pretty much anything I stop and think "I wanna write about this" and if I get people reading it, that'd be pretty cool and if anyone is reading which if the views demographics are actually right,people are, in which case, Hi :)

Today, I'm pretty bored, its a pretty uneventful Saturday and I'm in the mood to write, so I may post a couple of posts today, but definitely one in a minute.

Cya in a bit.
