light is hugely inspiring
today i have decided on ways that i'm going to light certain shots
that i have had in my mind for months
and even possibly, where i'm going to shoot them
i think shadows are extraordinary
because you can see the expression of body movement
and it can tell a beautiful story through images alone
this week is the camera, lights and sound week
yesterday we had a whole day learning about the history of cinematography
it was fantastic
it's good to know that my opinion on minimal dialogue will aid a creative vision that is mostly visual
not sure if that makes sense
i just think that in cinema you should make the most of the fact that cinema is visual
rather than just have two people sitting talking to each other
also last week, had another screen arts session, about citizen kane
loved it, especially the scene where he walks through the corridor with the mirrors
it was beautiful, i would love to make a nod to that
last week was mainly dedicated to "directing actors" which was certainly interesting
there is so much to learn
and went to the wrap party for the feature i was working on before i started film school
it was great to see everyone again, that film really inspired me quite greatly
there were ideas and things I watched them doing that i know i want to do
that's what i mean by inspiring
and it was nice to catch up with everyone as well,
i really respect and look up to everyone that i worked with,
and that's how a film set should be
i'd be lucky to work with those people again
and hope to cross paths soon
also my hair appointment is booked for the 9th november
blonde
also movements are being made to possibly move in with some awesome people
I'll update on that if/when it happens
finally, saw the title of an article in the newspaper today
it is a quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
which i had to write down because i need to remember it:
Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet.
