Set Film Tasks
Over the past few weeks I have worked on a majority of groups films as tests for our negotiated project film. Although I have a script for my chosen idea, I wanted to experience different pieces of equipment and how they differ from one another. Throughout the shoots I have worked closely with the Cannon C100 but with all my tests I have decided that this is not the right camera to use for my film. My idea will be focused around the art of depth of field so I have decided that I want to use a Cannon 7D for my shoot.
Below are links to a few films that I have worked on as a director, sound recordist, scriptwriter, cinematographer as well as an actor for the film Skeleton.

Individual Film Installation
The following day we were asked to individually think of a creative way to showcase our films. At first I thought about playing my film on my phone and positioning a small mirror in front of the phone on an angle. I had the idea in order to watch the film you would have to look through the mirror as the image was being reflected off. However, due to the time and resources available I was unable to make this possible so I went for a set design which would tie into my films subject matter. I started to create a set which looked like a polluted water source, I started off by cutting out a cardboard stand for my phone to stand on. Next I got a label and wrote down the title for my film "UNKNOWN" which stood out and I smudged it to make it seem unclear as to what the words were reading. I made a use of an energy drink can, cutting out the logo for the brand "Emerge", I thought that the word emerge could signify that something was emerging out of the polluted water source within the video. The final touches for the set was created using off cuts of card, tissue paper, energy drink cans and finally a sprinkle of tea leaves to make the set look messy and artsy.
Polluted Set Design (without the phone) - Taken on my phone
The film installation task has got myself thinking about various ways to illustrate my final project piece for my negotiated project module. As my film is going to be about the secret life of a painter I would like to set the scene of a painters work-space. The idea of placing the film on a screen and placing lots of different tools which painters use. The idea of having cloth placed over the screen as if an artist pulls of material to reveal a shiny new canvas. The tools will make up a semi circle around the film that is on the screen. Positioned underneath the film I will have a blank piece of paper, giving the impression that the film has been created on a canvas. I have also come up with the idea of having a sketch of a painting up on my phone which is placed behind the screen as if the artist glances over for inspiration whilst working. Finally I thought a good way to open up the film would be to place a clapper over the screen with the name of the film, camera operator, location just to add a bit of purpose to the presentation.
A few ideas from research
