Live Briefs

Don't forget to take a look at the week of cultural consumption. Here's the blog address (they're separate you see!)

I have also been helping out Leeds Mencap, and this project will continue to run into summer. I was approached by Marianne who asked if I'd be interested in producing a film which would be played on a loop at Leeds City Museum. It was silent, and had a very fixed idea. The idea was that 

I also plan to help document the East Street Arts event 'Bike Fest' which run throughout July. I think this will be a great opportunity to show what I have been building on (film technicalities) over that last 6 months.

I would also like to continue to build on my technical ability to film and edit, and also really start to question and analyse the content of the films I am producing.

I plan to record my time there, and want to learn how to get great shots when under pressure time-wise. I also want to find an innovative way of utilising my comedic performance skills.

Dutch Simpson - He demonsrates some really innovative shots and I really want to try and get used to creating shots like this so that the films I begin to produce have great technical shots as well as beautiful content. 

Some beautiful and atmospheric shots. Also shows the kind of colour grading I hope to start learning how to achieve.

Eat - Rick Mereki

Rick Mereki is a film maker who documents travel and inspires his audience to get out and see the world! Just the kind of thing I'd love to do!

Went to the Year 2 photography exhibition down at Vernon Street to support my housemate Bryony, who has submitted some beautiful photo collages which worked under the title of 'Photography as Representation.' 

Got chatting to a man who also volunteered at Inkwell so found some common ground on that.

Getting our work out there, and contacting inspirational artists about their methods and processes!

Here is the film!

Casey Neistat's films are messier, more 'in the moment' and more genuine. He often uses big quotes that back up his film's theme/message. There is a mix between hand held shaky shots, beautiful in focus and HD shots, and signature cutting methods. Casey also used a similar colour scheme and imagery used in his logo on his Youtube Artwork. He has also watermarked all of his footage uploaded onto youtube.
