AFilmStudent


I am a film student from Brighton and have created this blog to record my research into the world of film. Please follow my blog if you feel you are interested in similar subjects. I am looking into all areas and intend to post as much as I can on here. Videos, reviews, reports, interests and news. In particular I am interested in editing. I plan on working my way through all the different software available. If you do have any suggestions please message me!

I will also be using my blog to log preproduction and development of ideas for films i am working on. If anything does catch your eye and you have something to say on the matter let me know!

My film of the week this week is ‘LA HAINE’. I think everyone has to of seen this film at one point in their life as its stunning! 
The film is written and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. It was released in 1995 and is to this date one of my favourite films of all time.

CANON 550D - CANON 60D - CANON 600D

I am looking into cameras at the moment as am going to need my own camera for filming as my college does not allow me to hire equipment over night. 

I am looking at the Canon series but don’t know what to make of the different models. I have used the Canon 550D loads to shoot films. I have also used both the others by can’t see a immediate difference myself. 

I have very limit funds hence the reason i need to properly research the camera’s. 

I would very much appreciate ANY advice anyone can give me one the camera’s as need to make a purchase soon! Please message me or reply to this post if you have anything to say about them! 

MUCH APPRECIATED!

If you could ask friends that may know it would again be much appreciated! If not reblog with my tumblr account referenced if you think your followers/friends could help me out!

This is not a spam post as i generally need some help!

Purchase a website

I have now set up a website www.afilmstudent.com but it needs some work as at the moment its a blank page. 

I hope to have full detailed reports on Editing, sound, animation…etc

now i need to start making some work! 

Another music video.. Rotoscoping effect is brilliant. Simple but works SO well.

Anyway i had a go at doing some hand drawn frames today and they are looking good. have decided to mix the line drawing with the photoshop work and graphic novel to make the most of this animation project! 

An attempt at Light graffiti. 

La Haine.
Im going to attempt to rotoscope this scene from ‘La Haine’.

Please reblog or like. Leave some feedback on vimeo if you can spare a moment. Let me know either way. Comment on VIMEO or message me on here. If you hate it, let me know why. Its not an action short its meant to be thought provoking. 

A woman faces the guilt she feels after assisting the suicide of her terminally ill husband. Her Guilt takes her into a prison cell forcing her to tackle her emotions and face him. 

Keep in mind this is my first film as a student and its not perfect so far but am pleased with what it looks like.

Thanks

My film of the week

Today i have posted the first film recommendation. Every week i will change my headed picture to a film i recommend watching. If interested in watching some good films check it out weekly.

Everyone has probably seen this advert before. Its a toyota advert. It uses rotoscoping and a mix of animation and real footage. I really like the effect it has, i would love to use this in my animation but am aware how time consuming it would be.

I real like the animation style in the music video ‘Superbad’ by Flux Pavilion & Doctor P.
I want to learn how to achieve the effect they use. Its like an animated Graphic Novel. I think it could work well in the the ‘stranger danger’ animation.
Im thinking i could use it for and intro and ending?
I have decided i do want to stick to the Comic/Graphic novel style.

Forgive Me

This is a short film i started a month ago. Its not 100% yet but i wanted to upload it as it stands at the moment and hope for some feedback.

Its quite heavy as based on ‘euthanasia’ but put a lot of time into production.

Please reblog if you can!
