For this module we're undertaking the task of creating a 30 second advert for a client which will be entered into the Kodak awards. This advert is to be shot on 16mm film stock. We recently began our own research and our own to do lists based on the roles we were given. This time around I'm directing one advert and I'm cinematographer on another. I've started off with the basics, looking at what to do and what not to do with 16mm, as this is the first time I've shot anything on film (other than the small amount of super 8 I did last year). I began my research by watching some helpful videos about other peoples experiences of working on film. Below is a link to a video I found extremely helpful and encouraging, about a guy who shot a film project with a hedgehog as his subject.
I got underway with directorial and cinematographer duties, planning ahead the narrative and the visuals of two very contrasting adverts. The one I am directing is for stationary company 'Paperchase' who are looking for something to help promote their valentines gifts. The other, the one which I am cinematographer on, an advert for centrepoint a company who support and spread awareness of homelessness amongst young people.
My progress so far has been to shot list and storyboard the paper chase advert, and to create colour palettes and visual influence for the centrepoint advert. We're now up to the point where we are beginning to plan shoot dates, locations, actors and costumes.
