Thoughts about Work Experience...

Just working on my essay tonight. Added some things to my CV that i did over the summer. I've emailed it out to a variety of companies in birmingham and liverpool asking for work experience. I chose brimingham because thats where I am originally from. I also thoguht i'd try liverpool because my boyfriend lives there so i could stay with him and it would be fun to try working in a new city. I've created a BBC work experience log in, which said they would email me tomorrow with work experience oppurtunities in the west midlands revolving around television etc so I look forward to that. I've decided for the moment my interests do lie in commercials, mainly because i've only ever created short films in the past. Feature films are too long and look so complicated to make! I've got an idea for an advert that I might try and shoot just for fun. My sister said she'd help out and be an actor, so when she comes down to visit me from london I might use her for my advert!

RISK ASSESSMENT FORM

I have read the risk assessment form and agree that they are very important. By completing the form it helps a filming crew to prepare in advance to avoid any potential accidents that could take place during filming. It also enable the filming crew to think about whether they need to seek permission to use any locations or if they need to recieve a form of consent from people to whom it may affect.

Run Lola Run was made in 1998 by Tom Twyker. The plot is basically about a woman who needs to get 100,000 deutsche marks in 20 minutes in order to save her boyfriend's life. In the film she fails her first attempt at this and while she is dying the film suddenly rewinds itself and she has a second chance to get the money. Then this carries on throughout the film and she keeps retrying to get the money in the quickest way possible! This film is significant to me because as much as it entertained me I was also amazed at the structure and editing of the film. Everything in the background needs to stay the same in each of Lolas attempts however because she changes her actions the mise en scene has to change aswell. I liek the editing in the film, for example the colour red is predominant above all the other colours which I intend to do in my pixelation project. It looks cool and makes the props and people stand out more that are most important to the story. The film consists of lots of slowmotion scences and fast motion which gives the film pace and excitement. There is also one scene in the film where they use a cartoon version of Lola. The fact pace music really builds up the excitement within in the film aswel. I love how the film shows that in life anything can happen regarding to your actions. Another film I appreciate is The Butterfly Effect which uses a similar idea. Here is the trailer I recommend this film to anyone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkoaszTrHFE
