SHOOT 2: FOOTAGE

This was a very experimental shoot. We decided to use a variation of materials that we initially didn’t think would work but apparently work brilliantly together. Some of the shots with the pigs lungs being moved within the oil have so much movement depicting a living creature. When we first saw the footage, we believed that it was an octopus tentacle or something crazy but instead it was one of my favourite shots from that shoot.

SHOOT 1: INK SPILL FOOTAGE

Well expect a lot more of this to be uploaded to this blog. I loved the outcome from the shoot and am thoroughly excited for the next shoot. I couldn’t believe the quality of footage from the Canon C100! I have never really dabbled within the film industry before so initially had no clue what I was doing. It was awesome using a different piece of equipment that created unreal outcomes which is going to really inspire me within my project and hopefully creative career. Early days eh! I had better not get too ahead of myself.

SET UP:

STARTED USING THE C100:

Thought I’d get a few photos of the equipment. Looks pretty complicated but by the end of the shoot, I got over the intimidating amount of features and buttons this beast has to offer.

EARLY IDEAS MOCKED UP:

Personally, my favourite design to date is the hardware store counter with all the essentials for the heist/ murder. The one above is supposed to represent the two barrels of the shotgun. In comparison to the wooden looking one, this design just doesnt do it for me unfortunately.

NOTES FROM FILM:

During the film, I decided to take a vast amount of notes picking out little ideas. As I was going along, I kept having little ideas that i felt could really assist me in actually getting some designs started. I felt as if this was a really effective for me personally to accurately and collectively gather a vast amount of research that will definitely assist my creative ideas within this project.

SKETCHBOOK TEXTURES:

Early sketchbook textures as I decided I wanted to get creative.. After i started and finished these pages, I had already decided I wanted to create my covers digitally using my own images as i was really not feeling the whole sketchy route. Initial sketches were obviously introduced to gain valuable brainstorm.

VISIT TO WATERSTONES, BIRMINGHAM:

I dceided to visit waterstones as.. well why wouldn’t you? Its the most obvious place to start researching and seeing whats in trend at the moment.. I quickly learnt that the book market is very diverse and many designers use an unbelievable amount of techniques I didn’t even consider using. Due to this, I think I will be able to create something different that stands out among the rest.

Gorillaz by Jamie Hewlett:

I was really interested in working with a comicy more jokey interpretation with the brief. I thought that the gorillaz would be a good place to look at for character design. I wanted to create characters with human features which represents them such as animations creating a character etc.

Black Cat Comics:

Brief research into black cat comics. I was suggested to look at these by a friend as the retro look was really appealing to me. I like the really bold colours and quite grainy look..Its quite nostalgic like looking at film photography which could be something cool to look at during the process of this project.

Watchmen Comic:

I think the retro look along side the heavy markered shadowing really appeals to me. It takes me back to reading my fathers comics when he was a child.
