In the second year of Film Studies, we were asked to create a screenplay for a piece of our coursework. As I have shown the images here, this was what my screenplay idea was. I had inspiration from many things, but I wanted to make a short about a man who had been troubled and the trains were also symbolic to the passing of time, also where I created the title.

In the beginning of our Subsidiary BTEC, we made some short films which were focusing mainly on the continuity. I made this in a group with two others which we created to be about an average guy who wanted to be a wizard but everything seemed to fail until he had left. This was the second film we had made using Premiere Pro and I think that this has worked out well for a start. Not only that but we also used the green screen to edit the glasses in, though this was a small section I have experimented with a few techniques.

Experiments

When I did the mini brief, I played around with different ideas I could create things, and one of my ideas was to cut up the image that I had drawn and piece it together, but shattered and off scale, this was to also represent that a bottle can break and that it would be shattered.

After creating that shattered version, I went onto the fine liners and I drew the bottle completely using the name of the bottle and the colours that the areas were. I found this to work really well and this was also inspired by the work of Sarah King and Oscar Wilson. I then went on to do more drawings in this style for my A2 project.

Ideas

For our A2 we had to do a mini brief, and this was where I went on to create some ideas for what I was going to do. I really wanted to work with fine liners as I had progressively found them more interesting and I enjoyed working with them, that I made up a page of ideas. All of them were done in fine liner, but I later experimented using other techniques like mono printing and water colours.

Exam Piece

So after creating all of my experiments towards my exam piece, I then made a children's book, this was made into a concertina which was then folded up in the shape to make a folding book. Below I have broken up the concertina into the front and back cover and four parts in the middle, this was easier as I couldn't put the whole thing on here as it was too long.

Exam Developments

Moving onto my Exam, I designed a children's book that was about travelling in a rocket and on the way you encounter various planets and characters. Below are some of the characters that I created when I was in the developments of what I wanted to do.

I then went on to make people for my children's book (which I never ended up using as I preferred the other characters) but these were developments that I did by using materials that I found to make there clothing or even some textures that I made to make up areas such as their helmet.

These were just ideas that I made because I wanted to see if making a simplistic character would work, but I found that the little fruit characters that i made would work a lot better and children should enjoy them more.

Digital Typography

After the cut paper, we then moved onto Digital and these were some more techniques were I had heavily involved typography. Below is an example where I repeated the word 'FOOD' to create an apple as I wanted to have the words make the object.

Above was another experiment where I involved textures where I used the stamp tool to make different textures appear in individual letters, I then used a cracked texture in the background to blend it in with the whole of the type. I found this to create a really interesting piece.
