Miss Hammand work

My personal opinion is i don’t think it would make much of a difference if you had a good camera or not, the only difference would be is if you had like a proper film camera that they use in the film but I am quite sure that wouldn’t happen. But I do think that this theory helps or understands my idea of creativity "There is no absolute judgement [on creativity] All judgements are comparisons of one thing with another." (Donald Larning). I think this because in my point of view creativity comes from what you make of what your doing, its doesn’t matter what technology you have, although they would help but most of it comes from you. For example in are AS coursework we had just a normal camera but we were creative because we had enthusiasm so the ideas came much easier. However in are A2 coursework the ideas didn’t flow as much as they did with the other coursework? This is why I didn’t enjoy this coursework, making a music video as much as a film opening.  Out of all of the quotes I would challenge “A project that is too well planned lacks opportunities for spontaneity and creativity.” I choose this one because it is right about spontaneity to an extent but I think that if you are a head with everything and you have planned ahead then you have time to edit your work and have enough time to change your work. 

 Are main inspiration was American Psycho because we like the way that he deled with killing people and how he found it to be more of a sport or hobby than an act against god. We also liked the way that he had used classical music when performing his crimes etc. But for the  A2 coursework we found it hard to find inspiration for the music because we didn’t like the same music to start but the main reason was that we don’t like music enough to really want to do a video about it, so it was really hard for us to find the enthusiasm to finish it unlike are AS coursework which we enjoyed much more. My research and planning was really based around songs I liked just to try and get the ball rolling but once Dale suggested Lippy Kids sung by Elbow I learned to like it. As the music goes for the AS coursework the only music we used was the classical music which I think worked very well with the style that we were going for. However for the A2 music we had a couple of half inspiration but non that we really liked straight away and Dale did think that it would be good to change the song that we were doing 2 weeks into the coursework from a radio head song to Lippy Kid by Elbow. For the camera work for the AS coursework, a lot of it was straight because we choose to make the film opening like a killing home video for his collection. But for the A2 coursework there was a lot of panning shots like in the actual video. There is also shots were two or three of the band members are connecting by looking at each other which Mr Ford said we needed to add so it looked more of a band performance than three individuals ones. The mise en scene for the are film opening was good because that was the theme that he had killed someone in his house which is why we filmed the film opening in Dales house and not in somewhere in the school. But for the A2 music video the mise en scene wasn’t what it meant to be, this is because we wanted to film in the stage but unfortunately for us the pantomime were rehearsing for all of that week which made it impossible for us to film on stage in the time amount we were premiered for finishing are music video. So we managed to film in the drama study but the mise en scene wasn’t very good because it looked like a class room no matter how hard we tried to make it look like a music study. But we do think that the mise en scene was better in are final draft than are mock, which was filmed in the e learning centre.

The things we might take into future are always make sure you finish your storyboard before you start filming and always plan ahead because you never know what is going to happen and mess up your filming location.
