PRP Practical
I must begin my practical. I am going to attempt to find a formula for suspense in film.
Q : Is there a formula that can be applied to the creation and viewing of audiovisual material to provoke a maximum sense of suspense from the audience.
Method : An audience will be shown the six videos twice, once in a group and once as a lone viewer. Six short videos using varying audiovisual storytelling techniques and viewing arenas.
A: ??????
First Artifact - Light
The first artefact to be produced will be a short video in which I will be attempting to create a feeling of audiovisual suspense, concentrating on the use of lighting as the emphasis of the suspense. This will be the beginning of my investigation to discover a formula for suspense in audiovisual medium.
Lets hope all goes well

PRP Essay
I was never great at formal writing. This PRP stuff is pressuring. I fear i have not performed up to standard on my PRP essay, a lack of research. Not broad enough, but i managed to produce an essay of which i believe will pass. Studies on Hitchcock and some baroque art, colour, image, lighting and sound. I am confident that i will do well with the practical part of the PRP.

Back in Action!!!
Hello, first blog post of YR 3.
Simulated Client Project : RepelAnt
This is my product logo for my ' insect repellent'.
We have been asked to create an audiovisual advert that will, sell, entertain and inform the audience this product.
Synopsis
Black and white, a man waits, (V/O – “he waits”) we see his face slowly zooming in as the music starts ( imitation of Phat Planet by Leftfield ‘boom ba doom boom ba doom boom’). He is staring in suspense. We see a gap in the wall and slowly start to zoom in on it. We see a slow zoom on the clock. (V/O “ and I’ll tell you what, tick followed tock followed tick….”)The shots cut between each other and reach extreme close ups. At this point the music cuts, and we see a close up of his face, slow motion, he blinks and turns his head (V/O “ and the fat drummer hit the beat with all his heart”), back to real time, and full colour, he turns and shouts “ OI TUBBY, PACK IT IN!!!” we cut to a shot of another man sitting a drum kit, looking shocked at the man’s shouting. “Alright” he says in a whining sarcastic way. The first man then turns back to looking at the whole, spots an ant and sprays him. Music starts again, cut to a pack shot of the ‘ RepelAnt’ with a dead ant next to it, with the visual tagline, ‘ For those annoying little pests’. There is a blurred image behind the pack shot, in the background, of the first man jumping on the other man at the drum kit.

LATERS YEAH!?

Narrative
A busy week this week. Got alot of Pre production to do for my Direction piece and also a new nintey sec narrative to propose to AV guru Deb Tuck. Here is my ten second pilot for my idea.
This is a light hearted but intense and surreal short in which our character loses his keys and his mind.
Our character wakes and prepares for another day in the office. He showers, dresses, eats breakfast and has a mug of coffee. As he walks to the door and reaches for his keys, he discovers that they are missing. He scours the house in a panic frantically seeking his keys, the stress of it all leads to hysterical hallucination. All he can see are keys. Everywhere, keys. After excruciating mental torture the front door locks turn, in walks his flatmate with a pint of milk in hand announcing that he had just borrowed the keys to go to the shop, our character is relieved and casually walks out the door.

Tracking Shots
Oh Dear, its been a while, well... over 2 months since i last posted anything, jools will not be impressed.
Heres an exercise we performed in AV it was basically to practise planning shots as certain complicated shots can take a long time to plan. We selected a certain part of a script and blocked out the shot on paper before we actually shot. I was happy with the fnished shot, i think its awesome for what it is.
