MMPA FESTIVAL KICKSTARTER

For part of my course we have decided to run a festival to promote the talent at Bradford College, it involves filmmakers, actors and musicians...

Media Music and Performing Arts (MMPA)

We have a £0 budget and need to raise money ourselves to book venues and promote the event, we want it to be big as it's our final year and hopefully the festival will continue so I'm asking you lovely people to donate and support the arts and young talent, because they deserve it!

So please watch our kickstarter video and donate! We appreciate all donations no matter how small, help us make it happen.

Recent film watches

One Day

Not a bad film, little different to what I had expected after seeing the trailer. SPOILER ALLERT! I was so shocked when she died just out of the blue, it was all looking good for them and bam just like that. None the less very effective. Pretty nice film overall. Some beautiful shots landscape shots and the flats and apartments used very nice, I really like the way tattered walls look on camera and the idea it creates.

The Heat

Pretty funny but as I had expected not as funny as it could have been considering these are two seriously funny ladies. It's a good film though, worth a watch. Story is decent.

Now You See Me

Very good, really enjoyable film. Have to question the ending a little, not sure if I liked it something didn't feel right. 

Cabin in the Woods

A little cheesy in place but a typical horror, not bad really. I know a lot of people like it, I'm quite a horror fan but I quite enjoyed it and I'm not a fan of zombie films in the slightest now this isn't a zombie film but it has them in which usually puts me off. This however I didn't mind, uses typical horror tricks but does it well. Nicely shot.

Saving Mr Banks

Actually a very good film, the story behind Mary Poppins you just wouldn't know. Such a lovely story. Disney haven't been making the greatest films lately but this one is definitely a good one. I'd recommend it.

FILMING

So yesterday began the filming of Double Denim Live's new advert, a few little interviews for it completed! I'm so happy with the footage and I'm excited for the event this Saturday:

Here's a couple from Monday for now:

Here's one of me filming taken by the people being Double Denim

Keep an eye out for the advert and get down to a Double Denim Live event, it's a good night out!

So 2014

What's coming?

Well there's still the release of King No-One's Live set which is being looked at by the people I filmed for (This and That Promotions) and Karama's Promo video will be coming.

There's the premiere of Cache and the accompanying documentary later this month at the Media Museum. I'm rather excited for this, I worked as a lighting technician on Cache and did a little interview in the documentary. I look terrible but regardless of that the film looks visually great from what I've seen, hoping the story is too. The documentary was made by Mafia Productions, have a look at his work https://www.facebook.com/MafiaProductioncompany?fref=ts

Berlin film festival next month, not entered anything just excited to go to it. Besides Bradford's Animation Festival this is my first film festival. I'm excited to take some photos in Berlin and watch some great films.

Course wise I'm excited to produce a film, be interesting to work on a film with a none creative role and support someone in that process. Making an advert, could be cool. My class running a film festival, this is going to be a lot of work but it should be great. Never done anything like that I think we'll all learn a lot.

There'll be more work with This and That Promotions for DDLTV, filming for them see how that goes. https://www.facebook.com/DoubleDenimLive?fref=ts YouTube Channel: DDLTV2013

More photography, hopefully more films. Maybe other bigger things we'll see.

BYFA I remain undecided whether to attending this summer (That's British Youth Film Academy) run by the Co-operative. http://britishyouthfilmacademy.com

Continuing work experience with the BBC, moving onto sound soon. Really excited for that so much to learn about sound. Currently a weak spot of me so going to try learn as much as I can.

It's a big year, lots of decisions to be made. I'll be finishing my HND as far as I've decided I don't want to top it up just yet, I know people rave about degrees but currently I feel work experience is more important, if it gets recommended I top-up then I'll think about it. Until then, I need to have a look at some options really, see what's out there.

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

Went to watch The Hobbit of course, in 3D. I do have issues with 3D, I can only half see it so that makes it a little disappointing but none the less the film was amazing. Noticed they didn't go down the same route as they did with the first one in terms of filming, little to none of the magic hour shooting. The colours were much better in this one but clearly this decision was made to distance from the Shire and to the more gritty. I really loved the gritty look they gave some locations. I liked how it was less about showing off the landscape like in the previous one. Those spiders were crazy but funny at the same time. It's a lot better than part 1 but follows on nicely, you can see the progression with the story and how they reflect that in the film making and style choices. Again, people not happy with the ending, seems to be a theme with film series' but where else would they have left it considering they're squeezing another one out of it. In a way I can see why they'd want a third, audience is happy because they got a lot of of it and tells most of the story but do they? I've heard people complain about bits missing and changes made for the film. Also more money out of it the longer they drag it out but as I've heard theres not much story left at this point so looks like they're really dragging it out. Splitting a film into two is alright but three is excessive. Regardless of that you should still give it a watch it's really good.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2

So I've literally only just got around to watching this, I'm not a big Twilight fan dislike the story if I'm honest but they are well made. I was really surprised by this one, I actually liked it enough to pay attention fully. It's really beautifully shot and the twist at the end is so good. I know a lot of people don't like that part they think it's stupid or ruined it but I think it fit it really well. If it had of ended with the battle people would have complained more, it wrapped it up better the way it was done. Surprising when they actually get things right. I also liked the fact it didn't just end there they continued to wrap it up and it ended a film series better than a lot do, I'd say the ending is less disappointing in this than many they took their time with it instead of the quick ending because they ran out of time which happens a lot. I'd recommend this one.
