I love the films,got a few films to see at the cinema at the moment:Going to see Avatar in 3D this week-looking forward to all the pretty colours.Sherlock Holmes coz I love modern adaptions and Guy Ritchie and Robert Downy Jr.Also prompted because I saw Young Sherlock Holmes,directed by Barry Levinson over christmas- it was one of my friends childhood favorites that I apparently missed.Also Book of Eli looks worth a watch.
Saw Baz Luhrmanns adapption of Romeo and Juliet recently,bought it for some research for the moving image project.I have to say,I do really enjoy Shakespeare,Romeo and Juliet was one of his plays I studied in detail.I love the way the script is kept to quite tightly without ruining the screenplay i.e Montague's 'Longsword' being his shotgun in his limo.
Waltz with Bashir was another film I saw recently that I thought was amazing.It is based on a true story about the 1982 Lebanon war.It goes through the voyage of discovery of a veteran who remembers nothing of his time there.The animation is beautiful.
Listening to alot of dubstep,I really like finding novel ideas for tunes and videos that give a real sense of the imagery:
PRINTER JAM- Remix by Mistabishi.
MARIO IS DEAD by Super Dub Brothers.
NIGHT by Benga and Coki

Started the moving image project on Friday,looks like its going to be a goodun'.The basic theme of our script is loneliness- its about a girl who is 'invisible' to everyone in her life and feels very isolated.We had 2 genres to choose from- either a comedy where this character is a super hero who is actually invisible; or a dark possibly slightly horror genre with lots of freaky depressing imagery sticking to the literal loneliness theme.We chose the latter.
The role I am filling in the group is the director,I chose to put myself forward for the role because I like the idea of being the one to oversee the choices the group has made as a whole and get our ideas across through the production stage.
Meeting with the team on Monday to discuss the script and feel of the film further,do some research into noir genre films and search out some set locations.
