New Term Welcome Post

 WELCOME POST

Welcome to my welcome post for the second term of my Media Studies Foundation Year. With this term I want to add the ambition and the hard-work I was lacking to deliver the past term. This time around I plan to explore filmmaking in more depth and evolve both as a student and a filmmaker. Looking forward to presenting my work to the world.

In this term I will be working on a lot of projects both in and out of university and learning by myself to learn photoshop, aftereffects, character animator and premiere pro. This is a photo I have taken during my time in the army.

Like this flower I intent to open up and make the best out of this year. The whole world is going through some difficult times and we need to stay together in order to rise even stronger.

During this Christmas break I studied a lot about three films that the filmmaker Christopher Nolan created and this are the Batman trilogy.

Research:Christopher Nolan is a British filmmaker known to be thinking outside the box but also does not like the light of fame.This man started from being a low badget independent filmmaker to major film studio movies. He is well known for his take on the caped crusader on his amazing trilogy with movies like Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. I was amazed that he managed to take a character who was mainly represented from media as a super hero for children and transform him to a mainstream character that even adults like seeing in the big screen. This filmmaker uses a narrative convention called "non linear" storytelling which means that in the stories he presents in his movies he prefers to tell a story in no chronological order. Throughout his career he made all kinds of movies with his first one being a £6000 noir thriller called "Following". The way this director makes the actors interact with their environment and the actors he casts makes him one of the most exceptional filmmakers of our time.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
