Old sports

Good evening, old sport. I feel as though I have to write about what I've been doing for the past few weeks. Originally I got the impression that these blogs are only for my 231 class (which is my main film class.) I find that I cannot possibly only write for that, as barely little can happen in only those classes for weeks at a time, while plenty happens in my other classes (such as pre-production, and other commitments).

I've been simultaneously working to put together my documentary on students' outside lives clashing with coursework, and getting my webseries The Cat Kids underway.

In PrePro class, we have learnt how to use Scenechronize, a website for film and tv production, which utilizes online software to reduce the amount of IRL paper when creating script breakdowns, stripboards, call sheets, etc.

So I've been doing all the things for that. I've also been working on a Director's Manifesto, outlining several different things from art to cast to tone and feel of my web series.

I've helped Mose with his auditions, I was the camera op, recording the auditionees. I've never really held auditions, or attended film auditions before, so it was interesting to see how they play out. I can take the elements from his and apply them to my own.

After a depressingly low point affecting my Hauora for the past few weeks, I think I'm finally bouncing back. Tonight I filmed some B-Roll for my documentary. I got some fancy camera focus pulling and some fancy bokeh effects going, so it all looks really pretty. I'm a bit worried about the exposure in this, and I really suck at da vinci colour correcting, and colour correcting and grading in general. I should probably reshoot. Yes, I think I will do that, actually.

I have no idea what I'm doing here
