Film Idea: In His Shoes

danny is 19 years old. he has already studied one year at hammersmith university, but he realised that wasnt what he wanted to do, so before the start of his first year he got transferred to nottingham trent university.

EXT - TRAIN STATION - DAY

Danny steps of the train and takes a deep breathe in.
he signs

DANNY
"arrrhhhh"

VOICE-OVER
" i wonder what this new uni is going to be like"

he picks up his bag from the platform, and starts to walk towards the exit, he stops off at a little corner shop and asks for directions, he thanks the shop owner, leaves and walks to the middle of town

a girl in town shouts out tony and waves

VOICE-OVER
"is she waving at me?"

danny looks puzzled, looks around him but there is no one else about, he casually smiles at this young lady infront of him

LADY
" i didnt know you was back in town already tony"

DANNY
" i believe you have got the wrong guy hun, my names danny"

the young lady giggles

LADY
" you always make me laugh with your little jokes, how was your summer"

danny getting dragged into the conversation casually replies

DANNY
"yea wasnt too bad hun got to see my family. what about you?"

thinking to himself

DANNY
"what am i doing?"

LADY
"yea mine was..."

danny interrupts

DANNY
" sorry hun but ive got to go... we will chat another time"

LADY
"thats ok... see you in class next week tony"

the young lady give him a kiss on the cheek and starts to walk off

danny still puzzled thinks to himself

DANNY
"i think im going to like this uni"

and he walks of with a grin on his face.

he locates his uni building, and gingerly walks in looking for room 106 where he has a meeting with his next teachers

on entering the room two teachers are already sitting in there waiting.

DANNY
" hi im here for a ..."

MALE TEACHER
" hi ya tony... what can i do for you... we got an interview with a new student in a minute.. so this will have ot be quick"

DANNY
"im here for the interview. my name is danny..."

FEMALE TEACHER
"tony you havent changed at all.. still cracking jokes i see... wel if you can wait around for 20 minutes we can talk then if its important"

Basic Script writting

There are three bodies of a script: Headings, narrative and dialogue. Each of these has three points to remember.
Headings:1. Master scene headings which include:a) Camera location - EXT. (exterior or outside) or INT. (interior or inside)b) Scene location (LOCAL RACE TRACK)c) Time (DAY or NIGHT)2. Secondary scene heading3. “Special headings” for things such as montages, dream sequences, flashbacks, flash forwards, etc.

Narrative Description:1. Action2. Character and settings (visual)3. Sounds
Dialogue:1. The name of the person speaking appears at the top, in CAPS.2. The actors direction (AKA parenthetical or wryly). Try to avoid these as much as possible. Both the director and actor will appreciate it.3. The speech.
Putting all this together you should come up with something that looks like this:

Eri's designs and Johnny's finishing work - Perfection

these pices of work were produced while i was working at my dads company, these are some of the pieces of work i was involved with. i only got theses pictures over xmas becuase i saw eri, but i would have had them sooner

I Dont Read !

i never read books but over christmas i have read quite a bit. i have read the whole of " In The Blink Of An Eye - A perspective on film editing" by walter murch, the whole of " The Director's Idea - The path to great directing" by Ken Dancyger, and i have now read half of " Directing - film Techniques and Aesthetics" by Michael Rabiger.

Its been a busy and boreing few weeks, so what better way to pass the time and send you to sleep on the nights when you just cant get any, then to Read

Script writting info i just found out

ive just read a article on how to produce a professional short script, in the article it explained that for roughly one minute of on scene footage there should be a pages worth of script written, this means that i have to start writting in more detail every aspect of what is going to happen, who is saying what, where they are going to be standing, the angles there going to be standing, how everything within the shot can effect the outcome of the next shot

location idea shots

The new years res

i have been told off by dave mckay, that the way i talk is not gentlemen enough and i do not speak proper english. so i have decided to start. first with my appearence
