Bad Times
this week has gone from bad to worse.the start of the week my computer malfunctioned and i had to transfer everything onto my external hard drive, and last night my external hard drive malfunctioned and ive lost all my work, so im having to restart my assignment, but hopefully if i take my hard drive into the shop they can recover even if not all the data atleast some of the important data.
a measure from my father
When I finished a draft version of my film, I sent my father a email to ask his opinion on what he thoughts were on what I had done so far and if there was anything he thought I should change or try to improve, within a hour he replied to my email saying, and I quote “ I am amazed that I piece of work such as this was done by my son, you make me and your mother so proud, you was the first one in the family to go to university and you are living my dream, we are both proud of what you have become and achieved.
My throughs and feelings
I had a lot of fun working on my film today, there was a lot of funny out takes and for the first time i really had fun filming a piece of work, this was also the first chance i got in a long time to actually be on camera not just the guy behind the lense, the face no one ever remembers

It is a widely accepted fact that reflection is one of the key components of effective learning. Nearly all of us reflect on what happens to us on a daily basis, perhaps mulling over the day’s events on our journey home from work; thinking ‘out loud’ to our family and friends or coming up with bright ideas in the shower. Most of the time, these reflections are strikingly consistent or those bright ideas never come to fruition. The reason for this is that the link between reflection and action is often tenuous because our thoughts are often fleeting or because we are distracted or because it’s easier to put off doing something about them.

Day two of filming
I decided to tell everyone last night to come to set a hour later then we had arrange, the reason being that yesterday everyone worked extremely hard and we was over a hour ahead of schedule, because everone worked so hard, i wanted them to have a lie in, the filmin will commence at 11.30 instead of 10.30. its 10.30 now so got one hour before everone arrives, i will put up another post later tonight to say how the 2nd day of filmin went
the BIG DAY of filming
ok so today was the big day for filming, and everything when great, all the crew and actors turned up 15minutes before i expected them too, and they worked constantly and very hard to achieve what i wanted, i am very greatful for what everyone has done on such short notice and it has been a great benefit to me that they could help me on such short notice.
Forget Actors - True Firends Will SAVE You In A Time Of Need
Due to the recent problem i have had with my actors, i have had to ask around for two people who are willing to star in my film, and my heroes who come to my rescue are two university coolegues and co-workers, Jack Boyles and Janet Chu.. these two are life savers, they are both going to be my actors but also they already have experience on and behind a camera, so these two will be great assets to my film,
thank you guys
thank you guys
Two Days before Shoot
ok right i had arranged some actors to star in my short fictional film... however within the space of 4 hours both have had to pull out due to conditions of filming. the main guy characters car has broken down, so he wont be able to drive up to nottingham from london and the actress, i wanted to star in the film doesnt feel it is suitable to sleep at anythign other then a hotel, and due to my lack of funds at the moment i cant afford to pay for a hotel for the whole weekend for her
Saw 1.5 reference
Whle doing my research on hostage situations, the first film that sprang to mind was to film trilogy SAW, i discovered that SAW was orignally a short film by some russian university students, and it was titled SAW 1.5
Fictional Film Reference - tie me up, tie me down
The film follows Ricky (Banderas), a young man recently released from a mental institution, who has been obsessed with Marina (Abril), an actress, former porn star, and recovering heroin addict, since the pair shared a one-night stand one year before the drama of the film. Ricky was orphaned at the age of three, and afterward subjected to the state system of foster-childhood and psychiatric care. He is a wily and ambiguous character with an imbalanced personality. He kidnaps Marina, and admits that his plan is to make her fall in love with him, live with him, and produce his children. Eventually, Marina does fall into some kind of love with him, however still considers herself his prisoner, and tells him to keep her tied up so that she won't try to escape. Subsequently, she reluctantly escapes with the assistance of her sister Lola (Loles León), but the lovers are eventually reunited.
Perhaps the major focus of the film explores how sex affects personal relationships. Sex is shown to be a prime determinant of emotions and actions. It directs, in no small part, the entirety of the dramatic content of the film. It is the seed of obsession. The obsession over sex drives Ricky to kidnap. It drives the paralyzed, porn-watching, wheel-chair-bound director (Francisco Rabal), into a neurotic pursuance of Marina. It initiates a softening of Marina's attitude towards her captor.
The film also deals with victimization and violence. Victim and predator blur, and violence and love are mixed together curiously. Almódovar deals with all serious topics in a very even-handed manner. In this film, it is clear that violence and victimization produce predatory and so-called "crazy" behavior (i.e. behavior worthy of psychiatric detention). Marina is a victim as much as Ricky - exploited for her beauty as a porn star, she becomes abuser and addict of smack. She is so used to being treated as a sexual object that she ultimately falls for the battered and imbalanced Ricky. At the end of the film she reminds one of the two young, run-away lovers of The Graduate. She seems entirely unsure and confused.
