Ok. So I there are 8 days left until the final hand in. OH GOOD GOD.
I got it all together, model, props, photographer, studio, van, everything. But I was lacking the glue. I shot my shoot on Monday, it went swiftly, and I was pretty confident. The props looked great, the first shot was perfect, just as I had seen it! The crop of the face, the table, the pencils. But something is missing, I think, that it would have been better if I had recruited a stylist to help me style. It all worked in my head but thats no use in a shoot! I have difficulty getting it out. Maybe because of stress from the looming deadline, I panic! It also would have helped if I had a professional model. My model is stunning, dont get me wrong, but I think I had taken on too much with being in charge of all production that I failed in directing her well. I have a big selection job ahead. and post production too.
My film and book on the other hand are going very well! I re-re-shot the film and it looks great, the crops and angles are sweet. AND im learning how to use final cut pro! I am by no means a pro yet but its a start. The book is forcing me to use in-design too which makes my life so easy now that I know how to use it. So far its 57 pages long, just need to add images and finalise the formatting. WOOP.
By the end of the week, i.e sunday, I must have finished my film, book, and images. Sent the images off to print, and written my reflective discourse essay. AND have written more of the commentary. YES. I will do it! Monday I will print and take the book/books for binding and burn the dvd. oh yes.
