i have now uploaded all my footage onto i - movie. i dont really like most of the footage the stuff i do like dosent move i think the element of stillness really works with the idea of memory
but i still hate all t he footage so i will just have to work with what i have got being as i have a non exsistant amount of time to change my mind or my idea.
but i know already without being totally defeatist that i am not going to like the outcome.

week five .. argh scary times my friends
yep so here we are in the final and oh so stressfull strecth . im very tired this week.
ive began and prettymcuh completed filming as was my plan thus my skecth book seems abit out of date , but i can fix that once ive iuploaded my footage onto the computers at school (then i can take screen caps and annotate them i think as i edit)
in reflection his week has been okay but not as succesfulla s i wouldve liked .
but . and its bad to say , i feel alot of people are in a similar kind of lost and stressed position as me and that makes me feel alot better.
we had a crit with dave on tuesday , i came in to sort out some things .
as i had kind of made the decison to not come ina nd just film all week. the probelm is what i seem to be doing is not focusing , im kind of filmign two ideas (the ones i have previosuly talked about) and im kind of just seeing which one pans out okay. or which one has enough footage for me to cut like three minutes of fucking anything out of .
the crit was good , i was one of the only people to really give any feedabck or agin any feedback , people were helpful to my problems , dave seemd concerned that i had not had enought ime to teach myself about i movie but everyone (ie staff) tend to forget i made a two minute filma the beginning of the year all edited on i movie all by my self and thus im less panicked.
although saying that i am panicked very panicked . im not as organise as i would like to be and i feel as mucha s my skecth book is really full it is slipping somewhat and i dont like taht .
reflecting over the last six weeks (in prepartion for my dreaded assesment essay) i feel i could have been alot more organised , i can tell already the last four days of next week are going to kill me .i still have some things i really really want to film but im re considering bacause i really think i should plow on with editing. so i keep trying to make thses decsions and do whats best .
i suppose i have struggled t find certain things to film, again another thing i shoudl have been way more organised about as i had spoken to my tutor about all this last week and we made an actioan paln and i felt really happy and sorted but then its like , half of it just hasnt materialised . im really disappointed in my self for that.

another week ... week four
went to the exhibition at south london gallery .
its kind of ecletic . may be a bit too much so .
the work on first glance seems very nice , kind off coloured and conceptual and interesting , a few pieces really struck me. a lighht piece for example and a painting about deteriation. two massive squares painted on a certain fabric type material and mounted onto the wall , the idea was that it is a film , a moving image piece because iover time the piece would deteriate thus altering and changing the image so it becomes moviing , i quite liked this.
work hasd been abit meh lately , if im being honest on this thing(which im not sure if i should be being but hey . whatever) i need toreally kick my slef up the arse at this point . majorley.
i mean im getting a bit sick of certain things , i feel like alot of us are getting alot of nagging from varoius places but there nagging thouse of us that come in everyday as opposed to thsoe who turn up at like three pm and then leave at four - makes no sense!
but i have a really bad habit of balming other people and this wave of lathergasism is really my fault , i dont know why it is , im quite frustrated because i feel like theres no point in going through with anything , i feel as though whatever ill do itll just go wrong.
al the sam eive been pressing on . watching alot of short films , one dvd in part icular has been uselfull and id recommend it to anyone really , its called cinema 16 and its british shorts.
one i think may really work in the same way ive kind of been thinking about this film.
at first i got really into the idea of makign a stop frame animation useing found objects and self taken pictures and my won photos etc , but now im thinking about shifting the focus onto object.
looking over my work this week i could have been really alot more productive.
but i feel this idea has some cloaut , im just scared itll be boring.
this film , ell it was a series of letters and a voice over , explainging the letter and story around it , i like the way teh text is just filmed so theyve actually just filmed a letter you cans ee the handwriting and the paper lines and all this and its still amusing bacuse you actually ahve to LISTEN to what the anrrators saying , as a postal exchange happens the view shifts to various letters (its simple cuts) i like this idea , and in my sketch book ive been working on it and trying to work it into the story boards i already constrcuted,
it also seems more freasable time wise. at this point i dont really wnat to stress my self out ,i kind of want to make life easy for my self.
and im sytarting to attempt my final evaluation, which is bound to be a disator , my ideas have totally changed from thebeginning of the term!

week three
ohh exciting ! south london gallerys new exhibition focuses around memory!i plan to go when i can .
i did find time this week to go and see the gilbert and george exhibition at the tate modern .
it is a bloody massive exhibtion , fuck me i was there soooo looong and i dint even realsie it but eighteen rooms jees!
i had that fancy i - pody thing the tae gives you if you pay them money , i would not usually bother but i must admit i was quite impressed by the whole thing, i learnt quite alot of things that i wouldnt have realised .. let me enlighten you with some facts before i go on to my project.
1. gilbert and george say they like to always represent men in there work (none of there work hasa women in it) not because they feel men are superier or anything but to re dress the balance in art (somethign the guerilla girls will be pleased about)
as in, in gallerys there are tonnes of pictures subjectifying the female form and they want to re dress this in their won little way .
2. in some pictures there are these odd close ups of whta seem to be at first organic matter ,almost like snow flakes but in fact these are microscopic close ups of sperm and piss .
seriosuly they amke the stuff look beautiful .
3. gilbert and george like gin.alot.
the exhibaition was curated well with a nice cafe plonked in the middle , i was disapointed that alot of their perfromance work and film work was over looked (but thats just coz i like that kind of stuff really ..)i much prefer there earlier work to their more recent stuff , this is for merely aestetic reason , i feel the voice running throughout there work and the themes running through out have remained string and always up to date , gilbert and george may seem like old fuddy duddys in suits but in actual fact i think theyve still got there button well and truly on the pulse . this may be coz they live in the ultra arty east of london obviosuly and the mix of cultures there really seems to inspire them and terrorsim is a strong theme in tehir recent work,, other themes have included aids and my personal fave drinking. a theme of which one day soon i plan to fully explore for my self (dare i say im setting my self a summer project)
any way speaking of projects... this week has been a total disastor.
my sculpture idea os something i planned on running with .
my tutor alexis seemed happy enough but then another tutor came over and totally ripped me to pieces and me , being the only child adolescent that i am didnt take very well to taht and kind of ran away .
im still kind of settled on this whole idea about moving and still .
and ive completed my narrative so im ahppy ina few respects .
im really starting to feel the pressure of time now though witha ll thsi mention of tidying spaces and hanging work and all this stuff.
i do not do wel under pressure really , i get all desperate for 'the right' idea , the perfect idea all this bollocks.
in other news i took more photos , and yes i did develop them my slef but only half a dozen came out! again i was gutted .
i develloped them anyway , i kind of worked on soe things alexis talked about in her little phography adavanced talk , i blurred edges ona few so they looked more like the person or the memory was disappearing , i developed some of the pictures at different times so half the picture is fully well developed and the other is half developed alot more faded etc. im kind of happy with this . hmm .
next week my plans mainly involve panicking.
