Production
Confusion, Edits and Pipelines
I've been battling with myself whether to write this or not, but unfortunately, I feel I have to as it is affecting my work. Before Christmas and at this stage my confidence is fluctuating constantly and quite often don't feel I'm receiving enough support from tutors. I ask for help/ask for a tutorial and PROMISED and it's cancelled or put off, mainly because the same student is being seen and seems to get priority over everyone else or it's forgotten about even though I remind them through out the day. It has happened for around 3 months now. Also, in the least pathetic sounding way possible, for some reason on a Tuesday even when a tutor is going round the 3rd year to help them, register order, I'm walked past and ignored..the only one in the room, why me? I shouldn't take it personally, but it's beginning to get very difficult not to. At this stage I'm even starting to think they've been told not to help me and I don't even think this is an impossible scenario! This has happened every single time so far, so I'll have to jump around in front of them next time, whilst everyone else is casually approached. Mean while, I tried to ask for help several times and I've been told I'm "too talented" and therefore don't need any help... I don't know how else to write this, it sounds awful but those are the words. Instead I've been asking for more advice from friends in class and this has been quite helpful. I feel very frustrated and alienated as I don't feel like I'm doing as well as I could be, and I want to discuss the direction of my film with the tutors who have said they specialise in certain aspects. I'm not exactly the most confident of people and I just don't know what to say to get the input from them. I don't want to have to dance around for attention, to get a good grade and I'm not going to. I guess there are still about 4 months so I'll see what happens.
I'm now in production and am going to take the concepts and change the perspective a bit. I'm also going to think about colour, temperature, tonal-values and scale in more detail. I'm posting updated edits, colour pallets and references.
Colour and Temperature
At the moment I'm looking at the Cave layout and deciding what kind of element I want the rocks to be made out of. I know I want there to be a clash in colour, in order to show a change in temperature; the heat will obviously be from the sun and the coolness from it being a cave, underground. So, I could use a yellowy-orange, I guess a Champagne kind of hue, to represent the sun beaming in from the cave entrance. Then I'll use shades of Blue and perhaps Purple for the rocks and body of the cave. I want it to be icy cold, in fact, frozen. I'm still unsure whether to put a human figure in somewhere to help with a sense of scale- I'll think about that in post-production.
