Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of posting over the course of the summer and early school weeks (In terms of production diaries). I know that it has been a long time, but it means that I can talk about a lot more over the next few entries.
Work for "The unfortunate life of James Flint" is coming along nicely. A lot of lesson time has been spent doing research tasks, which have all given me a more than adequate amount of inspiration for filming. The research tasks have vaired, from creating mood boards, to looking at films that personally inspire us. I found the film inspiration to be most helpful, because I could list down films that I would love to be able to recreate, as well as give my reasons. One of the films that I absolutely adore is "The huge snooze" by Ciaran Davis. Ciaran was a student here at Haydon School just like me, and is actually a very close friend. The fact that a film of this quality was produced by someone of my age gives me the confidence I need to be able to gain the highest grade as possible. If you have not done so already, then watch it. It will blow your mind.
The research and planning does not end there though. Last week, I presented my ideas for my short film to my A2 media class and teacher. In the presentation, I explained the plot of my story, the audiences and some shots that I would like to recreate, before answering questions and getting feedback from my peers. I found the results to be most conclusive.

Storyboarding is now in full throttle and will be completed sooner than expected. I would once again like to say sorry for the lack of posting on the blog, I can assure you that there will be more to come. Thank you for staying with me on this journey!
Until next time, thank you!
