Portfolio Exercise 7 – Notes and comments on viewed pieces of work.
Henry Cole – Sickend Garden
Grey/Slow moving, not much understanding of what is happening within the 10 shots.
There wasn’t any audio when we first watched the Sickend Garden I assumed that the sounds would have been quite eerie with sound effects such as rustling leaves and crunching of leaves. Second time round watching the movie the sound had been fixed and found that there was a heavy metal/rock sound track over the shots. Very unexpected.
Todd Gledhill – After Death
Abstract with animation within the shots camera movement was good, showing the pixelated shot zooming out from the animated shot to the original image of the dog. Again there was no audio on the original viewing however second time round, the audio was very fitting for a film featuring death.
Blaise Hure
Good story being followed, well composed, good sound/shots/lighting. First impressions that is was very dark but I decided that it all fitted in quite well, showing the wake up from darkness to light.
James Wolley
First impression was, ‘not another morning lest get out of bed and make breakfast film. However the making of an edam sandwich in a dream, made the film a lot more interesting and amusing. The audio track was well composed and fitted well to the selection of shots used.

Portfolio Exercise 7
Sequence of Skills with Audio Track

“I AM HUNGRY”
Following the daily days eating habits of Joe Bloggs. From waking till sleeping.
Joe walks up to a big stretch and yawn, ready for breakfast he makes his way downstairs to the kitchen. He cooks up some toast, a cuppa and grabs a tangerine. He sits down and eats his breakfast before moving back to the kitchen to clean up the mess he made.
Feeling fully energised now he leaves the house ready for work. At work he feels the hunger settling in, so Joe walks to the shop buys his lunch and finds a bench to sit and fill that spot of hunger, once finished he finds a bin to put all his lunch time waste in. Off back to work.
Nearing the end of his working day Joe again begins to feel hungry; he packs up his desk and makes his way home, ready to prepare his evening meal.
Joe cooks off his dinner, sits down and chows down. Before filling that need to sleep, he takes his dirty plates to the kitchen and finds himself almost ending the day as it begun. Once he’s tidied up evening meal mess, he takes himself off to bed and goes to sleep.
