For my RED project I aim to challenge myself in the role as Director of Photography/Cinematographer; this is a role that I've yet to undertake. For the module I will be taking on two separate projects that will challenge me in different ways within the same job role.
My first project is working on a music video for local band ‘Cheating Jack Ketch’; I will be working with Damian Suparasiri (Director/Editor), Robert Cooper (Lighting) and Ross Carter (Camera) on this project. For me this challenge will be to try and create the visual style that director Damian specifically wants; this will mean filming in colour so that when Damian goes into the edit he is able to get the high contrasts that he is looking for the final piece. This will be me working on a visual style that I’m being told to create with little freedom and working with Lighting (Rob) in a studio environment.
The second project is working collaboratively with Joe Tippett (Director) and Bob Brice (Art Director) on a short film called ‘After Arcadia’. Part of the challenge that I’ve got to overcome is working closely with Joe and Bob to creating a vision of a post apocalyptic world on camera. As the film will be solely shot outdoors, I’ve restricted myself to only working with natural light to try and achieve the best visual outcome in camera so when the film goes into post production, it will be easier and more productive to apply colour correction to the footage. This is also going to be part of my role to take on the role of colour correction in post production.
I hope to gain a wide range of different experiences of working in the role of D.O.P/Cinematographer and looking to experiment with camera set ups and colour correction and also see the difference of working to create a Director’s specific predetermined style and also have the freedom to create my own vision of someone else’s film.
