HSC Art

What I failed to update on my blog was that I am going through the gruelling process of pre-producing a short film for HSC Art. I started preparation at the end of last year and have since made my way through two very different ideas and settled on the second. During the summer holidays, I found some time to do some filming from the script of my first idea but have since realised this footage will no longer be used. The new idea is largely based on the Hitchcock' classic thriller 'Rear Window' and follows an evening in the life of Tasman Gyngell, an alcoholic novelist struggling to overcome writer's block. He uses the people in surrounding apartments and imagined relatives to work as inspiration for his crime novel.
I am looking largely to the Film Noir period for how I want to compose the shots, and the lighting within them and have become fond of the works of Wes Anderson to how my direction and characters will play out. I plan to start filming it in the following weeks for a submission of progress on the 26th. Below are some images from the shooting in the holidays that will no longer be used.
