Screen Arts III Chapter I Review I: Brawl in Cell Block 99

For ages now I've wanted to watch the movie Brawl in Cell Block 99 , the title sound offputting and looking at the hard copy cover art makes that name seem even more like a shitty grindhouse movie than it did. However the director is what intrigued me so much about the project, he is a writer turned director who makes movies on his own accord, fully auteurist. These posters are so fucking bad, they do the movie an injustice. I was interested in the movie because of the rave reviews it had gotten and because of his previous debut feature: the western horror Bone Tomahawk . I didn't think an amazing amount of the movie upon first seeing it but have come to see the great parts about it because of the number of YouTubers who sing its praises. Red Letter Media made a video that cemented the movie as unique and special in my mind, and encouraged me further to check out the directors' other work: Finally, I was pushed over the edge by what I heard abo...

Internship: Chapter I - Southern Smash 2020

On the 1st and 2nd of February, I was approached to film a disc golf competition (Southern Smash 2020) held in Queen's Park for The DGS (Disc Golf South) Facebook Page. Following in the steps of SIT Graduate Matthew Butler, I not only got offered the job through his connections in the disc golf community and his involvement in the competition itself, but I also asked him to show me what he produced for the last year and what kind of settings he used on the FS5 (the camera that I got hired out for the event from SIT Pro). I also had to meet with the leader of the Disc Golf South institute, Jonny Ferrari. I met with him some days before the filming to talk to him about what he wanted with the video: he told me what Matthew did the last year was fine and that I could just do whatever I wanted. The assessment boiled down to just roughly documenting the tournament and editing together a montage of sorts showing the players doing their thing. Southern Smash 2019 Video: https:/...

Digital Three : Back to Mapping

I went back to https://badbootjebotoxbopresentsbsa3yall.blogspot.com/2020/02/research-iii-chapter-i-part-iii-short.html this blog post, which I did at the beginning of the project, where I highlighted what I wanted to achieve and broke down the story pretty deftly. So what did I lose sight of in my treatment? 1) The way it reads in this blog with her discovering the paintings is much better, it says that they were self-painted and I think I should change it for the second draft to be more like this, keep it more ambiguous as to the nature of these paintings and suggest that maybe it's just her sister's artistic nature showing. Make Olive's reaction more of a knowing eyebrow raise. 2) The sister should be more opposed to her watching the tapes, making things more mysterious as to why not and as an audience, we'd feel more inclined to keep watching in order to find out what's on them. Maybe have her go through a couple of tapes, she starts investigating a bit ...
