awesome

My storyboard, of course

Masterpiece.

Also notice how dumb I am on the "Names" subheading - and how I assess the situation, dealing with it appropriately.

Straight up

Basically 'The Sect' is gonna blow your MIND.

p.s. who's that  devastatingly good looking chap sitting next to the blonde kid >:)

Thriller Inspirations

Here are some brilliant pieces of inspiration when considering our genre choice (thriller). There are some ideal elements we need to consider, and each of these films encompass at least one of the facets we need to look at.

So many problems!

Problem number ONE: Logging in to blogger!

Basically, for some crazy reason, I thought it'd be clever to register with the email address I rarely use, rather than my personal, every day email address. Secondly I had to register with a 6 letter 2 figure password, as does everyone, though I've only ever had one password to memorize and it's not nearly that long.

Problem number TWO: moodle made me change my password. Now I can't remember it because it had to have something along the lines of 4 lower-case and 4 upper-case letters, and about 6 numbers. So, I'll be getting on to Mr. Fish.

Problem number THREE: I have been attempting regularly to complete my continuation piece, sir. It's doing the no sound thing again. This means that I can't find appropriate shots to use, and unnecessary shots to delete. I might need some help with this, come tomorrow lunch time. I'm sorry this has taken so long, but I have been staying late on a couple of occasions to rectify this, and it IS my own fault not to have made the effort to find you in the Media Studies room. For this I apologise and any help you can grant me would be greatly GREATLY appreciated. :(

Good news: There's only two problems left.

Thank you and good night. Also sir, I never replied to your comment regarding the pleasure I gain from listening to discordant electronic music. The simple answer is, I hold a great appreciation for the different; it interests me. This is a sweeping statement, but it keeps me listening. As a result of this, and the less obvious answer, is that I listen deeply to and appreciate the production value of all music. This, however, is the genre that impacts me the deepest. It needn't be 'deep' music to touch me. It could quite easily be some filthy dirty drum and bass made by a 20-something Russian man in his bedroom, where he lives with his parents. And that's more or less exactly what it is :)

Media Consumption Day 8:

Today I had life drawing at school! Old naked man, 4:30-6:30... HOT STUFF >:)

I enjoyed it, though. I feel like I've learned something of the integrity and traditionalism of art, rather than the new-fangled processes I've otherwise involved myself in, in this form of creativity, of late.

Once I got home, I carried on with some photography work, and read a little bit of Birdsong, that book I was kinda made to read, though mind you, it's fun.

After I was done doing all THAT, I started listening to some music, I'm particularly enjoying:

iDOLEAST - Defeat Us Feat. RoSt

right now. It's a really weird sounding tune, but pretty SIIIIIICK nonetheless. I KNOW if this is going up on the board in class, all of you lot are just gonna laugh at my word choice. To be perfectly honest I reckon it'll be the back row. You mugs >:(

But yeah, JUST NOW, I've started re-working my latest tune. It's pretty heavy right now. Absence of bass in drum and bass means just drums. This isn't necessarily a bad thing!

OK I'M DONE GOODNIGHT GUYZ :)

Media Consumption Day 5, 6 + 7:

The weekend (and Monday)! Finally! Wonderful, except for the fact that I was ill the entire time. During this time I spent my few moments awake fine-tuning my newest track, using Logic Pro 8 and Reason Air 4.0 (as you asked), Reason for effects and sequencing, Logic for EQ'ing and mixdown, and I spent quite a lot of the time playing a new game that - thanks to its fantastic advertising on the Playstation Store - I bought for only £12: Wipeout HD. If you have a PS3 and you've ever enjoyed the amazing design or just overall fun of a wipeout title, BUY THIS. It's one of the best investments I've ever made with my brother's money.

Thanks BRO.

That, unfortunately, is all I've done this weekend, and Monday.

edit: also, sorry I posted this AT THE SAME TIME as the post above. I've not been busy as such, just a tad bit forgetful. It's all here in the fullest though. I like typing. Especially with this iMac keyboard. It's nice on the touch. yumyum.
