week 13 & 14: music & video production

Video production:
Yes,yes the movie is finished and the pre-showing of our student films were very good! I've liked the development that everybody made trough druing this semester. If we just compare to our first and second movies we can see a huge difference between them! My movie came out pretty good (again), they might expected something different but I think that they liked my new movie too! The audio problems were solved and the music (that I was really worried about) came out perfect!
The movie showings at the theatre hall (official premiere :) was one of the biggest moments of my life yet. I've could never show my movies to this many people at the same time and wait for their reaction os one of the best adrenalin boosts! The movie had very good feedback at the premiere however it is still just a student movie, we have tried to do our bests!
Katalin did a great job and my brother did his acting supriseingly good!

Music:
The music class is over! Overall I think I've learned a lot! It might seemed that it's about pain and boreness for the entire semester but if I look back I'm glad that I've took this class! I would never check out these male opera singers (which were very awesome) and get this much background information about the classical music! I've really enjoyed that we were studying almost all genres of music (including film music)! The discussion about the music for our student films were probably the best class in the entire semester it was too bad that noone else brang their movie to class just me...
I recommend this class to all Arts Managers because we all knwo that 'a day without music is a lost day"

week 12: music & video production

Video production:
Finally the shooting is done! It was harder than I thought! The outside scenes at the lake were the hardest to shoot! The weather guy promised us sunshine which is perfect fort these scenes, unfortunately we got some forecast and rain! Furthermore the dark comes very soon this time of the season so we had to do these scenes very quickly!
Otherwise the shooting came out pretty good! We have more than 200 shots so it will be a big job to select the perfect scenes and cut them together. I've also experiencing troubles with the music for my movie... I cannot decide what to use etc...
The movie due next week and I've 5 days to finish it! YEah!

Music:
I've decided to cut the video instead of staying at the music class for the entire time.. Sorry!

week 11: music & video production

Video production:
Some major complications appeared during the shooting of some scenes! The entire work is a big mess... I've to develop a new schedule... The actors are very busy and the wheater is really rainy so the lake scenes will be re-scheduled to shoot next weekend! Until than I will begin to cut together the movie...

Music:
Today we were watching some video clips and performances from some rock and funky legends such as: Michael Jackson, Prince
I love Jacko, I've liked the class pretty much!

week 10: music & video production

Video production:
The shooting have begun! The actors are in the movie are my friends and the main lead is my brother! I'm a little bit scared about his acting since this will be his very first acting performance but I have to put some trust in him! The two other charachters are the dead wife and the extraordinary girl! Both girls are my good friends and since their job is not that complicated I think they will be fine! We have a very strong schedule for the shooting since we have to go to the lake to shoot the lake scenes and I only want to spend one they at the lake! The rest of the shooting will take place in Budapest!
I've already started to shoot some scenes about which work should go to the second unit :) Hope we will make it in time!
During the class Dr Phil was showing us some charachter introduction tequniques wich were very useful for me and I'm sure that I will use some of these in my project!

Music:
Today's class was cancelled! Unfortunately!

week 9: music & video production

Video production:
I am very glad that I teamed up with Katalin! She is a very nice girl and she also takes this film seriously! Not like Barbara Szabó who didn't even shows up in school anymore... Too bad for her! The idea for this next movie is finally developed! Synopsis: A wealthy gus in his mid 30s loses his wife and he decides to commit suicide under complicated circumstances! Short outline: A wealthy guy in his mid 30s loses his wife and he decides no to live anymore! After one year of struggling and pain he decides to ask a scientist to create him a serum which will kill him in approximately 60 days after that he have taken it! He moves to their lake house to spend the last 2 months of his life there, but he mets with an extraordinary womaen and he falls in love... however the serum is already inside of him...
Katalin and some other friends are responded well to this short story! I've decided to use narration to tell the story since we are short on audio recording equipment!
The shooting begins next week!

Music:
Today we were showing some tracks to our teacher and discussed them! I've picked Gabriella Climi's Sanctuary which is an enjoyable popp-jazz tune. The class didn't like it that much and the teacher also gave me some bad comments about my choice. I don't care, I think it's still a great song... In the rest of the class period we were watching some video clips and performances from some rock legends such as: Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Jamiroquai

week 8: music & video production

Video Production:

After we have showed to our teacher and to our class our videos it was really good to receive such a good feedback! Our next project for the following weeks is to create a 10 minute long video including dialogues!
This project will not have a story board since we do not have enough time to do it, but the script and the outline is mandatory!
My groupmates are Barbara Szabó the star of my first movie and Katalin Bíró!
I've already have some ideas! I'm really looking forward to this next project also!

Music:
Since we have discussed the previous opera the following weeks are going to be in class! This time we were focusing on the opera singers and male opera singers! We have listened to many famous operas and learned about some very famous italian male opera singers!
