30 seconds development piece for DCP

This was quite challenging in the aspect of selecting the pieces of clip that fitted with the music. I sampled 30seconds of music from a piece of music i quite liked as the piece im using is in the process of being created/composed for my final 3-6min piece.

I felt this was good to do in ways that helped me get ideas from my head onto paper onto film edited up for a trial run... I feel im getting more attached with the makeup and using it well.

This also featured home made blood mixed with Golden Syrup and water colour controlled with red, green and blue food colouring. My actor said it was rather sticky and when the wind hit it began to harden on his skin. But it really pulled off the effect of blood as well as it being edible for the shot where my actor 'coughs up blood'

In all i think i know what i need to perfect as i wear glasses and my vision isnt 20/20 i found it quite hard to figure out on a 3inch screen on the back of the Nikon D3100 cameras with a basic lens was quite difficult for me to see if the footage was in focus... so i had to dabble about to find the best settings that suited me. Other than that i would be happy to use a dslr as a video camera again for something like this... maybe even stabilise the footage or use some sort of steadicam rig.
