Final Drift 3 Film



In this film I attempted to portray man made structures in a detrimental state of solitude. I attempted to create for the audience a sense of isolation. This isolation can be seen as the main theme throughout my final cut.

Rough Cut Sketch 3



In this cut I compiled my film footage together, preparing it for my final edit.

Rough Cut Sketch 2


My second rough cut was of more photography, I still had not realized my final piece at this point, but I feel that it will encompass all of my rough sketches. I had not learned how to cut on beat at this point.

Rough Cut Sketch 1



In this rough cut I brought some still photography together, just attempting to lay everything out. The objective of my final drift film will be a compilation of these sketches.

Ten Questions

1. Was there anything I can use later in my film career? A specific shot? An idea for a shot?
2.Was there a specific still photograph that evoked emotion?
3.Where can I find a vast scape to photograph and engage?
4.What are the differences between photographing out to sea and into sea?
5. Is there and interesting area that shows human society in a detrimental state?
6. Is there an area of nature conflicting with man made objects?
7. Is there a interesting beach that can be accessed?
8.Is there a secluded area in a public one?
9. Are there any interesting trails?
10.Is there an interesting time of day to shoot?

Drift Assessment 4

I think my favorite experience was the one in which I learned something about film making on my own. By chance I came into contact with in on one of these drifts. That was my shot of the water, and refracting light.

Drift Assessment 3

I encountered three surprises during my drifts. The first of which was the discovery of at water park, which is a beautiful and picturesque portrait of landscape. The second suprise came in an unexpected form. I am a mountain biker, and while at a park down near the river I found some very cool trails. I will most likely shoot other scenes for later projects back there. The third surprise was the range of sounds you can hear within a block of each other. The sounds could range from simple piano to a full blown orchestra, to the rustling of leaves.
