Task for this project
To begin with, I was given a code (634.1) for a book which I would have to find the Bristol Central Library.
The book I was assigned is the one which you can see on the left.
For this project, I am to give my own personal response and interpretation of the book in the form of either a printed document or a 90 second to 5 minute movie/documentary about the book.
I read the book in its entirety and it wasn't something that appealed to me in any way. However, I was determined to create something visually creative and stunning to portray my interpretation.
The next step for me was to decide which avenue I am going to take to make this project work. Either create my interpretation in a printed form or through visual media.

Storyboard for the filming process
How I am going to film it
To be different and yet at the same time unique, I have decided to go back to basics in filming my interpretation of the book.
My approach to this film will be done in the process of using a Super 8 Camera.
I remember using one before and have been waiting a while to have the chance to use one for my graphics work. There is just something about working with camera film that I love. Digital filming makes everything too simple for me. I need a challenge for this project.
Working with this camera and 8mm film will help me achieve this challenging goal and hopefully give me a final result which I know I can be exceptionally proud of

Now I have a Super 8 camera
possible music choices
Music choices for the films should definitely reflect the theme as well as the topic of the book. Browsing for some suitable music media will be tricky. This may take a while. I'll come back to this later.
