About Me!!!!

My photo
My name is Joshua Freeland and as you may have guessed this is my blog. I live in east london (sadly) and attend a sixth form in Barking. Im not going to preech like other people about how 'media has changed my life forever, and that I would swap my my cat for a camera, but I will say that I think this subject gets a lot if slack whichit dont deserve it. In my experience I have had amazing teachers and even better peers. I hope what you find something here that will teach you just how effective media can be......Love the Freeland

Pictures Speak Louder than Words

The reason behind this short movie was to experiment with the power of images. With the theme of our five minute movie being silent, it was important that I stat to get a feel of how to make a short movie powerful without words. My pre-production consisted of coming up with a theme and then working out how i was going to execute my message to the audience. During this period I started to realise that when creating a movie you can usually get lost in the agenda of creating that very 'important' message. I started to learn that its not always about the message but more importantly the feeling. Without the right atmosphere you loose the focus of your audience. This is why when shooting the photo's I tried to think ahead and ask questions of myself , such as why would this image make you feel anger or why would it make you feel remorse. This was a very important learning curve for me and hope to adopt this idea into my upcoming short movie.
