This is a link to the first job i looked at the was of interest to me. It is a job as a cinematographer for several months working on several projects. The work is unpaid but it would be a good place to start as it will give me experience on a film set. The shoot will mostly be on weekends which is idle for me because i have college on weekdays. The application process is pretty straight forward, they said they are not looking for a professional showreel but they do want to say some work you have done. So i could apply with some college projects i have done in the past. I think this job would be a great opportunity to get a better look at what it is like to work in the film world and also give me experience for later jobs. This jobs does not require a lot of experience and is there for a great starting point to learn.

This is a link to the 2nd job i looked at. This would be a job that i would apply for later down the line. The job is as a Final Cut Pro editor to edit 3 minute short corporation films for a healthcare company. After this project he has low budget films he wants to make and says if this project goes well that you can work together on his next films. This job is paid and when you apply you have to put in a showreel of work you have done. He is looking for someone who is experienced in final cut pro. I have only been fought in final cut for a year so this is a type of job i would apply for later on down the line when i know how to use it more.

This is the last job i looked at. This is a chance to get your screenplays published. The company are looking to make 2-5 minute short horror films. You have to write the script for them, this work is not paid but again it is a chance to get your work produced and a good place to start in short films if you are looking to go into feature films. Also again it is experience. The application for this is easy all you need to do is send in your script for the film. They are picking 6 films to make so the competition will be stiff but it is all for experience.

Fight club Reshot

In pauls lesson we had to reshoot a iconic movie image from a scene. We chose a scene from fight club.

This is the shot we chose to recreate. We had a good idea of how the lighting was going to look like and luckily in the studio we had a light that looked exactly the same as the one in the shot, We couldn't get the actors tall enough as they are in the shot though, so we got tables and chairs and got the actors to stand up on them so they resembled the high of the characters.

This is we what we go
