some new Photography...

I bought a mini-stills-camera off a friend of mine, which is actually Waterproof. I've been interested in Photography since I was a kid, so I thought it might be useful to have something I can carry around. It's pretty convenient, and I was lucky to capture a hot Sunset up here in Prahran, on Chapel Street, about a week ago.

Since the 'theme colour' for the film is yellow, I thought I could use some of these photos and clips in the End Credits, to add some colour to the 'rolling credits'. The Film will still have a lot of different colours featuring as important, particularly for the different Settings. The simplest way to put it is the Fairytale-style Exterior Scenes where there is lots of natural life, the main colours would be peaceful Green with Blue, whereas inside the Venues, where you'd expect people to be enjoying Music, or Games such as cards, it would possible be more red. The Venues, and Interior Set-Dressing ideas also have more of a Dynamic Colour Range, but the Exterior Sunsets can always balance this out.

This photo was taken at the Tram-Stop on Dandenong Road, near Chapel Street. I've noticed a lot of pale-yellow Sunsets lately, I just wish I could capture them all...some other interesting ideas could come out off a sole building (tower-size) where there's been deep yellow sunsets, but still subtle enough for the simplicity of the view.

This is the Tree outside our window, which you've seen mostly likely before. We get some great Sunsets, especially since we're not so far from the Beach. That's why I want to incorporate aspects like that into the Film and its settings. I've worked out that by using multiple sets to construct Daniel's Flat, our room would be the downstairs Bedroom.

Anyway, everyone, I might give you an update about some of the movies I've been seeing, and some interesting TV shows, later this week. I've noticed heaps of things in Films I wouldn't have thought of straight away, that triggered ideas for many little elements that could still be included in the Film.

Have a good night, or week...
