About Me

My photo
Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Im Chris, Im a student, I have a unique take on the world and therefore the ability to create a pretty amusing blog...but that remains to be seen. Hopefully you enjoy what I have to talk/rant about. In case you wanted to know a bit about me; I play a few instruments and enjoy mountain biking, photography and drawing. I despise football in the highest degree and find the vast majority of the global population to be complete morons.

A2, Post 4: Photo set 1

OK, so they may not be wild, unpredictable and free-ranging, but it's a start. The following are a few recently taken stills of 3 of my rabbits, they're not particularly impressive but as I said earlier, it's a start;  


A2, Post 3: Experiments

As part of my project this year, I am going to have to dramatically improve my skills with recording equipment; So, over the next few months I will produce and post some practice clips of wildlife. Some of these clips have already been filmed ('stock footage' from holidays gone by), so I will also be able to compare how my filming has improved.
I am also experimenting with wildlife photographs, again to get used to cameras, but also to practice getting close enough to animals to produce worthwhile results, most of which will also posted.

A2, Post 2: Inspiration

Having recently posted a presentation outlining my plan for the year, this post should make things clearer as it contains the links to the promotional trailers mentioned in the PowerPoint:
Having watched the trailers...I should hope that my intentions are now somewhat more understandable, and just how ambitious this project could be.

(The links to these will be available in the side bar in the near future)

A2, Post 1, Advanced Portfolio plan

A2 Media Studies, Portfolio Plan (Scribd)

A2 Media Studies, intro

OK, here we go again. Only this time I really do know what I'm doing. Over the course of the next year I will be posting regular updates regarding my progress with A2 Media as well as a few film reviews etc...

Shortly a power point will be posted illustrating my plan of action and how I hope to achieve my goals.

Existing posts will remain on the blog for all to see, mainly for my benefit so that i can compare my AS and A2 work, and all posts regarding this year's courses will be labelled from scratch. (post 1 of A2 will be called Post 1 etc...)
