Week 12: Bye bye!

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls of all ages…welcome back to my final blog post! In my final week I was hastily wrapping up my final deliverable, the short film. The short film (Let’s Go for a Dream Walk) is about a young writer with writer’s block and sleeping trouble. As a final deadline approaches, they get some pills from their therapist to help them sleep. These pills allow the young writer to enter a dream state. I used my research knowledge and editing skills to portray the real world as very bleak and cold with cooler colors such as blues and desaturated tones. In the dream world, I depict it as idealistic and perfect with bright warm yellows and a soft contrast.

Apart from my final deliverable I created my final research presentation which I rehearsed three times before presenting. I’m fairly happy with it, I got the technicians at the venue I presented at to help me with colors and lighting for the introduction which I think turned out very well.

It’s been a fantastic journey and I have developed so much more knowledge which I will happily take with me to my next adventures in college. I thank BASIS for this amazing research opportunity, I thank Ms. Davies for being such a wonderful advisor and a delight to work with, and I thank Matt Sprouse for allowing me to intern for him and his company.

Until next time, this is Axel over and out.
