Having missed one of the 'Final cut pro' lessons, i had a look on youtube to see if i could find any good animatics.. Mine itself will be pretty simple, so the ones i have found will be what i aiming for..

Research: Related adverts
So as i have decided to make my storyboard an advert for the new robodog, i am going to look at adverts for new tools or related items that i feel could help me with my own design.
I also want to look at the area in which the advert will be filmed. I want to use the idea that they have in the dyson adverts, where there is no background or area, therefore the viewers eyes will not leave the robodogs.
(Best advert i have ever seen :))

Final idea for Story-Telling
So i have finally come to a decision on my storyboard.. My two previous ideas were good, but far too long.. With help from Phil my decision has been made..
The scene opens with the new robotic super dog appear, like in an advert with a man in the background saying ' ROBODOG (NOT ACTUAL NAME YET) he will never let you down'
The animatic then shows different things he can do from fighting to helping their owners out with the chores around the house. With the man's voice narrating through.
Then the last scenes says every robodog is made with a real dogs brain within it.. With the narrator sayiing the company will not be held responsible for; Attacks on owners, Brain fluid leakage and other funny comments, with his voice dying out at the end.
My sketches will be posted soon

Psycho (1960)
Obviously the film is famous for the 'shower scene', but it is also the starting point where all horror films have spawned from. I have seen this many times, but when i first watched the film, the way Hitchcock hid the old womans identity for the majority of the film was amazing.. I really thought his mum was the actual murderer..
The trailer for this is amazing!
I enjoy this film a lot more compared to the newer horror films, this is mainly due to the fact that Hitchcock makes his films with tact and class as well as keeping a great story line.. Many horror films you see these days are just full of blood and guts and have no real meaning...
Hitchcock is a genius!

Rope (1948)
Even though in my opinion this film isn't one of Hitchcock's greatest films, it could be one of his most important ones.. The way he basically used one continuous shot for the whole film was something that had never been done before.. There are in fact a few shots in this film because of how long a roll of film could be, but he hides the cuts very well...
I enjoyed this film because mainly of the two main characters Brandon and Phillip.. Even though there are no references to it in the film, they seem as if they are a couple and possibly live together..
One thing annoyed me was how 'Rupert' was working certain things out, it should never have really come into his mind about certain things if he didn't know anything was going on... Only the audience should have known these details

Saint Bernard dogs
The Saint Bernard is a breed of dog that was bred for rescue.. It has become famous over time because of stories of rescue as well its large size. Using its rescuing feature i will use it as something for my story..

Cutting Edge
Quick post about yesterdays documentary. I found it really interesting and some of the editors that spoke were really inspirational and made me want to become an editor.. It seems like a bit of a hidden gem within the industry and even though the editor has come to prominence since the likes of Verna Fields, i still feel that nobody truly understands how much they do for the film..
The image below is of the Moviola, it was the original editing machine and was how all of the old films were put together, we have come a long way since the use of this, computers are a lot more helpful and accurate..
Another thing in the documentary that surprised me, was how sexist the industry was in the days of Verna Fields and such characters. Walter Murch said that the industry felt that editing was a more womanly job, it was like stitching, sewing or any other delicate jobs, whereas the men would be introduced when sound came into the equation because it was more of a mans job.. This made me laugh..
Listening to people like Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott talk was really insightful, and knowing how much an editor actually did took me by surprise a little. Quentin Tarantino is just crazy, his over the top actions and the way he talks is amazing..
