The Case for Chelsea Black

The tale of a teenage dreamer.

'To answer David Bowies’ question; ‘is there life on Mars’? Well there may not be life on Mars but there is a life on Earth that may as well be from Mars. Take the lives of the inner city kids for instance: descendents of the post-war boom in single parent culture and concrete home replacements, the rise of the tenement, the council estates and mountains of rubbish; chronic alcoholism and drug culture, victims of continuous social reforms and economics. 

There’s is the legacy of unfulfilled dreams.

Chelsea is a product of this design'.......  

Its funny how things pan out during the day. Having talked about our (the class) new end of year productions and goals it's so interesting to finally hear where our true interests lie. The door opens and suddenly your back to your old creative self again. The group have fun discussing each other's projects and it becomes obvious from here on  who you will be looking to work with for your final project. Very exciting days ahead and of course, much work.
I've been writing my project for the last year but of course although the heart of the project is there the rest is in note form and with an initial presentation in 2 weeks I will start by dissecting the notes (and mountain of audio) and plan to shoot two trial scenes with principal actress and 2 male extras. I have had enough experience to know that very little in life runs smoothly so let battle commence....YKT

Woops

Oh dear,
I'm new to this and appear to be following my own blog which is completely boring! Had one of those mornings! Went in to college only to find the lesson was cancelled, I guess  it's one of the hazards of being part-time. Have now been studying for 3 and a half years altogether and wonder when I'll ever finish. Being part-time isn't really much fun as you're always in between years and therefore never really get to bond properly with colleagues. Sometimes I think 'what the e hell am I doing this for'? after all it's not as if I'm starting a career! and by the time I graduate I'll be nearly 56 years young and almost due to retire. I guess it's all credit to our system that I even have the chance to study for which I am very grateful....Oh well good morning all...

The Films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Jeunet is probably one of my favourite Film makers. I was introduced to his flamboyant work in his 1991 film 'Delicatessen; whose story segues between nightmare and fairytale, as it follows the residents of an apartment block above a butchers shop. With animal meat in short supply, the menacing butcher has begun to look elsewhere for fresh stock. Unfortunately for him, his lovelorn daughter alerts the troglodytes -a group of sewer-dwelling vegetarian rebels - to his cannibalistic goings on.
Jeunet teams with Marc Caro to create the post-apocalyptic scenario.
