SHORT MOVIE
NOOKS AND CRANNIES
"Sometimes reality is the strangest fantasy of all"(Blow up, 1966)
Fluxus - short conceptual movies from
sixties, which I assume as one of the most interesting movement in a history of
movies because they forces us think about 30 seconds long movie that are very
quick and unclear. In addition artist they haven’t played with perfect shadows,
special effects they just played with reality and clear idea which they wanted
to tell us. Difficult decision. It was for everybody because it was ordinary.
On the other hand, it is true? Because all the short movies are high level of
conceptualism so I suppose most of people even haven’t liked them so, another
question is - for whom will I make my movie?
Tiny spaces, secrets and mysterious,
where they are? Options are abounded places, botanic garden and fairness. We
suppose keep a secret and we won't tell anyone about that. But what if it is
more difficult and complicated and we are not strong enough. Stories behind us
are floating. Old buildings around us give us unique opportunity to think about
the story behind us, past, present and future. Ghost around us...
7 deadly sins - gambling, drunkenness,
envy. Love, cheating. Our little secrets in our life’s and our life are in our
mind. Short/Fast/Again. Process of finding solutions for the ideas.
IDEAS
CONCEPT - nooks and crannies as a metaphorical
synonym for SECRETs in our mind combine with HIDDEN PLACES, abounded places
across with "new, future and very useful" buildings, secrets behind
the walls, sexual deviation, etc., Repetitive annoying music, around, circles.

An old silent pond
a frog jumps into thepond
splash! silence again
autumn moonlight
a warm digs silently
into the chestnut
lighting flash
what I was though were faces
are plumes of pampas grass
KOBAYASKI ISSA
everything I touch
with tenderness, alas,
pricks like a bramble
Out of this ugliness may come
some day, so beautiful a flower
that men will wonder at that hour,
remembering smoke and flowerless slum and ask,
glimpsing the agony
of the slaves who wreste to be free
'but why were all the poets dumb?'

Looking over my shoulder
my behind was covered

These Two
That tree said
I dont like that white car under me,
it smells gasoline
That other tree next to it said
O you're always complaining
you're neurotic
you can see by the way you're bent over

I began to feel my misery in pallet on floor, listening
to music, my misery, that's why I wanted to sing.
The room closed down on me, I expected the presence
of the Creator, I saw my gray painted walls and
ceiling, they contained my room, they contained my room, they contained
me as the sky contained my garden

Movie made by Mike Cathill with amazing shots and angles.
Places which I consider as possible spots for shooting.
ACRE HOUSESited to the north of the city at the edge of Maryhill, Acre House is a circa 1880 house which was most recently used by Glasgow University as student accomodation. Having lain empty since 2004 the building has suffered numerous break-ins and vandalism culminating in a recent major fire which destroyed the roof, interior and left the building in an utterly derelict burnt out and somewhat perilous state.
The building is constructed of blond sandstone ashlar with Italian renaissance influenced stylings, with a three storey tower at the north-east corner.
street address: 100 Acre Road, Glasgow, G20 0TL
Abandoned Gartloch Insane Asylum, Glasgow
Victorian-era lunatic asylums were typically foreboding structures. But Gartloch Hospital in Glasgow took this to the extreme and looks like the setting of a Gothic horror movie. While some wings of the abandoned hospital have been converted into luxury apartments, the main administration building, complete with twin towers that bear an uncanny resemblance to Sauron’s helmet, remains derelict. In this article, we take a look within the crumbling walls of the former Glasgow asylum.After this document I decided I wont be able go there alone even if the building are wonderful!!!
The Old Hillhead Primary School
Tunnels under the botanic garden and around Glasgow
Grahamston is a forgotten piece of Glasgow history. It vanished beneath the foundations of Glasgow Central Station more than 100 years ago, but its memory lives on in buildings, in street patterns and not least in the urban legend of an abandoned village beneath the platforms of Scotland’s busiest railway station.
In his fascinating book, local historian Norrie Gilliland brings Grahamston back to life and shows the important role it played in the growth of Glasgow. This book is required reading for everyone who thinks they know Glasgow and its history, for those who use Central Station and for everyone who likes a good detective story.
Norrie Gilliland has unearthed Glasgow’s buried treasure … the forgotten story of Grahamston and its vital role in Glasgow history.
“Thanks to Norrie Gilliland, the village of Grahamston, now partially buried beneath the pile of Central Station, is not so much forgotten as hidden. In his capable hands the community is brought back to life.” – Edward J. Cowan, Professor of Scottish History, University of Glasgow
Unfortunatelly, all the ways to the old railway station are fill because of people as me.. Although, I was very scared more than frightness I felt excitment, probably I would like go more around glasgow and find more places and through the old places discover more about glasgow history and mentality there...

I shouldnt go anywhere I suppose not to go otherwise I can myself into a trouble.If I am in any kind of problem I just can said that I am from GSA and all the problems are solve.
PROCESS
I choose premiere pro for my project because I already knew how to edit videos and kind of familiar with the software more than aftereffects and I dont like imovie. For my
Reaper
I wanted use Ableton for music editing but finally I had problem with my cracked software so I used reaper instead of stolen Ableton, it is working as well as the other software.
Ableton
Finally, I found a way how to use Ableton and export all of my sounds from it - so I used the sound from ableton for my second video.

Shot Types
There is a convention in the video, film and television industries which assigns names and guidelines to common types of shots, framing and picture composition. The list below briefly describes the most common shot types (click the images for more details).
Notes:
- The exact terminology varies between production environments but the basic principles are the same.
- Shots are usually described in relation to a particular subject. In most of the examples below, the subject is the boy.
- See below for more information and related tutorials.
EWS (Extreme Wide Shot)
The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.
VWS (Very Wide Shot)
The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.
WS (Wide Shot)
The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.
AKA: long shot, full shot.
MS (Mid Shot)
Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.
MCU (Medium Close Up)
Half way between a MS and a CU.
CU (Close Up)
A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.
Cut-In
Shows some (other) part of the subject in detail.
CA (Cutaway)
A shot of something other than the subject.
Two-Shot
A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.
(OSS) Over-the-Shoulder Shot
Looking from behind a person at the subject.
Noddy Shot
Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject.
Point-of-View Shot (POV)
Shows a view from the subject's perspective.
Weather Shot
The subject is the weather. Can be used for other purposes, e.g. background for graphics.
