Pshhh 8am in the morn i wake up and drag myself out of bed as usual.
I've got to do this for the flea market i say to myself.
Leave house at 9am and meet charlotte at piccadilly bus station.
On our way to get bus to OldHam. Took about 40 mins to get there, and the whole journey feeling lost, was lost, asked bus driver twice.
Got out lost again looked at map, still lost, asked taxi driver, still a bit lost, walked round the corner there it was literally less than 2mins from the bus station, woop woop, excitement excitement, disappointment, disappointment.
Wahhh i pictured a really big open space with lots of junk and antique and bang, i get a junk yard, not quite what i pictured, with crap in a bad way, but we did see some cool stuff.
Like i got myself a massive knitting needle. YES. Picture on the way.
Lots and lots of jewellery and furniture!!! But my main goal was to take back a bike with me, but that never happened so me and charlotte never got a bike or record player.
Oldham really is well weird, everything about the place it's like as if it was built for old people we hardly saw any young people and when we did they were all scary looking. It felt like a seaside resort minus the sea, plus with al the burger stalls and candyfloss.
I managed to pick up a copy of fly tho, so worth the visit i guess, and some veg from a fruit and veg stall, bless the guy he was so nice.
Got back to the house and made pancakes for my version of pancake weds. Woop Errrr yoghurt and pear, yoghurt and banana with extra topping of sugar and icing sugarrr yummm. We didn't have no ice cream or anything or choc suace gutted. I was making dinner whilst landlord came to fix stuff no internet since coming back, its back on now tho woop.
House viewing tomorrow!!!! Group tutorial tomorrow.

Come dine with me!
Our dinner party was rather successful. We ate and we drank and explored and the usual. We had lovely curry made from scratch by Hanna and i did the tables, it was more a welcome dinner thing for our new housemate Marina. She moved in yesterday and has brought along with her lots of things, and bringing her own personal touch to the house, i really like the paintings she has brought with her and the one in the kitchen, the colour compliments each other and the kitchen and has brighten things up a lot.
I've been talking to Marina and we have the same interests, being creative in general, and just making things, i love the Cath Kidson bag she has as well and all the nicely patterned things she has. Awww shes sooo nice, i really enjoyed the dinner. Hmm yeah tomorrow i will do more work hopefully. I think i will go to bed now, everyone seems to have gone home or to sleep and im quite tired and want to wake up in time for tomorrows meeting, i hope i dot have to do the presentation tomorrow but i think my confidence has gradually increased no, as i can talk openly about my work to other people, im just not quite sure how i'll tackle talking to a big bunch of people, i hope i do fine.I sound gay, also i need to record my voice for noal and the whale for annie, and finish my animation now for sakis, and try get work experience as well, printing form again and filling it again and give it back to Urbis.
I'm well excited about my clubnight now bring on filthy animals, i need a house as well, but im actually starting to like the house and my room, i like how its small but just so different, and all the compliments from everyone else that has visited our house.
Soon Blud.

It's Alive
yeah my macbook is back to life now. Woop went in and got the frame or something fixed, so i can watch dvds again woop. This week will be working hard week!!!!
Well now im just watching Jan Svankmajers collection of short films and even though its dated in the 50's or so, it pretty much is till amazing. It doesn't feel at all outdated and the general idea still very original and quirky. I like how you can see the apparent theme in the short films and how it re occurs in each one, i.e Machinery

And start my animation for sho, i want hi i need this, as Ian would put it, don't have a back up plan just go for it.
I also got shouted at by my mom for telling my sister to go for her dreams, and do what she wants, there's nothing wrong with that, i'd rather be living it rough and enjoy what im doing and not have enough money than sit in a office and work for something/ someone that i don't like .
I'm hungry for success!!!!!!!!!!

Shot at film
My notes from today, like i missed half an hour, cause i woke up late thinking it was reading week, until i text Henry to confirm and he said it wasn't and didn't turn up anyway. So yeaaa.
We looked at shots i think, but i missed that and i only got the lighting part, which reminds me i need to go to the lighting induction sometime soon, cause i'll need to borrow lights from av store.
Hmm So here goes.
Lighting, is used for two different purposes.
1.) To create a image/illusion of reality
2.) Used expressively to create mood, ie fear, absence of light, shadows, represents morality.
And then we studied Vertigo, by Hitchcock.
The central character gets depression, and Hitchcock in the film uses lighting to accentuate this, by contrasting the bright sky with the central character.
Film Noir tends to use underlighting a lot.
And the three forms of lighting.
1.) Key Light - this is often directional spotlights, and can differ in length beams and often creates smaller shadow. Also illuminates significant area.
2.)Fil Light- this fills in the space and are normally based on the side of the set, they produce wider beams/more diffused. This also removes the intensity of the black and white in the lighting, reducing the intensity of Key Light.
3.)Back Light, comes from back of set, hence name. It is normally placed at an angle, so it does not shoot in camera.
German expressionism- lighting used to create world of darkness and shadows, now can be seen in horror, crime and science fiction films.
Also study of tv drama v Movie, can see common errors i tv drama as it's a low production compared to movies, which normally takes a year to shoot.
Film Studies:
Caligari
Blood Simple
Eastenders
Some rather simple notes, so will have to do more research into the different lightings, and get notes from last week from lecture i went to, but forgot pen to write notes down, DUH!!! Also need to find my course outline thing for assignment question and find a film.

Black Lips!!! Eat Your heart out!
Craziest + best night ever!!!!!!!!!
We didn't get to see much of Crystal Stilts tho. The Soft Pack, i couldn't quite remember any of the set. Me and annie were acting like idiots and just going all over the place. We started talking to the cloakroom+merch people. And just dancing proper crazily when Black Lips came on, and went onto stage with bouncers coming at us and grabbed us big style. I could remember walking all over the place on the stage and trying not to fall onto the drums. Then after the set we wandered into the basement, where Black Lips were hanging out, and got free alcohol from the fridge and a polaroid with Ian and jared, i was rather disappointed tho cos i was looking forward to meeting Joe and Cole, but stil it was way awesome.
Then I got outside and this girl called me a dickhead!!! "This is the second time you've gone into me now, DICKHEAD!!", me: " Im sorry for being a DICKHEAD!!" And annie pouring water over me, nice!! Ha yeah we managed to get badges as well and Jareds shirt, which was soaking wet a mixture of beer and sweat, nice , why was i rubbing my face with it last night? Ewwww.
Today i feel a bit shit, i don't look good, don't feel good, don't smell good. And some crazy guy talking about god in town.

Deja Vous of zoo magazine digested into a million pieces
I never got the chance to go through Zoo magazine or infact my latest purchase of vogue or dazed and confused, so here i will guide you thru it :p. I remember saying why i picked it up because of the maison martin margiela dress made from recycled vinyl!!!! Well basically all other things inside the ma states what other high end market will state giving latest updates of colaborations etc, JEREMY SCOTT + ADIDASS!!! YES! Ok so i might have just mentioned this in a previous blog but still JEREMY SCOTT + ADIDAS!!!
Image from previous ID magazine, The infamous Jeremy Scott with muse, model Devon Aoki!!! Ok so i will stop going on about Jeremy Scott for the millionth time now.
Lets move on to atelier? What is atelier? I was wandering that when i was sat watching haute couture on BBCiplayer. I suppose it's someone that makes clothes? Ok so maybe not just searched it on google apparently it's a artist studio. Ok so i typed it in again but with fashion and this came up.
The sample room, or 'atelier' is a fixture of companies as diverse as Calvin Klein and Chanel. The need for practitioners within this area of craft, where time, application and tradition are matched by creativity, modernity and experimentation is, now more than ever, vital to the industry.
This new course has been developed to meet such demands and give a deep understanding of the overall process of the atelier and its professional demands. Tradition and technology both play a part in the course and course units develop and build your specialist skills as you work on project briefs set to fashion industry standards and expectations.
You will study traditional couture techniques along with drawing and illustration as means of design communication, preparing them to compete for jobs in this competitive and exclusive segment of the market. Traditional methods will be applied to innovative and experimental design solutions. Key areas covered in detail will be:
Couture tailoring
Couture dress making
Creative pattern cutting
Design and Illustration
All projects are supported by experienced academic staff and visiting industry practitioners and you learn to work to a professional standard and develop an intellectually grounded approach to the career paths demanded by this thriving industry.
A actualy degree in it shoooo why didn't i ever see that or ever know about it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All i know is that it involves serious craftsmanship. Jealous. I'd love to be an atelier or whatever. Working on a Chanel dress for a week sticking on feathers. dream.
My fashion day dreams again ha lets go back to reality. noo i found the article on atelier Versace and saw this dress next to the article.
Also Bruce weber, "i've heard of him", i say to myself, and i should really read the article but it's just too long and today i aim to get past 3 magazine and 3 big chunky books, yeahh go me. so i will skip this lovely bit for later maybe a bedtime read.
Narcissist's club??? Say what????? Yes Narcissist's club in Tokyo, Japan, the only place that could possibly get away with anything like that. Ever listened to Css and Lovefoxx screams "My art is called egocentric soft porno / or maybe it's just narcissism". Hmmmm Yeah as i flip thru i find images of ..half naked people spread across the pages. Ahh Love Forever. I will try pay that club a visit when i make my way to japan this summer. They even have a myspace go check it www.myspace.com/narzib
