Who am i???

Well... to start I'm Danny Turner, I'm 17 and i live at 1b judges walk.

This really doesn't say much about me i know. Actually that depends. From that information and from the knowledge you are reading this on my "year 13 media blog" a person so inclined to do so could deduce a lot about me. This person with an unhealthy addiction for knowledge about me i might add, could work out that i am indeed in six form or collage education, the fact that i am studying media would lead most people to believe that i would like a job in or around the media; this is true. A simple Internet search engine would generate my postcode and exactly where i live, The place of a persons residence can say a lot about them; i live in a house that is on a very "posh" road, the houses on my road are expensive and large. This is almost an embarrassing fact to me. The link between my appearance to others and my sense of self is perhaps very different. Despite my residence i do not come from a well off family, we "my family and i" acquired our current place of residence through fortunate circumstances. We often joke that our presence on the road lowers the value of the houses in the surrounding area. I guess the point i am trying to make is an obscurity of don't judge a book by its cover.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This statement is very bold in my mind, i think external appearances of books are important, there is a big difference between "daisy" and "The god delusion". Perhaps the metaphor is implying age of books, stating that because something is worn and beaten it doesn't mean it doesn't have a rich inner content. In which case this metaphor is only partially true when applied to people, books can't choose how they look, people can. My dress sense is comprised of jeans and usually plain t-shirts, boots or converse style shoes with perhaps a jacket or Hoody of some description. "Hoody" that immediately flagged something in your mind didn't it... Don't define me by one item of clothing, this is becoming a problem in modern society.

Already, if you do not know me you are formulating an image of someone in your mind. From the very manner in which this document is comprised you are making assumptions about me. I can't know if they are true, even if you told me everything you believed about me i don't think I'd know if they were true, i don't think i know myself well enough. I can tell you that i believe myself to be very forgiving; but this could mean many things to many people, i know i am easily upset and i take things to heart too quickly; could this just be a product of my age?? or is this a deep emotional trait that i will carry forever. My opinions on the world today will definitely change but i cant be sure of how much. I think of myself as middle class around C2, this could be very different. The party i would and will support in government is labour "everyone makes mistakes".

Who am i? i only have a vague idea at the moment. At this stage in my life i am forming my identity, i have told you everything i believe to be true about myself and have left you with an opinion of me. You can decide for yourself who you think i am.

Shooting schedule

Finished storyboards

These storyboards are a representation and a visual demonstration of the effects we would like to create within our video as well as an outline of our story.

The narrative we are trying to create is of a couples life. How they get together, how they are happy and how things can end in anger. The storyline/narrative will be intertwined with a performance element and a visual concept using a PC monitor to transition between narrative and performance elements.
