Short film Pre Production.

The night before filming I charged up all my batteries for my drone, camera and zoom mic. I then contacted my actors (Adrian and Benedict) to make sure they were ready and what time we needed to meet. 

I woke up at 6:30 for the shoot to get my opening and closing shots using the drone. Below are some snap shots of the drone footage. I have shown the edited and raw shots to show how I used colour grading and editing to enhance the video I also cropped and reversed the video too.

A - in terms of Kubrick's career timeline B - in terms of history, politics, culture - the zeitgeist. Make sure you look at the space race, moon landing and the Cold War, as well as America in the late 1960s. 3 -  Genre  - Explore the ideas around science fiction as a genre (what is it, where did it begin (literature and film), what are its tropes, etc) 4 -  Legacy and critical reception  - Look at Kubrick's legacy, and that of the film.

Do you consider Kubrick an auteur, and why? 6  -  Technol...
