Fiction adaptation: Haiku video

We had a class to see what Fiction adaptation was, and it seems to be quite an interesting subject to choose. the lecturer was Mike Rymer, who is an experienced filmmaker, having worked all around the world for different genres and platforms, such as a promotional video for UCA Farnham, and we were told about the processes that something goes through when being translated from one form of media to another, such as the written word to film.

We were given the task to choose a Haiku from a list, and then use copyright free stock footage to tell that Haiku.

The Haiku that I chose was:

My life -
How much more of it remains,
The night is brief

Documentary unit: Jackie interview

So we could get an outside view on fake fear, we were able to secure an interview with an actual adrenaline junkie, only thing was, she's 73! She was amazing to interview, and her answers were so descriptive, which gave us some area to play around with during the edit. We needed to rearrange the house to better suit an interview, and when we realised that we would have to do that, we were glad that we were filming in one of our own homes instead of Jackie's house, or in a public area, as we then had control over the whole environment. Jackie was a pleasure to interview, as she was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour to match.
