I decided against my first logo idea, Big Black Dog productions and have come up with something new instead. Harmer is a relatively unusual surname, and there’s no other production company with that name unlike Big Black Dog productions, so its more unique. I didn’t want to just have a logo using text, and I wasn’t sure what kind of image to use so I … Continue reading 161MC Logo
We had great fun shooting our short film The Man Inside for 162MC, we were so lucky to be able to work with some brilliant actors, and the comedy was golden! For that reason, I have put together a gag reel of some of the shenanigans on set for your viewing pleasure (but mainly for my own amusement!). Clearly I just have too much time on my … Continue reading 162 MC The Man Inside-Bloopers
We are due to film tomorrow, thankfully the snow has held off and transport should be fine! I’ve drawn up a schedule for our day of filming so we can keep on track, hopefully it won’t take as long as the schedule suggests but this gives us plenty of time to get lots of different shots and takes so we have plenty of footage to … Continue reading 162MC Update (Short Film)
Brian Harmer, my grandad, represented England in a sport called Motorcycle Football. He played abroad representing the country and to this day has cups and awards. My three minute documentary will be about his experience playing the sport and his stories surrounding it. In terms of visuals, I plan to avoid focusing on just basic face to face interview. I think it would be good … Continue reading 160MC Treatment and 30 Second Clip
For the My Poetic Eyes project it was obvious to me what global situation to go for. I’ve always been passionate about animal rights, ever since I was a child. The one main issue that is close to my heart is the fur trade. In my initial five ideas for this course, I said one of the main things I’d love to do would be … Continue reading 160MC My Poetic Eyes Research

I managed to email the updated version of the Public Liability Insurance certificate to the person in charge of the shopping centre in which we want to film. She replied to me promptly saying we have permission! That means everything is now organised and sorted; we have three great actors, a location, props, costume and equipment all sorted. We are filming on Sunday and are … Continue reading 162MC Update
I’ve been having a fiddle around on Photoshop and using my limited skills to come up with something that resembles a production logo. This is my first idea, and obviously it needs some fine tuning! This is basically a tracing of a photo that I took of my dog, using two block colours and a tiny bit of shading. Anyone that knows me … Continue reading Creating an Impact in Media Production
For 161MC we have been asked to complete a personal SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) with regards to media production. Continue reading 161MC Swot Analysis
For 162MC I am working as part of a group of 6 people. We have chosen a script from our group, which is a short comedy set in an elevator, where two ex spouses get trapped together. We thought that this script would be easy to shoot but very effective, and with two really good actors, we thought it could be a very successful comedic … Continue reading 162MC Short Film
