My work in the real world!

Over the summer i've been lucky in being able to do stuff which is valuble in the real world, specific photoshoots for people or of people, as well as working on set for a docu-drama as a runner. 


As the main part of this work is trying to encorperate our work into being viable for the real world. I did some reaserch but it didnt take me long to find one i was interested in doing as the handbook lead me to the website and it just jumped out at me. The '2 days later' film competition screamed out for me to look at it. Supprisingly the festival is from my home county, infact just down the road from where i live! The task is rather challenging as it states that the film has tobe shot on a micro-budget (good for me being a poor uni student!) as well as being produced in only 48hours which as an idea scares the hell out of me! it will take alot of work, getting everything right and ready. But i do think i need to do more research as if this 48hours has to be in one go, or do u have to measure the time u spend on it and split it over however long u want totalling 48hours? after all what if u can only shoot in the rain? or at night? Anyway the description on the website is as follows:
2 Days Later is a short horror film competition specifically designed to encourage filmmakers, enthusiasts and students to produce a 10 minute horror film in only 48 hours on a micro-budget. All competition entries are shown to a public audience, and judged by a panel of film industry professionals, competing for film industry donated prizes at a special Halloween Screening Event in Margate. Winning submissions will also receive global website exposure and international promotion to other film festivals and film industry organisations.

I think to find out more details about the rules id have to contact them because the website is very vague, but does show examples from previous years which will be good for me to look at an analyse. i really like the idea of playing with time and of course it being a horror competition and Poes work being of the gothic horror veriety it should fit very well! Ive not really got to spend time on the idea of time on screen, and the idea that i can work with the whole twodays idea, maybe starting at the end and then flashing back to the start or something like that will be good! at the moment its very rough but then once i start to plan and set out my ideas i should be fine!
