Quick Update

I've just recorded a new song. It's called Black Museum because I took samples from the original Black Museum show and used it in my song. It's an electronic/ambient thing and if you want to check it out please see my other myspace: http://www.myspace.com/courtinthepast

I'm very pleased though because i've had two ideas for the One Shot Film project, which I can't wait to get going with. I also have titles for both, which is really unlike me...
Death
and
Smile

Death is obviously quite a morbid subject but one that I feel may be a good subect to cover. I've tried to write a prologue, it's something like this...
Death; us humans are afraid of death, it's because we don't know what to expect. But this is wrong, if you take away the reasons religion condition us with such as reincarnation, heaven and hell, we can expect there to be black; nothingness.
So death is the only thing throughout out lives we can expect to happen and know what it entails.
Is it not life then, that we should fear the most because we do not know what to expect throughout our lives or when to expect death?
And this might be at any given moment...

The story so far still needs some attention, but I know the message will be clear.

Smile has almost the same message, but I think it will leave the audience feeling happy, positive and generally better than when they first came to see the film. It's a simple story about one mans perspective and emotions of the world that doesn't smile anymore. He becomes so affected by what he sees and hears, that he decides to think of a melody and come up with a song on the acoustic guitar on the spot. In doing so, passers by on the street where he is playing become so mesmerized by the words that they can't help but smile and think of nice things, if only for that moment.
The music is a song I have learnt by Charles Chaplin and it is titled "Smile" but the lyrics were written by Turner and Parsons.

I am really looking forward to making this film this week. On completion I will upload it.


Music (in my head): Charles Chaplin - Smile
