Critique Reflection

I feel like I did best on the pacing of the film even though the actual takes were very long. I also thought that the music went with the intensity and pacing of the film. My classmates thought that the slow mo tilt up shot where the phone thief jumped over the girl tying her shoe. They also thought that the acting performance was believable. I feel like the obstacles during the rising action needed to be made more prominent. Our strengths were: acting, pacing, camera angles/movements, and audio. Our weaknesses were: lighting, white balance, and costumes. I need to focus on making more prominent obstacles and improve my strengths by adjusting the audio according to the action and using camera angles to add emotion to the film.

The biggest challenge that I faced in this project was making the plate. I wanted a particular look to the plate that was proving to be a challenge. I wanted the curve to go up and then out in a smooth and natural fashion. This was a little difficult to accomplish with the bezier curve because I was working with multiple curves in a slim area. It created difficulty because the curves were almost overlapping and made it hard to see which curve was which. I overcame this challenge through trial and error. I used trial and error by seeing what happened when one curve was adjusted and then I would undo that action. I kept doing this until I achieved the result that I wanted. That is how I overcame the challenge of forming the curves for the plate.

Film Score Investigation

Why Music? Music is an essential part of film. It can be used to set the tone for a scene or to drive the action. When used correctly in conjunction with visuals, music can transform the emotional experience of a film. Some of the most memorable moments of a film are because of the score. Film scores can be used to build tension, fear, or any emotion. For this investigation I will be learning about how to create a film score. The Psychological Effect of Music In Film 1 during our study of film history we discussed what is known as the Kuleshov effect. The Kuleshov effect is an analysis of how the audiences interpretation of an image changes in relation to the next image. So if you have a man with a neutral face and you cut to a hamburger and back to the man he looks hungry. Similarly, music creates a tone for the visuals presented to the audience. This tone is what allows the audience to understand the emotions they are intended to be feeling while viewing the film. A grea...
