Themes in Conceptual Film

The theme that really resonated with me was the theme on invention and fantasy. This is mostly because most of my favorite films are science fiction and have to deal with the struggle for the survival of humanity. Invention and Fantasy is a theme about a unnatural and fictitious world. I would like to direct a film dealing with this theme because I find it so interesting to watch on screen which makes me want to try out my own ideas and see what they look like when everything comes together on screen. I would also be interested in writing a film like this because it would enable me to translate my own ideas to film and not the ideas of others. This topic would also make me want to help with the production of the film as a producer just because of how invested I am in this type of film. I'm intrigued by these kinds of films mostly because of how different they are from day to day life but how easy it is to express a common struggle through exaggerating certain aspects of life. One of the other themes of art that I would like to cover in conjunction with the theme of invention and fantasy is looking inward. This theme of what it means to be human is very intriguing and is one of the basic human questions about life that can never really be answered for you. That is why it is so interesting to try to answer with art because it will always remain a mystery to humanity that is never fully answered in life. When I have seen films in my life these are the kind of films that have always stuck with me as time moves on. That is one of the reasons why I am really intrigued and interested by these themes in art and feel the need to create films about these themes.

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...

Lighting Investigation

Lighting Lighting is one of the most essential principals of filmmaking. There is a quite daunting variety of ways to light a scene. The different aspects of lighting vary from brightness, color, temperature, white balance, soft/hard, direction, and more. There are many ways lighting can be used to better communicate understanding of a scene. For instance, lighting is one of the key components in creating the tone of a film. If you look at a comedy film the lighting is always balanced and light in tone. On the contrary, for a dramatic film the lighting will be darker and less balanced. There might be hard shadows cast across the background to amplify and enlarge reality. The human face will be lit different ways to portray the characters emotion. All of these decisions lead to a better, more meaningful and developed film. The Cinematographer's Role The role of the cinematographer is to decide what to do with the lighting. The cinematographer, or director of photography...
