Pendulum Redux



Through the creation of a new environment and change of camera angles I was able to make the pendulum animation much better. One way it was improved was the composition of the shot was more thought out making the focus of the shot the pendulum. The leading lines used in the shot lead the eyes towards the pendulum to rest in order to create a sense of peace and harmony. The diagonal lines in the background display chaos and unpredictability where the pendulum is not present. This chaos gives the viewer a feeling that the pendulum brings balance. The horizontal lines in the sun omit a meditative quality adding to the overall filling of stability. The opening camera angle adds to the feeling of vast emptiness drawing the eye of the audience to the target at focus, the pendulum. The zolly gives off a sense that the pendulum is somehow unique and possibly other worldly. The tracking shot changes the perspective of the audience and allows them to view the surrounding world as the pendulum perceives it. Overall, the use of principles of design, camera angles, and set pieces add to the meaning of the film, create interest, and delectation.

Favorite Part of Class My favorite part of class was being able to work independently. Having the freedom to work at my own pace was a breath of fresh air. Also what I enjoyed a lot was being able to help with other groups shoots. Before we would only shoot in our own groups, but with the freedom to shoot outside of class it became a lot easier. Seeing how other people performed their tasks and managed their crew was also an interesting and insightful experience. What I Learned the Most I've learned the most about how to deal with people on a set. Being outside of school completely changes the dynamic and it really shows you who is a hard worker and who isn't. Being able to pick and choose who I worked with is great, but it is important to know how to work with people you wouldn't want to work with. It is a key role of the director to keep everyone motivated on the shoot. This is essential because if no one is trying than you aren't going to have a good movie. It t...

Actions are any animation of a character, that can be location, rotation, or scale change. Actions can be anything that a character does, however looping actions are actions that can be repeated to save time. For example instead of animating each individual step a character takes you can just create a walk cycle.

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...
