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.

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...

Final Robot Animation

This project was an incredible learning experience that is applicable for both film and animation. What I learned was that goals must remain relevant to the task being performed at hand. The hardest part of this project was creating the concept that I had produced in pre production. The idea and goals that I created for myself in pre production were simply not possible with the time I allowed myself to accomplish them. The worst part about this predicament is that it forces you to decide what corners need to be cut in production to meet the deadline. The painful part is choosing the right corners to cut which allow the story to retain most of its original form. I ended up having to cut out the entire planned ending and shorten the film, completely altering the overall meaning. Next time I will use this information to better judge the time required to accomplish certain tasks. However, I did have a few successes though. These include, lighting large areas in pleasing and understandabl...
