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.

Donut scene

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...
