Thriller

Of all of the genres that we learned about in film the one that most interests me is the thriller genre. One of the reasons that I like the thriller genre so much is that it the excitement keeps me on the edge of my seat. I like this because it can create a feeling of excitement which allows me to be absorbed in the story. This is the main reason why I love Alfred Hitchcocks films. They all create some sort of suspense or anticipation during parts of the film. I appreciate the suspense created by uncertainty and excitement rather than fear. This is why I prefer action-thrillers, crime-thrillers, and sci-fi thrillers over horror. The fact that I am drawn to the thriller genre displays that I am intrigued by excitement but also tension and anticipation. Some of the directors that I would like to emulate would be Alfred Hitchcock, Quinten Tarantino, Denis Villeneuve, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, and Stanley Kubrick.

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 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...
