Advanced Camera Movements

Crane Shots

(0:15-1:10)

(1:27-1:30)

Slider Shots

(2:14-2:18)

(1:18-1:23)

(0:49-0:53)

Wide Aperture Shots

(0:16-0:20)

(0:09-0:10)

One idea that I had for the crane was to mount the camera tilted down and position it in front of the subject and start high above the subject and slowly bring it down to a medium shot while keeping the subject as the focus. I thought that this would be an interesting shot for changing the perspective on the subject in regards to its environment. For the slider I was thinking about placing it perpendicular to the subject and then panning with the focus on the subject. This shot would allow for an emphasis to be put on the subject because they are staying at the center of the shot the whole time. With the wide aperture lense I wanted to try a pull focus shot where the focus starts on the body of the subject with their arm extented towards the camera. Then I would pull focus from the body, along the arm, and end at the hand of the subject to lead the audiences eye.

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...
