Writing process

My Writing Process

I've been doing a lot of writing to try and come up with the script for my next film. This process has consumed a lot of my time so I have decided to make an investigation post out of it. The following photos are of my film writing notebook. It basically just contains a lot of ideas and concepts for whatever project I'm currently working on. Lots of the time I end up re-writing or completely cutting ideas entirely. Right now I sort of have two ideas going on. The first is a second film that takes place in the gangster/crime genre. The second is part of the weekend films series I'm trying to conclude. I will do my best to label the following photographs based on the project they relate to.

Weekend Films

Gangster/Crime

Also I'm working on the VFX for my next Sci-fi film. The following video is a test render of an establishing shot of the city. I'm going to be adding holographic signs as well as flying cars.

Mon - N/A

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...
