Investigation 10/25

Writing

I've continued to write scripts in order to gain as much experience writing as possible. Below are the first 9 pages of a script I've just started recently. I'm still continuing work on the one I showed you from last week. I'm also about to enter production on the drama I wrote titled: Dreams Do Die. My goal right now is just to get as much experience writing as possible. I once heard someone say that in order to get good at something you need around 1000 hours doing it. The way I see it, the more stuff I write, the better I will get at it. The stuff I write doesn't have to be good, I just have to constantly be exercising my writing muscles. Also I wanted to note that I don't plan on making the script below, I'm just writing for the sake of practice.

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...
