5/2 Production Post

 What I've Learned

I once again had a struggle coming up with an idea that I both liked and could do. I still have in fact not come up with an idea. I now realize I have a losing strategy here. I in fact have no strategy. This has become problematic. However, I will have a finished film by next weekend. It hasn't helped that people have liked my films as of late and I now feel that I must do a good job. I want people to have something they want to watch, not something they're forced to watch. As a result I have not written anything of substance. I write a few pages than give up. I don't like it. It sucks. I limit my resources extremely because I'm afraid of planning things with a lot of people involved. I find it's very stressful. I really have no excuses, which is why I will still have a film by this weekend. I don't start with a genre and therefore my film is just a blob of concept. It is a pipe dream, not reality. I don't like genre because then it places you into a box. However, without the box I simply wonder around and don't do much work. I often times have nothing I'm aiming for other than the loose concept of 'a good film'. Which is actually not helpful at all. None the less, as I've stated, there will be a film. It will be turned in on time. It might not be very good.

Shepard Fairey - Text and Image

Text and Image in Art Arguably the most mainstream principal of postmodern art, text and image can be seen everywhere, literally.

Of all of the principals of postmodernism, text and image might just be the easiest to implement. All you need to do is take some form of art and somehow implement texts onto the work. However simple it may be, text and image is also very effective. The effectiveness of text and image is also why its used so commonly. If you want to send a message, simply attract an audience with the artwork and place your message on top of it. The audience will be sure to see your message as well as your art.

Choosing Colors

The Grand Budapest Hotel exercise has shown me that color schemes can change quite frequently throughout a film. These color changes can represent changes in the themes or introduce new symbols in your animation. What I have learned from this particular film is that you don't have to hold yourself to any one particular color scheme. In fact, you can go as far as to change the color scheme on a shot by shot basis. The hotel sequence is an astounding example of this by using the different color combinations to show diversity. This helps the viewer to understand that the hotels are in quite different and exotic locations across the world. The use of color in costuming is also just as essential as it's use in the production design. Through this lesson on color and its potential implementations I have had a complete change of perspective on the use of color in film. Adobe color is an extraordinary tool for deciding what color scheme to use. The way that I will use this tool in order...
