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. This principal reaches far and wide into almost every medium of communication whether that be politics, advertising, or entertainment (memes). 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.

Investigation 2/28

Brainstorming Process Currently ironing out the idea for my next film and it has been a bit of a ride. Since my last film was about not being able to come up with an idea now I have to come up with an idea. I started off with a rough concept for a guy stuck in a dream and went with that for a week and a half or so, than I realized it was bad. I just didn't know what the focus of the story was. So, I totally changed the script and here are the pages of my notebook where I worked it out.

Design Principals and Proposal

I ended up selecting the image at the very top of the list for my project. I chose this image because it has a lot of variety through the use of horizontal lines, leading lines, curved lines, and diagonal lines. This adds interest to the shot and make it feel more alive. I was also going to add contrast in the color of the lines to create conflict. Another reason that I ended up choosing this image is because the proportion and the leading lines create emphasis on the pendulum. For the lighting I am going to have the lines giving off cool light and the sun give off warm light. I will also have the pendulum give off white light to create emphasis through contrast of light.
