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.

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...
