Politics And The Social Order

In a world where people are giving up more and more to the international powers above, what should be given away and who is where is an increasingly needed discussion. The topic of the Social Order and politics is a very interesting subject to me because to understand where and how one fits into the world, one must also delve into smaller topics like looking inwards, the past actions of the people above, and deep philosophical ideas of ownership and power. A world without any social order will go nowhere, to depicting and showing that order in a positive or negative light gives the viewer a better understanding of the world.

Understanding how people delve into blind obedience allows people to know when others around them are too far gone. Stories of politics allow people to put their own personal boundaries on the world around them, and as people develop and begin to push those limits you are already prepared, as you have already been pushed and can react accordingly.

A recent very good example of this is the horror drama, Await Further Instructions. A film about a family stuck in there own home exposed to a series of test, in which the family is pushed more and more. As the father falls deeper into insanity, the main character and his girlfriend are the last two living and most rational people. As they kept their personal boundaries close and knew when others were going too far.

The Camera - Exposure Triangle

How All Three Components Work Together     From the previous blogpost I have made, I have went through and explained ISO, Shutter speed, and Aperture. All three have different ways of manipulating how light enters the camera, but combining the unique features of all three would allow for amazing results. To begin, aperture is how big or small the lense is, which allows for more or less light, with a low f-stop of 5.6, a lot of light would be flooding the lense, so with normal ISO and shutter speed, the image would be too bright. With a low f-stop, reducing the ISO would be a great choice, for it reduces grain in the image, preserving quality but allowing for proper right. On the other hand, you can increase the shutter speed, something with a speed of 1/400 of a second would allow for a still frame picture with little blur in the foreground. A typical combination is a quick shutter speed with a high ISO. This is typically used in sports photography or nature shots, for a high ...

 How I Plan To Make The Film     Doubling down on this low budget aesthetic for the film, I plan to make use of the look for comedic effect. Adobe software's such as Premiere Pro and After Effects provide many ways for any film maker to preform many effects such as title sequences, and adding computer generated imagery, but I plan to forgo that for my film. The entire project will be filmed using carboard effects, titles, costumes, everything. There are multiples way I plan to get around the lack of computer effects, below I provided a drawing of how the effects will be made in simple ways. For most projects I have made, getting releases and permission to film on a location has added unnecessary time, so for controlled lighting and an open space, I will film a majority of the movie in my garage.

Copyright Law And It's Affects on Cinema     Copyright is undeniably a good thing for the artistic world, it makes sure that creators are able to profit off their works for considerable amounts of time, but also eventually lets these works fade into public domain and enter the large collection of free and open works. That's how its supposed to work at least, but now we are entering an era of corporate owned works and creative expression, where the there's no singular person who owns the copyright, so how does this affect movies and other creative industries. Copyright was initially meant to be 28 years, so right now, if the original law was still in place, almost every Marvel hero, Superman, Star Wars, and much more would be public domain and anyone with a camera could make their own films with these characters. Over the years the copyright length has been expanded to the life of the creator plus 70 years. One thing to remember about this is that these expansions have bee...
