The Fool



The beginning of production started with the script being written, Josh provided a great script that upon revision with help from the group was made even better. From there Lexi made a storyboard based on the script taking into account rule of thirds, informal balance, and over the shoulder shots. In between scenes that needed me to act, I would take a zoom recorder and record the necessary audio files such as doors opening and closing, footsteps, screams, and small bits of disembodied dialogue. After all footage and audio was compiled, editing begun, in which I tried my hardest to provide an eery and unsettling mood, the lack of traditional audio makes the entire piece seem artificial and unnatural. Upon viewing the entire piece and being able to critique not just the final project but also the production of the film, it was clear there were some miss steps. From losing our cinematographer for days at a time to not being able to understand the storyboard at times. More could have been to better production. On the other hand, a lot was done well, the ability to keep all the information with regards to forms formal greatly helped in keeping everything simple. The group had great charisma and energy together, being able to keep production lighthearted and fun. None of us had any issues being able to perform our roles at least proficiently.

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...
