Short film research: Telet (The Tent)

 Sound: 

The sound plays a big role when creating the setting. It helps to picture the outside environment where the film takes place. The dialogue also drives the story forward, slowly revealing the plot of the story. It helps to explain why the characters are there in the first place and the events that take place between them. They don't use any major editing sounds or techniques. Besides the diegetic and non-diegetic sound taking place in scenes, there aren't any other major implications that the sound adds. 

Mis-En-Scene: 

The mis-en-scene for this film was very well done. Although the actors aren't very well known in America, they played their characters well. They were able to portray the life of a modern family and it helped with the film's focus on the dysfunctionality of the family, issues somewhat common to many. The props were also very well done, working very closely with the costumes. They were dressed for camping in a northern part of a forest, with heavy winds. The set was very well made with leaves and trees in the area. The opening scene is a forest with paths and areas for camping. The props included items like cigarettes', phones, a lighter, and a tent. The cigarette, lighter, and phone all helped to portray the disrespectful teenager who is obsessed with her phone. 

Editing: 

The editing in the film didn't have a major significance. They mainly used cuts in the film, because it was a drama and didn't have any major purpose to add any advanced forms of editing. The cuts did help to portray the differences in events that were going on. 

Overall my favorite part had to be near the end when it reached its climax and the plot of the story was revealed. It was funny and unexpected which added that twist to help in a sense 'carry' the story. There wasn't any bad part in the film, in my opinion, it was well executed and had many good scenes within the film that led to an inevitably bad day camping.

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Issues while Editing my Music Video

 So, since my last blog, quite a bit has happened. I managed to lose all my progress on my video. Now, let me explain. I was editing my video and decided to render it so I would be able to watch it without having to let it load. So, as I'm waiting for the video to render, a message pops up that my computer is about to die. Usually, I have a couple of minutes to plug it in, but it ended up dying right away and basically reset. I immediately plug my computer in and turn it back on. As I open up Premiere, my work on the music video was completely gone. I was completely shocked and upset. I started looking up how to recover my work because all that it said I had done was import my files into the program. All of the tedious editing to the lyrics was gone. I'm looking through every file on my computer, every possible place where it could be. The reason I hadn't saved a separate copy and knew where it was was due to the fact that I was relying on the auto-save feature, but I didn...
