Ice rink filming day

 


     Ice skating is one of the things that I love to do outside of school. I have a friend group at rink and we like to mess around by racing, playing rink soccer and relaxing. My first shot I got was located at home and consisted it of me grabbing my skates off of my dresser. The camera angle was a close up then cut to the scene of driving to the ice rink. It consisted of a actor held camera and quick shots of the car stereo.  I had to come up with new scene ideas to fill in my blank spots in-between the festival shots and ice rink shots.  Once I arrived at the rink, I met up with my friends Billy and Philip. I had time to kill because the public skate session started at 8:30pm and we were 30 minutes early. I ended helping my friend put new laces on his hockey skates and watching the hockey game going on the main ice. Once the hockey game was over, we headed over to the studio ice and watched the zamboni resurface the ice. My friends and I are always the first ones on the ice because we tend to be the most experienced skaters and its also the time the ice is fresh. Once done warming up we messed around with the public skaters and acted like we were new skaters then we'll speed off and start doing tricks. Once we get done warming up a lot of new skaters tend to come to us and ask for us to teach them how to do certain things. While helping new skaters on skills I used this time to brainstorm shot ideas. The first shot at the rink was and high angle of my skates moving on the ice. The next shot was a low angle shot, my phone was angled against the boards. Then I asked my friend Phillip to speed towards my phone and last minute hockey stop, therefor spraying my camera with ice. The final shot I got consisted of me sitting in the middle of the ice and my friend skating around me. This isn't only time shooting at the rink and still have a little bit to go. I still have my house scene left. Im so excited for the final product to be produced.

Change of Plans

As the title states, there has been a change of plans in terms of the product of my final task.  I will have to cut the total amount of script to a minimum.  I have changed my aspect of what I want to create and I am leaning more towards a euphoria aspect. In euphoria contains flashbacks with a monotone voiceover. According to an article written about the producer's opinion of the show, " The look and feel of the show are as superheated as adolescence itself. The colors are bold, the score and needle-drop songs are loud, and the camera rarely sits still when it can glide, swoop whip-pan, or spiral. Every episode starts with a speedy prologue outlining the backstory of a recurring character shot, cut, and scored like a “previously on” recap of someone’s life. (Levinson wrote all eight episodes in the first season and directed five.) The medium-size town in which the tale is set was mainly built from scratch, the better to allow for expressionistic lighting and acrobatic vi...

Title Design Research: Thriller 30 days of Night

Image
  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Ni- Nine Titles were displayed in the opening sequence of 30 days of Night. Stated in the article on watch the titles," The audience is confronted with a sequence of highly disquieting images that cross-dissolve or fade to black. Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shadows, a bloody tooth embedded in a thick layer of ice and references to the Alaskan wintercape. Brian Reitzell‘s haunting score greatly enhances the discomforting atmosphere." The titles in this opening sequence are simple in all white, however in all capitial letters to state the importantance. I highly like the simple design of the titles and the design of the 30 Days of Night title.  2.      What connotations do the images carry?  - The images carry t he discomforting atmosphere with  Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shado...

Commercial Group Blog

                  I have come to the decision to create my commercial alone. On short assignments such as the commercial, I prefer to work alone. I have found when you have a group on individuals on an assignment like this one, there is too many ideas and voices to be represented. Another reason I choose to work alone is so I am accountable for my own work. This eliminates the stress of having to make sure everyone submits and does their part of the assignment. I feel when I work alone, I'm the one to have the control over the assignment and can raise the standards. My exceptions for projects is set really high and working with people that don't match my work ethic and standards adds more work for me then what's needed. My personality matches with working alone. I'm an over-achiever and like to challenge myself to the best work I can turn in. In addition, I'm very creative and do not like to turn in the average projects or assignme...
