Pre-Game;)

In class we went over alot of how to get ready for a shoot. Which was a great example on how if you dont have people in charge of certian things it can get very messy. left and right people are thoughong out ideas. trying to get everything organized. This part of filming i really enjoy. I like the brainstorming process. I like working together with everyone else to get the perfect shot. First what we have to do is figure out what we are filming. Like in class we choose a scene of in a hospital. Then we tryed to decided what we visual wanted to see happen. Then we set up the camera where we could get the first master shot. From there it got a little complicated, but i know the next time it would work better. We had to figure out lighting. Which when you have 11 people doing that it gets a little trangled. That is why we are supposed to have one DP. Then we have anohter director to tell everyone else to do. So i guess it is a process. You first need the story, then you need the set. Then you move to the lights to get the feel you want. Then you work from there, trying out different angles and set ups to see what works for the perfect shot. I think the reason i like this part is cause i like createing things. in a way you are building your story, and if you want to tell the best story you have to have all the right parts. Every little detail matters. another reason i like this part is everyone has a key point. nothing can be done with out the other person. and when you get everyone to work together and it runs smoothly, it ends up being great. when we were working on our last projects, thats what happened. we would start out with one thing, then a person would do something or say an idea then we would come up with something and it would get better and better with every shot we would take. At this moment i really like the behind the camera productions. Still working on the editing, but i love production side!!!

best photo of the week _light

lite-brite

This week my blog is on light, light can do so many things for a shot. I think it makes the feel of the shot. It tells you if the scene is happy, sad, scary. Like if you wanted to make a shot look scarey, you might use less light, maybe some shadowing so you cant see the whole screen, not being able to see everything might make it a little more mysterious.  like this photo, there is a person with a bright light behind them, and all you can see is the out line of there body. It makes you wonder who and what the person is, and why they are standing like that, it brings mystery. My favorite type of light is probally natural light. like in sunset and sunrises. The way the sun reflects off of objects is the most pleasing view. No one will disagree and say a sunset is not the best site to see. It makes you feel good to even look at a picture of a sunset. Another form of a natural light, is fire, the flames give of a glow. If it was possible to use a light like that in filming it would make the most amazinfile:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/fire.jpgg shots, plus the fact that you cant control the way the flames blow makes it beautiful. My favorite shot of the week would have to be the image i found of a skate boarder in the air after hitting a half pipe. He is fully air born with only the sun going down in the back ground, because of the light in the background it causes him to be compeletly blacked out. Its bring extreme into beautiful. Like can do so many good and bad things for filming. But when you play and practice with it, we can learn to find the right light for every mood and set we are planning on having.

none of the photos showed up so i am gonna try to put the on in order. 

Little behind~

This week in my blog, i know i am a little behind but i was to show the intro shot of one of my favorite movies. I know it might not be the most award winning film out there and it is made by disney, but not only is it one of my favorite movies it also has one of my favorite actors/ producers. Mark Walhberg. He started out with nothing, and made it big. I am also a big fan of the northern new york attitude accent. (plus he is quite sexy :) haha) Anyways, the movie i want to show is "Invinceable" a movie about a broke, just laid of teacher, who decides he wants to try out for the eagles and pro football team, With nothing but back yard experience, he does the ultimate dream. Rags to riches, my top favorite type of movie. Like i said before, i like the light hearted, feel good movies. at firtst it starts out with just some kids running and music, the light has a old brown gloss over just to give the rustic old feel of a poorer northen city.file:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/screen-capture.png  Next they date it by adding a window shot of an old car, to place the time prob around the early 80's.file:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/screen-capture-1.png . It makes it clear that the area they are in is toubled, alot of people loosing there jobs on hard times, a little bit of a blue collar area with a bunch of factories file:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/screen-capture-3.png

file:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/screen-capture-5.png, they end the opening with a shot of football to let you know that file:///Users/saratanger/Desktop/screen-capture-8.pngis what this movie is all about, they dont waste anytime to let you know about the football!
