Final Project
LECTURES
- the process where every individual clip of a video footage
- altered to match color temperature of multiple shots
- a consistent technical standard of appearance
- sensing
- representation
- display of images
- taking what you have done in color correction one step further
- altering an image for aesthetic and communicative purposes.
- Increase contrast & saturation
- Apply new tinge of colour
- to what we see onscreen
- visuals
- meaning
- all of the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement
Composition
- deliberate selection of frames and camera angles that make up a shot
- manipulating composition can accentuate the emotional themes of the story
- communicate a sense (or lack) of meaning to the audience.
- everything the audience sees within a particular scene
- details help build out the world of the location and add even more context to the story
- often the tool that conveys mood most clearly
- High-key lighting:
- often used in musicals and romantic comedies
- relies on hard light to minimize shadows - Low-key lighting:
- often used in horror movies
- one of the most useful tools in communicating a character’s thoughts and journey
- an object with a function serves to drive the narrative or become a motif to underscore the themes of the film
- determined by the distances between objects, people, and scenery
- influenced by their placement along with camera location and lens choice
We are assigned to watch stop-motion shorts and shortlist 3 of them to share our thoughts.
- Under The Winter Sun
Figure 1.0 Stop Motion #1, 27.8.2021I would say this is a sweet but sad story. I chose this short film because I like that the idea of using simple props to direct a story to the viewer. This short film really hits me because at my age now, I think that friendship played a big part in my life. Besides, I like the use of background music because it also helped me to get into deeper emotion. I also like the idea of how the short film ended with how it started.
Paper Plane
Figure 1.1 Stop Motion #2, 27.8.2021This is an MV for the song Paper Plane by Giangrande. I would say this video is my current favorite paper cut out stop motion video and I like this song as well. The story in this video might be a little confusing for the first time viewer, but eventually, it will be cleared up. I like the storyline of the main character went on an adventure with the bear, rabbit, turtle and the lively beats of the song. Besides, I also like the vintage colors chosen for this video, which I think this matches the folksy music.
Fresh Guacamole
Figure 1.2 Stop Motion #3, 27.8.2021I would say this is a very satisfying video. I like the idea of turning the foods into other objects such as grenades, golf balls and casino tokens. Besides, I also like the part where every "cut" piece turns into dice that matches the color of the object. The dices have different sizes too. Not just that, the sound effects in this short film are amazing!
On Thursday, after the proposal has been approved, I decide to buy the clay. Mr. Martin then informed students that he would be going to studio the following Wednesday. As a result, I went to the university's studio for my first shoot.
After the first day of shooting, I realized that stop motion shooting is very time-consuming. Hence, I became aware of the situation and began to rearrange my schedule.
After that, I discussed to my friends about it and decided to book the studio for the following Friday. I only managed to complete 40% of the scenes after Friday's shooting. My friend I realised that we didn't have enough props at the same time. Afterward, we went out and bought some more clay.
I still realized I didn't have enough colors halfway through the shoot. As a result, I use acrylic to color the clay.
After I was done shooting, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the video.
I realized I needed to reshoot some of the scene while editing.
I then began editing the footage and adding sound effects to the video.
Week 10
Mr. Martin said that the proposal is ok. Can add one more scene in between the cutting down trees and city building.
Week 13
Mr. Martin said that the progress is ok.
Week 14
Mr. Martin said that I can try to add the "dip to black" transition for different scenes and lower down the volume of the music.
