tailoring has never looked so good

 Completion is sweet. I'm very happy to say I have completed my editing. I finally patched up my empty spaces. I filled in holes as most do, front to back. I filled in the second scene, where the lyrics were "Outside the cars and the city go rushing by". This was a time lapse of las olas from a corner, so the viewer could see like two hundred and seventy degrees around. the next thing I filled in was yet another time lapse which I captured while standing at the las olas sign, with my phone on a very rickety makeshift tripod. The tripod was comprised of a real tripod and a whole lot of duct tape. This second time lapse fits over the lyrics "Bright lights, the music gets faster", which covered about 20 minutes of traffic. The last major hole I plugged was "Don't check on your watch, boy, not another glance". This one was a bit harder being as I had no actor here. I was unable to get my brother to cooperate so I made do. I put a watch on the floor, and first aimed the camera up as planned. I had 5 seconds of "feeder film" and then slowly panned down, to an aerial shot of the watch. From there, I did a slow zoom into it and then left seven seconds of "feeder Film". I ended up speeding this clip up because I got it slowly. This last part was easy, being that it was significantly less than the rest. I didn't need to include ant super fancy editing techniques, with more basic transitions than anything. All I have to do now is redownload the completed video to my computer an then wait a long time. From there, I need to blog.

"The Great Escape" and its conventions

 Being that it was shot in 1963, the quality of this film is noticeably different than the other two movies we looked at. Those are all considerably newer movies than "The Great Escape". One thing that I kept in mind while looking at this one was that this isn't a prisoner breaking out of a proper prison, rather  prisoner of war breaking out of a Nazi camp. Starting with mis-En-Scene, the costuming in this movie. The costuming was very spot on to the content. The costuming is accurate to the time and place, being a Nazi POW camp. The main supervisor/guard (Von Luger) is dressed properly in a Luftwaffe officer uniform, and the prisoners are all dressed in what they came in wearing. Being that this was a prisoner of war camp, the prisoners weren't robbed of their clothing, hair, or shoes, which the Nazis did in concentration camps. Additionally the set is very realistic. It was modeled after the true place (Stalaag III Prisoner camp), and the specific set is near identi...

Making Plans for Nigel -XTC

 Location: I plan to film mainly in the streets of Miami/Wynwood, but am also considering adding South Beach or Lauderdale by the Sea to my list of locations I really like the big city look of the Downtown Miami areas, whereas the artsy graffiti of Wynwood also really fits the song Costuming: Understanding that the lyrics and intentions of this song primarily applied to a changing youth, I began looking at countercultural movements. That being said, my idea of costuming is a mix of the 50's beatnik look, 70's punk look, and early 2000's hipster look. This means tight pants, preferably black or light washed denim jeans, flashy patterns/animal prints, stripes, leather boots or dress shoes, maybe some painted nails and messy hair, and chain necklaces Schedule: As of 11/16, I do not have a set schedule, however I plan to take a day from 11/20-11/28 and filming everything. I do have a relative time I'd like to film, and that's anywhere from mid-day until the evening.  Pr...

A study of Comedy

Comedy Common camera angles in your genre- The Push (Way Too Far) In: When the camera itself moves closer to a character, getting so close it hits them in the face The Pull (Way Too Far) out: The opposite of the way too far in, the camera itself moves very far back, which lets the audience know what's going on, usually provides context. It often goes too far out, which makes it comedic The "wait for it..."- when a camera stays still, often to mount tension or to build comedic effect if/when nothing happens Common Mis-en-Scene in your genre - In a comedy show, the soundtrack is generally more upbeat or bright, as opposed to the sinister tracks that are used more often in more serious television productions.  The costume designs in comedy shows can vary. Although the these shows don't often require some certain shades of colors in order to succeed, some shows use bright and vibrant colors to portray a sense of spontaneity. A great example of this would be the bright Gre...
