Sad trombone website

-

 I had to redo my website today. This was incredibly frustrating. After remaking my website once already, I had to do it again. This is the third website I have made for this project. I am coming to my wit's end with this portion of the assignment but prevailed nonetheless. For this website, I used the Movie Coming Soon template. I like this template a lot more. It's a smaller layout and isn't as all-consuming or enveloping as the portfolio one. This template is a short page with 5 buttons: Information, Cast and Crew, Story, Home, and Contact Information.


  1. Home Page: The home page is the first page that visitors will see when they visit the website. It includes a header with the website's name, and a menu bar with links to the other pages of the website.

  2. Cast and Crew: Under the cast and crew section, I highlight the three people who worked on my short film: My brother Andrew, my mom Jennifer, and myself, Alex Rosenblum. I am credited with writing, directing, executive producing, designing production, cinematographer, and being the best boy. My brother is credited as playing Jim Hardover and my mom is credited as playing Dr. Linda Stevenson.

  3. Story: Here, I include a synopsis of the script. It's fairly all-encompassing and contains spoilers, but it hits all of the important plot points.

  4. Home: The home button is pretty self-explanatory. It takes the users from the various pages back to the home page. My one issue is that I was unable to remove it from being on the home page, so it exists there as well.

  5. Contact Information: Here, I linked my contact info. I refrained from linking my cellphone number, but I did include my personal email. I also link the film's Instagram, which is "@Gambleditallaway". On the right side of the page is a set of boxes where users can submit comments which I believe works and I can read.

"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...
