Collaboratively

a blend of both

Recently i have watched a animation which named BoJack Horseman. I found it is quite interesting to analyze the scenes in the animation, and of course compared with film or TV it has some similarity. I quite like the opening so i just talk about it.

My point of view is that the animation is not limited by some situation which the film and TV needed consider like the location and other circumstance. The opening is a good example.

In this several scenes, we can find that it might be difficult to realize in reality. THE COOL pan shot. We can easily understand through the form of drawing however it‘s difficult for real people, especially in the scene BoJack fall in the swimming pool.

GETTING AN IDEA 

My idea come up from the traffic, i think it could be a symbol for a city, then i found that tram is the most symbolic mark for Melbourne especially compared with some other places, so my stories might started with two transportations,train and tram. This is a begin of two Romance short films.

love drama 1(Tram)

This is a romantic story, the actor often encounter the same girl (actress) on the same tram. According to tradition, they should be fall in love，so one day they met in the station (yet the scriptwriter have not decided what would happen) It is a love story! But i have some idea about some details, like the girl should be holding a book and it would be shoot at Flagstaff station or Parliament station.And i took some photos in parliament station, i thought it would be good.

Following attach could be some angle of the shoot or camera positions.

love drama 2 (Train)

The inspiration comes from myself, the day when i went to Victoria Market i missed the train just few seconds, then i thought why could it be a story happened with a couple.So here is the draft of the story.

The actress had some depression(could be some dialogue between the couple)and the actor give some encourage， they were talking while working to the tram stops, but the tram was just passed by in front of them(they missed the tram)if they choose to go to the next stop ,they had to run, because the red light might stop the tram for a while, so they decided to caught it, the actor holding her hand all the way, however they still missed it, but she seems to find the courage…(it seems stupid)

I thought the best location for it would be William street.

Next week i will record some transportation sound which could help my stories and watch a movie which filmed at station.

The inspiration

灵感全无的一天，对于我自己，其实不想写离生活遥远的剧本，想切实的写点轻松愉快的东西。洗好澡在床上突然气氛有点适合早年王家卫的蓝莓之夜，相比较花样年华或者春光乍泄更喜欢爵士浓厚的蓝莓之夜，就像名字一样有点慵懒有点暧昧又可以在酸涩里尝到甜头的My bluebarry Night。光看了开头灵感就涌现了。好啦 那我起笔编个暧昧涌动却又不戳破的小故事吧。想把这些小情绪通过镜头音乐表达噜。

The outline

时间：夜晚酒吧打烊时

地点：酒吧兼餐厅

人物：酒吧经营者男主角   情绪失落女主角

暧昧细节

I think it is hard for me,so leave it here, waiting for the opportunity later.

At the beginning of all, my aim is tiny simple which is “understanding” films and enjoy the film with professional understanding. Of course how to make a film might on the list as well. And these are the reasons for me to choose the film 3 studio. I am happy it is close to my expectation even it is just week 4, i have some new perspectives when i watching films. I kind of fall in a emotion that helps me going to a deep thinking, especially during the class and the class practices. These kind of experience expand my mind when i first watch a film.

For example, before learning i always attract by film script, and this is the only way for me to judge a movie. Judging a movie weather a good or bad is only the narrow understanding. Upon this semester I might unintentionally attention the vision itself or how to say (the “film” itself), such as sound and light color camera angle, Of course, how to edit is also a point. These are mentioned in the last few weeks of tutorial. For instance, recently the other course Asia cinema require us to watch the Japanese film Tokyo drifter（ 1966 Seijun Suzuki ）Suzuki is good at layout stage, his camera is ideal for drama and i like the music as well.

Perhaps what we have learned in the course like focus and white balance might be the  basis ,it is  a pieces of cake for masters but for me, these newcomers may also cause problems, for example, I did not even familiar with filming equipment, that Paul hope that write down the data of our shoots last Friday. I have to asked the students who experienced.

After few weeks, my acquaintance  is that imagination is always different from actuality. Shooting is the last reference, the situation appears in a real shooting is the most unpredictable, and sometimes even shoot around you, and finally I was finally taken down all the things that control. I think those powerful master must also be experienced, they might practice more than one million times.

This week tutorial made me feel like we were on the right track, not only the progress but also the exercise,  especially this Friday.  As usual, Paul took some time to introduce what white balance is. White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the “colour temperature" of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.(from google)

WB is a word which i know about form photograph, however obviously it also belongs to filming.  Instead of talking, we jump into exercises in group of 3 to collect images for a 1or2 minute “abstract"film as the fragments Paul showed before.

This time, it seems to be more technique touch(at least for me).JESS KIRALEE and I  decided picking the natural environment view near building 9. Actually none of us know clearly about the professional words like which one is the focus point . To avoid that kind of problem and also for learning i took some picture as below. After the class i asked Haisi, she has touched this kind of stuff last semester. I am happy our studio system like this. Helping each other with the weakness.

At last i also got some valuable note from class：（it must be help for me during next shooting）
