Scene Analysis 2
In this blog post, I will be analyzing a scene from The Square (2017), directed by Ruben Östlund. In this 12-minute scene, a Russian artist named Oleg Rogozjin performs as a chimpanzee to terrorize a black-tie museum gala in Stockholm where the biggest donors and curators are present, including the protagonist, Christian, who is the curator of X-Royal museum. In a…
Week 4 Reflection
The filming today was super energy-consuming but also immensely fun. We started a facebook chat last Wed and planned the roles beforehand so everyone would know what to do when they come to the set. It was very sunny outdoors so we spent quite some time on finding a location that was shaded. We filmed it on building 10’s rooftop…
Week 3 Reflection
In this week’s practical class, we learned how to control the depth of field. The task was to film two portraits with one of them having the shallowest depth of field that could be manipulated to and the other was the greatest depth of field. We decided to have two people in the frame so it’s easier to see the…

Night Windows by Edward Hopper
The painting looks like an oil on canvas painting, depicting the life of a single woman. The painting consists of 3 primary colors – blue, red and yellow and 2 of the secondary colors – green and orange as the main colors in the bright areas. The blue curtain swaying in the breeze balances out the red wall blanket (?) as…
A Clip from Brideshead Revisited (2008)
The clip shows the bit where Charles is invited to Sebastian’s home to spend the summer together. The music is one of the themes called “Sebastian”, sounding mildly cheerful with a hint of melancholy, just like the character. The quick cut of what they’ve done during the summer conveys the fleeting of good times, making the audience want their time…
Reflection 2
The most interesting bit of Wednesday’s class was when we’re introduced to the function of diffusion papers. I used to think that it could only make light softer but it can be observed in the images that it also changes the key to fill ratio, making the left side face of the subject more filled. The explanation to this would…
Reflection 1
Doing Film Light kind of takes me back to when I first started to think about lighting in films. It was when I was filming my first couple of short videos in high school. Watching films never really had me thinking about how lighting was done, but when it came to making my own stuff, I found out that lighting…
