Week 4 Reflection

Two Line Script https://drive.google.com/file/d/108fdeOPPBgfOSrBWTsm0m6oXK2Dnosce/view?usp=sharing I totally forgot that we could only write no more that 2 lines and two actions for each character so it turned out to be really long haha but I had fun writing it. Scriptwriting was never the part of filmmaking that I’d usually enjoy. Because I think sometimes when you put the visuals in your…

SMALL THINGS

The only goal for me is to keep on doing what I’m doing. So I guess my aims would be: To put thinking into actions more often. To acquire more technical knowledge about filmmaking. To put the knowledge about lighting that I learned in FILM LIGHT into practice. Robin’s studio really changed that way I understand cinema. And now I…

Week 2 Reflection

Make The Bed For this exercise I didn’t do any preproduction. I only had some images in my head before I started filming. I think the most obvious mistake is the lighting. When I was filming, it was around 4:30pm so the sun was going down very quickly which resulted in unstable lighting through out the filming session. I tried…

Week 1 Reflection

For ex1 I filmed Linda walking into the frame and taking photos of the motorbike. The shot looks seriously over exposed and it’s weird because I looked through the viewfinder when I was filming and it seemed fine on the screen. The zebra pattern was not on so it’s hard to determine the level of exposure of the shot precisely.…

Reflection on Exercise 18

This was the last class exercise we did together and was probably the best one of all. We spent the longest time on setting up lighting, eventually using one white board and three black boards to get the ideal look. The effort we spent on these boards were definitely worth it because the final effect was really cool. The whole…

Reflection on Exercise 15

Our group did the script BARNEY, which was a really intense scene like something from a Mission Impossible film. Here’s the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AS2bC0tpAgqVGy5u1D3MPqw8TlkYW4EX/view?usp=sharing We spent almost 1hr and 30 mins just to get the lighting right. It’s probably the longest time I’ve ever had on designing lighting and as a result, the lighting looked brilliant and perfectly suitable for the…

Reflection on Project 2

Here’s our original scene: Here’s the link to the script: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kBknzmSgpot3bC8ZsOMrtUO0V-xxHmq/view?usp=sharing Since we didn’t have to prepare a Mrs. Bates this time, we didn’t spend much time on props. However, we spent ages looking for an ideal location to film at. The problem we had for this one was the direction of the lighting. We filmed all of governor Kobayashi’s…

Reflection on Project 1

Here’s our recreation scene of Hitchcock’s Psycho: The worst struggle we had while shooting was to darken the background, which was the metal door. We could not recreate the scene exactly because the garage was really tiny and had a different structure than the basement in Psycho, so we decided to make Lila Crane appear from the dark. We spent a…
