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…
2067 – Reflection
Making 2067 was one of the best experiences I’ve had so far. It was intense and fun, relaxing and torturing all at once. I feel like I’ve become more comfortable with expressing my ideas as the semester progressed and I’ve learned that putting myself out there fearlessly was the only way to find like-minded people and I’m proud of myself…
2067 – Post-production
I was busy with essays so I didn’t start editing until the day before the screening where we’re asked to screen our rough edits. So I quickly put something together the night before that. I was not worried about the visuals because I knew they’d connect seamlessly and make sense once I put them together. The only thing I was…
2067 – Production
We filmed Maddy’s part on Saturday and everything went well. It’s our first time ever officially shooting and working together and I’m glad that we all tried our best to be professional and had fun along the way. I know I’ve said probably a million times that the four of us got along very well and Lauren, our actress, also…
2067 – Pre-production
After agreeing on doing a sci-fi film with the main character being an AI, we went into script writing and asked everyone to write some plots/scenes or even lines that they wanted to see in the film. I couldn’t think of what I should do until the afternoon before the meet up, where we sat down and talked to Paul…
Color Grading Exercise
I took a random shot and color graded it using Premiere Pro. The first one has a cold tone, which goes with our idea of sci-fi as it is the common tone that’s used in the genre. I color graded the second one into a pink-lilac tone as I attempted to make it look dreamy. I was thinking of the…
