Major Project TERM III - Considering the influence my art has

 During today's class we were discussing what influence our creations have on the real world.

Test Shot for Scene 1

What influence could your project have in the real world? 

While my project will not make an actual, visible difference to the world, since it is more of an art project not an affordable housing option or something in those categories, It might bring a bit of fun and enjoyment to the people who need it right now. This film have a lot of correlations with the current state of the world, therefore I believe that people watching it could relate to it and this way it could bring them at least a few minutes of peace.

Will your project show a point of view or show something that might make people think differently?

As I said, I believe that people will relate to the story told in my short film, since the scenery and actions shown in this film relate to the way we all feel right now. Alienated from our friends, and isolated in our homes.

How else does your work have influence? 

This film will not change anything drastically, after all it is an artistic film so we cannot expect from it anything it isn't. Beside giving a minute of relief to the ones watching it in these trying times, I think that if I succeed in creating this whole film only by myself, I might inspire a few people to start creating on their own instead complaining that they don't have crew or actors or screenwriters. 

Why is it important?

To be frank, in the grand scheme of things this film is not important at all. There are many films dealing with similar problems which might be even better than mine. It is important to me however, I feel like it is a big step for me in film production and a big step for me as an artist. I am always getting excited about new project which I want to create and I am always putting the bar as high for them as I possibly can. It gives me willingness to create and finish those projects.

Major Project TERM III - Dream sequences in film Research

Image
In the last part of my research connected to this term's major project I will be looking closely into different dream sequences in cinema. I will analyse how different filmmakers are visualizing them in their own visual style. I will be looking at four films in which we can either see a dream sequence or the majority of the film is a dream. The four films being, ' Spellbound ' (1945) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, ' Inception ' (2010) made by Christopher Nolan, ' Anima ' (2019) created by Paul Thomas Anderson, and finally ' Wild Strawberries ' (1957) directed by Ingmar Bergman. Spellbound (1945) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound (1945) dream sequence Probably the most recognizable dream sequence in film history, and for good reason. The scenography created for this sequence was done by Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist whose one of a kind visual style can be easily recognized in every frame of this scene.  While the style does not appeal...

Sequential Photography - research, study, and final artwork

Image
You could say that the origin of sequential photography, as important by itself, is also the origin of cinema. Not the Lumière brothers, but Eadweard Muybridge can be recognized as a pioneer of film. Edweard Muybridge was an English photographer. His fame started when in 1868 Eadweard photographed Yosemite Valley in California, but today he is famous for initiating a new photography trend which is our today's topic. Sequential Photography 1 Sequential imagery is a photographic technique of taking many following pictures in a short period of time. It can be used for a variety of reasons, ranging from showing movement of someone or something to telling a compelling story. An actual origin story of the pictures above is interesting in itself. Eadweard Muybridge wanted to prove his friend that horses during gallop are pulling or their legs at the same time. Because of this trivial bet we now can enjoy films and TV series. Sequential photography 2 First set of my sequential photos I too...

Major Project TERM III - Production and Post-production PART I

Image
As of now I completed three days of shooting, and shot around 30%-35% of the needed footage. It takes more time than I anticipated but I think I will finish everything on time. I cannot really shoot outside during the weekend since there is a lot of people on the streets at night during these days, so I have to go out during the weekdays. It slows the production a bit since now I have most of the interior shots done, so the only things I need to shoot are outside. I also understood quickly that making everything by myself is far more difficult and complicated than I anticipated. There are some shots which I imagined in my mind that are not looking as good when I shoot it. Nevertheless, focusing on the positive I have finished shooting and editing first page of the script. The entire editing process with the actual edited part of the film at the end. You can view it here. This part ranges from the beginning of the script to the first scene on the second page. Shooting around one to thre...
