CLASSWORK

 This post shows the summary of what we have learned in class in semester 1 term 1. In total, we have learned four main topics such as camera works, sound, miss-en-scene, and editing (which I missed)


Camera Works:

Types of Camera Angles:
1) Low Angle
2) High Angle
3) Close up
4) Extreme Close Up
5) Medium Shot
6) Long Shot
7) Extreme Long Shot
8) POV (Point of View)
9) Cowboy Shot
10) Over-the-shoulder
11) Establishing Shot
12) Dutch Angle


Here is what we did in class when each group was given specific camera angles and had to draw it out on an A5 paper.


Types of Camera Movements:
  

Fixed

Camera remains static

Calm, peace, normal

Push in

The camera moves slowly toward the subject

Brings the audience closer, more involved, and more serious. 

Pull out

The camera moves slowly away from the subject

Takes the audience away from the action, leaving a character. Detaching from subject

Pan 

Side to side, the camera is fixed

Reveal information, mirrors the natural head movement of the audience. 

Tilt

Up and down, the camera fixed

Same as the pan, just in a different direction

Dolly 

The camera moves around freely

More immersive, we are moving inside the subject world, we feel part of the action

Tracking

The camera moves around on tracks

Similar to dolly, but smoother. 

Crane

 

Reveals the epic size of the setting, and landscape. 

Handheld

Camera is shakey

Very natural, and immersive. High energy

Zoom

Zoom 

Brings the audience closer to budget. Draws our attention to something. 



Types of Sound:

Sound design is a crucial element in the filming industry as it has the power to create realism for the audience due to it being able to convey a mood on the audience mood and emotion that can truly enhance the viewing experience. From what I have learned there are three main types of sound:

 
 

Description

Effect

Diegetic sound

Sound that can be heard by the characters within the media text. 

Add a sense of realism. Reveal information to characters (and then the audience)

Non-diegetic sound

Sound that can only be heard by the audience.

Enhance meaning, create an emotional response in the audience

Trans diegetic sound 

Sound that transitions from one to the other. 

Creates a link between the audience and the world. More immersive



Non-diegetic sound is again divided into three types which are the following:

1) Melodic: They often give positive and pleasing connotations as they enhance a positive scene to create positive emotion in the audience.
2) Discordant: Uses harsh and unpleasant connotations to enhance negative scenes. Which creates suspense, tension, and anxiety.
3) Contrapuntal: It has an opposite tone to the on-screen values. It adds deeper meaning to scenes. Insight into the character's thoughts. Maybe they seek pleasure in doing bad things.

Miss-en-scene:
Miss-en-scene refers to the arrangement and design of visual elements within a frame or a scene. The main key elements are:

1) Props
2) Set Design
3) Costume
4) Hair
5) Make Up
6) Colour
7) Performance
8) Lighting 
9) Blocking
10) Focus
11) Weather
12) Environment

Editing:
Film editing is the process of assembling and cutting film footage to create a finished movie. It's a vital part of the film production process, as it's responsible for giving meaning to the film and helping the audience perceive the story as the director intends. In editing, there are 2 types of takes which are:

1) Long take: Used to build suspense, and extend the feelings (feels slow)
2) Short take/ Quick Cut: Used to increase pase, high energy/excitement

There are two types of editing:

1) Continuity Editing: Straight cut, eyeliner match, Shot/ reverse shot, Cutaway/ insert
2) Non-continuity Editing: Crosscut, flashback, flash forward, jump cut

Self ReflectionThe knowledge and classwork we did proved to be really helpful for the final tourism advertisement as it gave me a further understanding of how to convey meaning to the audience's emotions and appeal them to with our advertisement. The problem that I encountered throughout this whole term 1 was memorizing the names of the shots and movements and also that 1 lesson I missed where we learned to edit. However, the only way to catch up is by self-learning and asking my friends about it.

Storyboard

 STORYBOARD

Here is our storyboard










Self Reflection:
I originally wanted to do the storyboard but we decided to give the role to Kenzo since he has the best drawing skills, we do however helped him with the descriptions, but he mostly did it all by himself.

Self Reflection:
We had planned our filming schedules prior to filming however we had to choose another day since there were chaos in our team and we were arguing about unimportant things, so filming was ultimately postponed another week and then we finally filmed our scenes. A week later, me and kenneth returned to Taman festival without Kenzo to reshoot some scenes which we had no plans on doing prior, I just told him that we should go back to reshoot some scenes and he agreed.

Statement of intent

 Here is my statement of Intent for the tourism ad:


My group mate Kennth Lee did most of the writing and together we crafted some of the ideas. Most of the times, Kenneth Lee crafted some weird ideas into the statement of intent but everyone besides him in the group did not agree with him.

Location Scout & Risk Assesement

 

Before heading to our location to shoot the tourism ad, we list the locations and risk assessments in which we will likely shoot our film.

Location 1

Location:

Bali Festival Park, Padang Galak

Events in scene:

We'll be wandering around the site, exploring the rooms and

the sight of graffiti on the walls.

Pros of location:

  • Perfect for urban exploring lovers
  • The location is filled with graffiti, giving an urban vibe
  • The location is completely abandoned which matches the theme of our tourism advertisement.

Cons of location:

  • Filled with wild animals
  • Homeless people inhabiting some of the rooms
  • Shafts dug into the ground with water in them

Alternatives:

What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here? Any abandoned buildings we find on the side of the road.

Risk Assessment 

Potential hazards:

  • Wild animals, like snakes and spiders
  • Shafts dug into the ground with water in them
  • Unsafe as no official guards are present
  • Surrounded by huge forest
  • Homeless people living in some of the empty rooms
  • Possibility of tsunami as the location is by the beach
  • Possibility of building collapse as it has been abandoned for years.

Evaluate risks: 

  • Wild animals might unexpectedly attack us
  • Homeless inhabitants might be unfriendly
  • Shafts can be everywhere so we have to watch our steps
  • A tsunami might hit and completely wash off the site
  • Building collapse might take place at any time

Control measures:

We'll make sure to wear boots and bring torches with

extra batteries, and some money just in case.

Responsibility:

Kenzo (Me)

Time frame:

A few days before shooting.

Other notes:

-

Reflection: We primarily conducted the risk assessment collaboratively, with Kenneth Lee taking the lead on documenting our findings in the table. I believe that engaging in both risk assessment and location scouting is crucial, as it provides us with valuable insights into the challenges we may encounter before arriving on site. Without this proactive approach, we risk wasting significant time addressing unforeseen issues that could have been anticipated.

Filming Schedule
