next week

Hi all,

Brief re-cap on what's due next week:
-- rough cut for project 1: this entails a full sequence for your essay / autobiographical project.
things to consider are: camera angles, lighting, sound; as integral components to cinematic language. keep in mind the readings we have been discussing as trigger points for thought and execution. for instance: how does the 'black screen' enunciate the absence of body and the presence of sound, possibly emanating from a body or environment? how do camera angles relate to how characters / situations are portrayed? (intimate as in a close, encompassing as in a long shot etc...how do these 'follow' each other sequentially to unveil the story or emotional landscape, mood of the film) abstraction & representation, depiction & evocation etc

use the words you selected as materials that can inform your work; these can serve as structural paradigms or 'mood' paradigms: for instance, libido can allude to intensity shifts in your piece (through colour, sound, pacing, rhythm etc), error can present itself as a discontinuity in sequence, or a form of rupture that presents an alternate possibility for the viewer; excess can be perceived as a structural element: for instance, the film gradually becomes more populated in form or action or presents an increment in sound etc

we will review your pieces next week & will go over some technical aspects of recording image,
these are: exposure, white balance, colour temperature and aperture
(below are some wiki posts that can get you started)

any questions welcome / will be out this weekend returning monday

kindly,
c
