Unlimited budget!

-

 Hey everyone!


Now due to this being a school project, we were left to our own devices and weren't given a budget. But lets picture what I would do if I had such an obscene amount of an endless supply to use for my film.


Costumes:

One thing I love, or hate, about a film is what the characters are wearing. If it is nice I will be drawn to it. If it adds to their character, I will be over the moon. Originally the group wanted it to be late 90's early 2000's themed. If I had the budget to afford the right pieces, even authentic ones, I will make it seem that the film was shot during that time period. Like Juicy Couture tracksuits when it was popular or ties over white tank tops. Get a costume designer who understands the trends that happened during that time and replicate it in the character's clothes. 


Setting/Props:

Can you imagine the most girlie 2000's room? Or the creepiest setting where the reveal will happen? With an unlimited budget, I could, again, follow trends that can make the audience say "oh that is so early 2000's of them". With different rooms and the props within them, the "brand new" telephones that are being introduced, big, janky computers, etc. It would be perfect and make the film look interesting, without focusing on the plot. 


Actors:

I made a previous blog on actors I wish could portray the characters, but with good actors comes with large amounts of money. Getting actors like Jenna Ortega is gonna cost a pretty penny, along with their trailer, numerous amounts of costumes, food, even security! This budget would cover all those expenses and leave no worry in anyone's mind.


Anyways, a dream I hope would come true in the future. Until next time!

Lighting!

 Let's talk lighting! So, to put this out there, we do not have these fancy equipment big budget movies have to create these amazing, eye watering scenes. But we have practical and natural lighting! Natural lighting: Me personally, natural lighting is the most beautiful kind of lighting. We had shot some scenes on bright, sunny days so it captured a beautiful aesthetic to our film. Even inside, we had used natural lighting in one of our scenes where my character was in the kitchen/dinning room. This is one of our biggest and most important light sources!      Here are some photos of us using natural lighting: Practical lighting: You don't have a huge lamp that can shine the brightest light for your scene?! ...then use practical lighting. From computers, to desk lamps, even ceiling lights; all are used to help set up mood and aesthetics for each scene.      Here are some photos of us using practical lighting:

Title Sequences!

 Hey! Welcome back.  The use of title sequences are nothing new. Having different clips edited together at the beginning of the movie is the best way to subtly introduce the audience to what they are about to experience. To be honest, I personally skip any intro sequences that don't raise my arm hairs, or sends a shiver down my spine. I enjoy title sequences that makes me excited to watch the film/show. Here are my 5 favorite title sequences and how they contribute to the over all show/film. Scott Pilgrim vs The World I could go on and on about how wonderful this movie is and how much detail was put in. At the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Knives Chau, who has just got into a relationship with our protagonist Scott Pilgrim. She comes over to the house to introduce herself to Scott's bandmates. The title sequence begins with her watching the band perform one of their songs. The weird, stretched out living room accompanied with animation that is timed with the beat...

Five Video Shot!

    Hello there! In the past few classes, we talked about different types of camera angles and shots. We discussed how they are used in film and how they help advance any feelings the director might want to include. For example, an extreme close-up shot is commonly used to help explain what a character's feeling. After being taught these techniques, we were asked to create some example shots of our own. With the help of some friends, I was able to experiment with different camera shots. Establishing Shot: This was the first shot I recorded. Similarly to many movies, I wanted to take an establishing shot to show the area I will be recording all my videos, my school's garden. Just from this shot alone, the viewers are able to tell that it is taken place during the daytime, with sunny weather.  Close Up: While looking around to shoot for a close-up shot, I found this pretty butterfly. With a close-up shot, I was able to figure out that it was a wooden butterfly due to its te...
