Media and Design

In this week, we covered the lecture about montage and also use of transitions in the movie. In order to put together videos side by side, montage is the most important step to create watchable movies for audience. As we watched the most terrible movie in the classroom, we also recognized importance of the montage in movie. For example, even if we shot whole car travel by camera, we cant use all the road scene at the same time. Audience get bored while they are watching the movie. The first important rule for filmmaker is that not bored people, make curiosity. This makes audience full concentration in movie. So, at that time, we use montage. Montage makes films dynamic. Morever, if selection of music matches with the movie tempo, also it makes more dynamic. Audiences also feel like they are in movie. The way using music makes people sad, happy, nervous etc.   The another important part is using transition in movies. While watching a movie, we try to make connection be...

In this week, we covered a lecture about mise-en-scene, props, costumes, lightening. These are important and also necessary aspects to create a movie. These are made a movie look more great   . Set design, costumes give clues what movie is about. Every topic needs to have connection with subject/genre so audience understand by looking at image.   In this week, we   also watched first episode of Legion, which was about a man with schizophrenia and also his extraordinary power. David hears weird sounds in his mind and when he hears these sounds, it is also connected with creature which is called devil with a yellow eyes. Addition to this, these weird sounds in his mind refer to there is a negative situation and that negative situation   usually creates another huge disaster. He control things with his mind and when he feels negatively and start to hear sounds, everything is going to explode everywhere. When he feels like that in the episode, it is also co...

In this week, we learned knowledge about lightening which is one of the most important aspects in the movie, video clip, photography etc. Light changes everything in shot, depends on angles, it can give emotional atmosphere or dark feeling or give any emotions. There are many types of light technique that gives have a chance to reach any of feeling in the video or photograph. In the lighting workshop, while we were creating the set, the most I like is that using red, green and blue colours in the photographs. I like creating silhouette and low key lighting. It was enjoyable class hours to spend our time because studio gives us to understand more about lighting compare to the classical powerpoint lecture.   Lighting is everything because in the movie or video clip, even if your framings, sounds are good, when your lighting is not matching with the idea of what you want to give message of this shot, your whole work could be in trash. Therefore, lighting setting is...

Alice in Wonderland is written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. The book is about a girl named Alice falling through a hole into a fantasy world and what she face with different creatures in that place. Even if Lewis Carroll created book for children also adults are interested in this tale. He didn’t know how his story become so popular for many years later. Now, his story have been the subject of adaptations and also they have been transformed into new forms of media. In the story, it has so much imaginative characters, they can talks, sings etc. so, this absurd nature of Wonderland also gives the producers and film making sectors to present their imagination in a unique ways. When I was a child, I watched cartoon version of this story and I enjoyed it because the story itself has broad imagination.  Walt Disney Pictures presented the movie by Tim Burton. Tim Burton has a characteristic style in his whole films and I really curious about before the fil...
