Title Research: Bohemian Rhapsody


- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
Just the companies behind the film and then the film title
- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
 The image of the protagonist waking up and starting his day, and then the large crowds awaiting his performance
- What connotations do these images carry?
They bring to light the fame that the protagonist has, while at the same time showing his morning routine so we relate to him in a more intimate sense.
- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?
 This is going to be a personal story as shown by how the camera is very zoomed in on little details of his routine
- What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to it's target audience?
The background music belongs to the person whom the protagonist is meant to portray
- How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques
The camera glides across screen and zooms in frequently, it nearly never stops.

Short film research: Kiss Chase(drama/coming of age/)

Image
Clare follows a girl who is stated in the description to be about 11. However, the actor as well as the rest of the actors who are supposedly her age look to be about 14. She is left out of the activities of her classmates, who seem to share intimate sexual experiences they're a bit too young for. There are undertones of her being one of the only POC students there. She feels left out, until she shares an intimate experience with a male classmate she likes. That's pretty much it, this one was my least favorite. I thought the story was realistic but in terms of message and maybe morals I don't like it, it's an uncomfortable narrative, which may have been the intention? Frankly i'm not sure, regardless the story I thought was bad. The script was okay, grounded in reality to an extent. I say to an extent because the kids are a bit too openly mocking of the protag. The cinematography was okay, the camera doesn't tend to move too much, but it works. It would have ben...

Production blog: Prop construction

Image
 After buying all the supplies I needed, it was time to construct the actual puppets and props. I began with painting the paper bags. First I had to cut the handles at the end, so that I could out my hand in the bag and puppet without issue. It took more layers of paint than I imagined. It took several times to get my desired color on the puppets. This was probably the main reason it took a few layers. They took a long time to dry as well, which makes sense. I tried to mix in the white paint I purchased with my old acrylic pants, but it was of low quality, so I made do without it. The brushes worked out fine. To be fair, the sponge brushes were good, the normal paint brushes could have been better. Other than the bit of struggle with the paper bags, I painted the other props with no issue.  The elephant was wooden so it took several layers of gray, but it turned out nice, especially with the googly eye, it was pretty cute. I thought about making the bee puppet out of paper, bu...

production- even more setbacks

Image
 I got ready to record actual film yesterday, gathering all the props I needed. The glitter prop wasn't the color I wanted, but the texture was the way I wanted. I got a ride to pick up the person assisting I arrived at the park to film. I forgot a couple of props, as it turns out. A, B, and C were meant to sit on a blanket, and have little food props, but I forgot those two things. They aren't integral to the film, but I felt it as though it would give the film a whimsical aesthetic. I was disappointed but decided I would film without them. I set up the little plates with the stuffed animals which was super cute actually, but it felt strange without a blanket. I did struggle in where to set everything up to have the best lighting. There was only one picnic table with a view that wasn't distracting. It also happened to have pretty good lighting, which, at first, seemed like the prefect stop, so decided to set up to film there. Once I began to finish organizing props and set...
