Molotov

I hate blogging. If you paint a painting from a photograph, the painter should not have to worry about copyright laws. I agree with Joy to just cite the source of the photograph and\or the person that took the photo like a person writing a paper and citing the source he or she got it from. The person should not have to contact the other. Beside Joy only used only section of the photo, not the whole thing. Susan s photo had meaning about the revolution, and Joys was about rioting......whats the difference? Rioting normally happens in a revolution.

The long take

I had fun last saturday shooting with the bolex camera. It would have been better if the temperature was a little cooler. My group didn't shoot first, but we helped out another group with their shoot. I was the grip, i guess thats right, pushing their camera operator around for their tracking shot. I had to keep the camera centered on the actors, by matching my speed of pushing to their walking speed. It took me a couple of times to get the speed of each actor, but some were not consisted, but i managed.



My group's orginal idea was that a person went behind something and another person came out. We change that to a so called love story about a pumpkin head guy and a scream head girl. I was the pumpkin head guy. We ran through the blocking a few times to were we felt comfortable with what we had. There was no problems with shooting it except that we had less then 56 seconds then what we supposed to have. The film did come out good, i loaded the film backwards, but thats ok, we can fixed it in final cut pro. It was a good experince using the bolex camera and it helps get me into blocking and timing the shot before shooting it.

48 hours

My idea for the film is to use pictures like in the film Fridays on the Farm. i will make it like the panels on a comic book and do voice overs for it. Since i work on tuesdays and wednesday after my classes it limits me on what i can do with an even more limited time. Can't wait to found out what the mystery prop is. I know it is a physical object, given the clue andre gave us. I will think up of an idea and just fill in the blank with the mystery object like Mad Libs or what ever they are called.

Second Scatch Film Junkies response

I liked this one better then the first film, we watched earlier this semster. It seems like there was a lot of things going on in the film. There are things that i seen on their film that i still wonder how or what they used to do it, but for the most part i kinda have an idea on how or they made the film.

I just wonder if they plan everthing or most of it, or do they do it as they go and see what they come up with. I like planning moments that i want, but not the whole thing, cause i like to be surprised to see what i come up with. This is how i did the first two projects. I did what came to my mind at that moment and let it brench off from there. I find that it is more creative for me that way and most of the time it is better then something that i plan everything for.
