Director Steven Sidebar shot both parts of the movie 'Che' entirely with the Red One camera. Soderbergh is very enthusiastic about the camera stating that 'this is the camera I've been waiting for my whole career: jaw dropping imagery recorded on board a camera light enough to hold with one hand. I dont know how Jim and the Red team did it, - and they won't tell me- but I know this: Red is going to change everything'. He again used the Red One for his subsequent films The Girlfriend Experience and The Important!. The Academy Award-nominated District 9 was mostly shot using nine Red Ones.<br />
<br />
Werner Herzog shot his film My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? with the Red One. He was disappointed with the camera's long reboot times, saying 'It drove me insane, because sometimes something is happening and you can't just push the button and record it'. He described the camera as 'an immature camera created by computer people who do not have a sensibility or understanding for the value of high prescision mechanics'.Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-4959481411611959452011-03-23T03:35:00.000-07:002011-03-23T03:35:45.839-07:00Disney's 'Mars Needs Mom' - A flop?For the institutions and audiences paper, a film's failure is sometimes more instructive than its being a success. Disney's $175 million flop could spell the end of the current spate of 3D film making and end expensive spending in CGI and other costly effects using digital technology. There's a recession on you know and it may be set to get much worse after the summer. The impact of this big tent pole and 3D films could be dramatic, especially when films like 'The King's Speech' can be produced for less than $12 million dollars and win Oscars and Baftas.<br />

After about 80% of the people who saw 'Avatar' in 3D, people assumed that the 3D format would quickly overtake the theatrical distribution. But recently the 3D's box office trajectory has been going downwards almost ever since the moviegoers apparently growing disinterested in paying high ticket prices for uneven quality.</span></span><br />

And the most recent 3D release, Warner's converted was 'Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty <span style="color: black;">Galore' which grossed only about $6.9 million in 3D revenue for its opening weekend -- the worst performance in the format's modern era.</span></span></span><br />

The New York Times noted on Ruesday, nearly 60 3D releases queued up for the next two years, the 'bulls' can still be found in herds back in hollywood. In fact, the flurry will continue this weekend, when Disney releases 'Step Up 3D'.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
Studio executives stridently dispute tyhe notion that the public is losing interest in 3D, despite data that shows on a percentage basis, a declining amount of box office dollars have been spent on 3D tickets of late.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgke6IA6VqKLj2QCFA4nYtWZzw74Oa7_kLDNYfIScCNCMutMf1jCO45gM28bTPqxvqTm4I1fxE3mGu0XmhwHwCl_7ChUMDSs6qwsB1JixbNc-s0b-oEUd0pCjt6I6NKks17D7Dd_CG9iTrO/s1600/moon-movie-poster1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgke6IA6VqKLj2QCFA4nYtWZzw74Oa7_kLDNYfIScCNCMutMf1jCO45gM28bTPqxvqTm4I1fxE3mGu0XmhwHwCl_7ChUMDSs6qwsB1JixbNc-s0b-oEUd0pCjt6I6NKks17D7Dd_CG9iTrO/s200/moon-movie-poster1.jpg" width="135" /></a></div>The Film 'Moon' was directed by Duncan Jones and starred Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey, Rockwell plays the lead of 'Sam Bell' who is an astronaut working on the moon harbouring Helium 3 which is energy from the sun trapped on the surface on the moon. Spacey plays the robot 'Gerty' at the base.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The film is aimed for a unique audience, it definitely does not fit the four quadrant. The film is mainly about expressing Sam's feelings, which is what brings out the complexity of the film.The certificate of the film is a 15, which is why it isn't a four quadrant picture, children wouldn't be able to watch it and I think in my personal opinion that it definitely doesn't to a stereotypical teenager. I think that it's aimed for older people like Uni students and upwards, the reason for this is because while I was watching it, it tackles the topic of loneliness, it shows how a person can change over time in isolation which is what makes the film so interesting.<br />
<br />
The film has basic special effects, this is because of the budget of the whole production, they only had five million dollars to do everything. Also the whole movie was filmed in one month. Which is very unusual because most movies take six months to a year to film.</div>Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-1945602253708439612010-11-08T11:49:00.000-08:002010-11-08T11:49:38.954-08:00Valentine's Day & Love Actually<object id="vp1a3GhM" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1289245732&f=a3GhMZgQID16Q1wmaIXkvQ&d=197&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed id="vp1a3GhM" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1289245732&f=a3GhMZgQID16Q1wmaIXkvQ&d=197&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object>Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-42368380423707691972010-09-29T01:45:00.000-07:002010-09-29T04:40:27.662-07:00Pre Production Of Magazine.<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We were given a task to create a new college magazine, I decided to base my magazine of student lifetsyle for men. I want to include the things such as Fashion, Sports, Music, Films and Gadgets. These would be the things that are involved in each and every student's lives, even though not all of them apply to the students, but at least one of them will take intrest from a student which will make them want to open up the magazine and read it. We had to include a medium shot and a close-up photo, then a masthead.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I then had to come up with a a colour scheme, I chose the colours: black, white and red. This keeps in line with the rule of three, only having three colours, more will be too much and make it look too busy and unnatractive. When I look at magazine covers such as VOGUE, GQ, LOVE, DETAILS they all have only three colours on the cover, which is why I thought that I should use only three because it will make it look much more professional than just throwing in random colours that clash.</span><br />

I also decided that I was going to call my magazine 'HOMME' which translates 'MEN' in french. I thought that this would be a good name for the magazine because it would stand out like 'VOGUE'.</div>Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-71033412668048562142010-09-27T06:03:00.000-07:002010-09-27T06:03:31.484-07:00Magazine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizblENc2aRifsFzoCNq1WwL83RAYJrST-5mKX4g7J7as6fx7ot7PF8wxIOW8WQSuJFbGvM0XgqLz_XlOmv8DAwhRIZeKZlgWjib9coDHWOPJdgGn9c6VehT7c-tdZlNkko7fRQ6wzzkGcH/s1600/Media+Magazine+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizblENc2aRifsFzoCNq1WwL83RAYJrST-5mKX4g7J7as6fx7ot7PF8wxIOW8WQSuJFbGvM0XgqLz_XlOmv8DAwhRIZeKZlgWjib9coDHWOPJdgGn9c6VehT7c-tdZlNkko7fRQ6wzzkGcH/s640/Media+Magazine+copy.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We learnt how to copy and extract audio from the clips and put them in the background of another shot which was quite effective. We started to cut our shots, and putting them together so it'll flow continuously.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">We did have a problem when we filmed two different shots, it was of Eleanor walking through the door, and her walking down the corridor. The problem was that in the first shot of her walking through the door, the lighting was brighter, and in the second, it was darker. Therefore when we put the two shots together, it looked like she wasn't in the same place.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">But we fixed it by using an close up of her foot walking, this will make the audience think that she has walked further down the corridor than she actually has which is why the lighting is different. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">We still haven't finished our whole film because we didn't get the chance to finish filming all the shots in the lesson, but we only have one left to do which is of Eleanor and Ella having a conversation which was in the brief that was given to us.</span></span><br />

Also surrounding him is a golden light, this suggests that he is somewhat of an angel, coming down from the gates of heaven coming to help the people. As he continues to walk down the corridor, his face is hidden from the audience, all the audience can see is a silhouette of a policeman walking down. The silhouette could imply the idea of power of the uniform, you don't actually have to see the man himself. It is the uniform that gives the man the power, and without it. He is just another normal citizen on the street. We also hear his footsteps getting louder and louder as he gets closer to the camera, this would also imply the idea of power of the uniform.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

He also received the 'Baton Of Honor', good with 'Advance Driving' and 'Advance Cycling'. This shows that he has worked hard for what he has, and he is also very proud and takes a lot of pride in his work. On screen, all the shots are very fast paced, the director has done this on purpose because he wants the audience to see how much he has achieved, and make them feel sorry for him when he gets the one thing thats he's good at. Being a Policeman, being taken away from him.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

I imagined what it would've looked like in my mind, and then drew it out on paper. This gave me a much more clearer picture of what the my shots would look like, and by making sure that I make sure that the continuity flows. The task was to create a series of shots of someone walking down a corridor, opening a door and then sitting down and having a conversation.<br />
<br />
1) Long Shot - Shooting from the back, walking down the corridor.<br />
<br />
2) Close-up - Of the person's phone next to their ear.<br />
<br />
3) Medium Shot - Looking though at door in a room, on the right wall of the corridor. You see the person walking past.<br />
<br />
4) Long Shot - Walking past another door on the left wall of the corridor.<br />
<br />
5) Medium Shot - Looking through a door in a room, on the left wall of the corridor. You see the person walking past.<br />
<br />
6) Long Shot - When they have walked past the door on the left, a shot of them at the door.Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-76193635083721961422010-09-13T08:48:00.001-07:002010-09-13T08:49:26.493-07:00American Beauty Homework<strong><u>To Write 200-300 words analysing mise-en-scene, camera angles, sounds in the opening sequence of 'American Beauty'</u></strong><br />
<br />
American Beauty is a film directed by Sam Mendes made in 1999. The plot follows an American family living in the suburbs. It portrays the idea of the picture perfect family, but behind the pretend smiles, the movie tells the real story of this family. An angry daughter, a real estate mother and a father who gets attracted to his daughter's best friend.<br />
<br />
The sequence opens up with one of the characters filming on a camcorder of the daughter. We also hear the tape of the camera re-winding which also let's the audience know that this is shot by an amateur. We see the daughter wearing simple bottoms and a vest top. By what she is wearing, the viewers start to see that she is comfortable with showing skin in front of the character she's talking to. This suggests that they may be involved or together.<br />
<br />
We then move on to see the title of the movie, 'American Beauty' in red. The red could be foreshadowing the roses to come and the death of the father.<br />
<br />
A long shot was then used to show the neighbourhood of the suburbs, we see nice houses with trees on the side of the roads and white picket fences in the front lawn. <br />
<br />
As the camera moves further into the sequence, we have a high shot from the ceiling looking down at a father being woken up by his alarm in a king bed. On the other side of the bed, we see that there was someone else who was sleeping there. Which suggest that he's either married or seeing someone. Then we have a close up of his face, he held a tired expression, like he was tired with his life and waking up to another was a burden. <br />
<br />
In conclusion, Sam Mendes has used different camera angles, sounds and mise-en-scene in the opening sequence to give the audience a glimpse in their mind of what is to come. <br />

- Contuinity <br />
- Close - Up<br />
- Composition<br />
<br />
When telling the audience where the film is set, the director would a long shot. This lets us help the viewers see the important information that they need to know, like where the characters are.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1P-iFrSCsjlBQ2ZswmvCduOktp-XGnThxk36f10cV0D0hPgLdtsXeTxG3fnDlT7JdNSA45pjTId8Yl0rowRFgChtTUKFSviI0LNJBFZFKnRw9giNVCJwWedj0mO1ceIjg6U0afcrc8qE/s1600/Long+Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1P-iFrSCsjlBQ2ZswmvCduOktp-XGnThxk36f10cV0D0hPgLdtsXeTxG3fnDlT7JdNSA45pjTId8Yl0rowRFgChtTUKFSviI0LNJBFZFKnRw9giNVCJwWedj0mO1ceIjg6U0afcrc8qE/s320/Long+Shot.jpg" /></a></div><br />
A Medium - Shot is the most commonly used shot in cinema. It is used to show any character interaction. For example, the shot would have two characters talking to each other. Therefore letting the viewer see whats around and where they are like at a resturant, office etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxuHV6mqsAhLOVDVieXHTdt0-Wf9ApnOzAvZBSWSYxvM0V_VO3pOtPJKSNR1Z6OgPtcQrnyL8VS9hIdyvN99CzXyjVrmFTgCDiXPmH7YqnS4hkqK4PNpg0bHbY0i9K5yj2u6AyJoCzwHi/s1600/Medium+Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxuHV6mqsAhLOVDVieXHTdt0-Wf9ApnOzAvZBSWSYxvM0V_VO3pOtPJKSNR1Z6OgPtcQrnyL8VS9hIdyvN99CzXyjVrmFTgCDiXPmH7YqnS4hkqK4PNpg0bHbY0i9K5yj2u6AyJoCzwHi/s320/Medium+Shot.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Close - Up something/ someone important to show the audience. E.g. If a person was married, the director would have a close up at the characters hand showing a wedding ring.<br />
<br />
<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Conintuity - Generally refers to visual errors. In very basic terms, it means having a character in a red top one seconf then a blue top the next. Seeing something that wasn't in the shot a second ago, but just appeared out of no where.</div><br />
Cutting / Editing - Essential, otherwise films would be in real time and woud never end. It allows the director to change locations. The main use is to either add pace to a scene to make it exciting or to slow it down for dramatic emphasis.Bank Chue-Intahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07618851408566157487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238998602797285173.post-75890144006094221622010-09-08T01:35:00.000-07:002010-11-15T01:33:01.055-08:00Hello<div style="text-align: center;">I have chosen to do Media Studies because I have an interest in Music, Fashion and Films. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of just watching films, I would like to know how they are made. The processes that are needed to make it into a film and the media side of fashion.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I read a lot of fashion magazines, from VOGUE to GQ to Nylon and Vanity Fair. I think that Fashion has really become a part of our culture, its not just for celebrities with money anymore. Its become a part of everyone of us, it makes us what we are. How we present ourselves to others.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I think that Music is also an important part of our culture because it is involved in our lives everyday even if we may not know it. You might be watching an advert and a song comes on, or you could be listening to your iPod or listening to the radio in the car on the way to school.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm the same when it comes to movies as well, I like anything really. From Horror to Comedies and Romantic Comedies. One of my favorite films is 'Mean Girls', it wasn't the story line that made me really like it, it was how it was used in conversations at school. People would reference back to the movie like calling girls who wear too much makeup 'Plastics' and it is just so memorable. It is one of those movies that you just can never get tired of, like 'Titanic'. I have watched that movie like a gazillion times and still, it doesn't bore me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
