Documentary movie finale

My group and I planned out everything we wanted to film however a few days before we needed to submit our movie we came to the realization that we didn’t have enough time to film all we wanted and the process of it all would take too long. In the end we changed our idea completely from it being a documentary to a thriller type movie having to do with a cray girl who could see a guy following her but no one else could. We made this story up as we went along and it turned out pretty good.

Documentary movie idea

This is a short project I’m working on with two other students in my class. We’re creating a very short 2 minute documentary on peoples fears/dislikes. In the above images we managed to come up a few ideas, props, locations, storylines, themes and a made a storyboard. 

We plan to ask four different people four different types of questions all along the same lines. It’ll be a spoof documentary meaning it’ll be scripted and we’ll tell them what to say and act. After they answer each question, they’ll have to be confronted with their fear or dislike and react to that.

We’ve found some people willing to participate as actors and decided on locations for filming. Filming will begin shortly.

‘Logan’ film review.

When I went to watch Logan I was excited because I love X-men and assumed it’d be along those lines. I was introduced to new characters such as X-23, Gabriela and Pierce. It started with action but presented Logan in a different light, that he’d gotten older and consequently weaker. He couldn’t heal as fast like he use to and was quiet isolated but still looked after professor X. He was in a state of chronic pain and would drink to numb it. The film as a whole was very upsetting but surprised me greatly as it was revealed that Logan had a daughter which he didn’t want to accept, but I loved the brutality of her character. The way she’d fight and kill her ops with no mercy reminded me of Logan’s character but even more ruthless than him since she hardly spoke. Their relationship began cold. They didn’t want anything to do with each other but throughout the film, through their battles they became closer and in the end she even acknowledged Logan as her father. I believe the directors did a good job with the storyline because I didn’t know what’d happen next however they did a few things I didn’t agree with. First, Professor X being killed by Logan’s clone was a bad move and second Logan DYING at the end was a complete shock and cut me deeply. I don’t think they should’ve killed him off because how are they now going to make another movie with him in it? They can’t and thats the problem.

Dan Jolin from Empire wrote this review which I agree with to an extent, that it may be the best one but it’s definitely a shame to end it there.

‘The best Wolverine movie yet: grown-up, ballsy, character-driven and grounded. It feels right that it should be the last one, but it also feels a bit of a shame.’ - Dan Jolin

Stop motion animation final piece

 This is the outcome of my very short stop motion animation I created. It was simple to shoot and swift to create. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to use a stop motion software to make this and had to use a gif creator instead, nevertheless, it still worked.

Stop Motion Animation Storyboard (Reflection)

It has the sequence of events and movements my inanimate object will do to create a stop motion animation. Planning all of this out instead of jumping straight into it helped tremendously with my outcome. I was able to foresee any complications that could have arose during the process. Drawing out a step by step of the movements was beneficial as when I then went to take the photos, it was a fast and swift process as I knew exactly what I planned to happen. My experience of the stop motion animation was fairly simple because I made something short, but I know if I wanted to make a movie on a grand scale such as Coraline, then it would take much longer and require a lot more planning. On this storyboard I only made notes about the lighting, angles and movements.

My Experience of using the DSLR camera

Operating this camera was fairly easy. I ensured the the tripod was securely positioned and the sound was muted. Looking through the viewfinder eyepiece I was able to position my inanimate object roughly in the centre to achieve the correct shot I wanted. Turning the main command dial would have zoomed the focus lens in and out to obtain a good distance. There was a photoshoot light to the right side of the table so I didn’t need to press the flash exposure compensation button to turn on the flash. After pressing the shutter release button, since the camera was focusing easily on my scarab multi-tool, it took the photo straight away with no complications and I came out with a great set of quality photos.

DSLR vs SLR Camera comparison. SLR cameras allow expert photographers to change lenses and choose the right lens for the given shooting situation. DSLR refers to SLR cameras that take digital photos and the few cameras left on the market still using film are simply called SLR cameras....

I believe using the DSLR camera to create my stop motion animation is a great choice as a lot of photos can be taken and it saves digitally on the storage of the camera and can be sent directly online rather than a SLR camera as the photos are saved on film and would have to be converted

Storyboard

A storyboard is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television production.

They’re used to help ensure that everyone understands the goals of the project and how the video and audio footage should work together.

This would benefit my animation because I’d be able to structure and plan my story in detail with visual refereces

Swedish animator and sculptor Alexander Unger, aka Guldies, recently unveiled his latest stop-motion animated short video entitled GOING FISHING, in which he carefully sets up camp and goes fishing, all atop the desk in his bedroom. This wonderfully creative 3.5 minute video is comprised of 2500 photos played at 18 FPS.

“After months of hard work GOING FISHING is finally here. I have never worked so hard. The animation is filled to the brim with new stuff I’ve never tried before. I animated with branches and leaves, paper, clay, fabric, fishing lures, forks and stones and moss and EVERYTHING I could think of.”

Follow Alexander Unger/Guldies on Instagram and YouTube for more animations, tutorial videos, and other delightful art projects.
