Feedback on project one

The critique about my project went a lot better than I thought it was going to go. I guess after watching the video over and over all you can see is whats wrong with it and what you make better with it but you can't do that because you do not have time to do it. The things people wanted me to fix were things I feel like I as well knew needed fixing. The one thing I did really think about was having the black and white part in a different color tone or something. Which I think its a great idea to go back and try it different ways. So I can pick the best one for the video. I know I need to work on lighting which is something you could tell in the project. But with time a practice I will get better.

Project 2 ideas

For this project I want to work with noises or sounds that make you tried. I want it to make you really sleepy and calm. were you want to fall or do fall a sleep in listening to it over and over. I made a recording of me yawning and water dropping in a sink. I know when I hear people yawning it makes me yawn and then I become tried. What also makes me sleepy is water dropping or rain. I wanted to get rain record but that didn't happen.

I know the running water did really work out as I hoped I need to keep working with it.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE SOMETIMES

i found the noise to be the singing in the back ground because for one i cannot really hear it and it come and goes. what i found to be the guitar playing that static sounds to be the more pleasing to the ear because i can hear it more clearly.
sounds- Guitar electric, key board, singing
I believe this piece's to be music because it has an outline to it,  theme and story line.

Day Dream

The film "Day Dream" is meant to remind us of our childhood and the day dreams we used to have when we were children. Children often bring cartoons and other characters from their lives into their fantasy. It is difficult to hold on to the memories of childhood. As a child I had a pretty big imagination: I used to dream that I was a superhero solving crimes. Children tend to have pretty positive experiences in their daydreams. As we grow older we become more negative on the world, we see things for how they really are in reality. This film starts fairly positively, but at the end a quick turn of events happens and it becomes more negative. The main figure wakes up freaked out because the real world has invaded their childhood fantasy and nothing is sugarcoated any more.

I use Legos because they depict that representation of childhood. Holding on to the innocent and positivity of childhood is hard: trying to remember how you could have been so happy when you were little and there was so much negative going on in the world. A child sees only the little happy things in life: like hanging out with Batman in their head, or going to get ice cream. We need to learn that things may not be sugar coated for us anymore but that does not mean we cannot sprinkle some sugar for ourselves and the people around us.

Feedback

• 
  
• I believed the feedback was great even though it was short. They helped me think out side of the normal thing Scooby Doo would do.  And to pick how I will start my film. I do believe I will go in a different direction with Scooby Doo normally will be seen doing.

Project One

Ideas 

When it comes to shorts films I think of something funny but it does not need to be happy

So I brain storm things I liked and found funny and what I had a lot of to use in my film.

Funny: cartoons, things scaring people, people falling down or doing stupid things

Like: Giraffes, dogs, cats, sunflowers, nature, cartoons

Tools: Clay, toys: Legos, Stuff animals

First Story board
Two good friends (dog and cat) having picnic by a tree. while enjoying themselves monster come out and scare them. they chased and rescued by a spaceship.
Tools : Legos

Second Story board
 Dog is walking down the street having great time. cat is following be hide to scare dog, scares dog. dog chasing cat up tree. person comes up and dog looks at person then looks at cat and person thinking cat is stuck up in the tree climbs up grabs cat. takes the cat down puts next to dog. close up happy dog and then flashes to scared cat.
Tools: Legos

Proposal
In this stop motion film I want to do something that is child like. As a child you find a lot of this funny. A lot of my childhood I watched Scooby Doo which would explain why I have Scooby Doo legos still. In this stop action film I want the viewer to see a little of how I would of had Scooby Doo go. Putting the cat in the film I add my own personally thing to the film. When using this medium of Legos it does bring back a lot of my childhood. I believe it works well when bring the child to life in the film.

Rehearsal for Extinct Anatomies Short Film

My feelings about this Short Film Rehearsal for Extinct Anatomies was more less kind of creepy. Maybe because I wasn’t in the mood to watch a film that was dark, depressing and odd. Every time the doll pressed the thing on his forehead it made me a little queasy. What I did enjoy was the part where one of the creatures had a pen and was dancing along with the strings. I also like the fact it was in black and white because in color it just seems like it would give and different mood. I personally I have no clue what is going on in this film. I can say that the bump on the dolls forehead seems to be the start of it and the end.

reflective blog post

I think I would have done my project maybe on bigger paper with thicker markers. I also would track down more information on how I felt during certain times so I could draw the lines differently. I also believe this art piece should continue of a period of days. I really enjoyed Katharine Chu time piece the more you look at it the more you see. I think she did a great job at showing her day with layering all the drawings that she did. I feel like it shows a lot different kinds of moods that she could have been feeling that day. I believe art work should be awarding for both the viewer and artist. When she said that it was awarding to see her art work all together was pleasing.
