Shot Choice Justification
In the shot where Emerson is standing up and it is revealed that the friend is gone we used a wide shot to symbolize the loneliness Emerson feels in that moment.
This helped the scene feel more impactful.
Lighting Design
Evidence of How Lighting Design Created Mood: Somber Mood
Evidence of How Lighting Design Created Atmosphere: Sad and depressing atmosphere.
Evidence of How Lighting Design Created genre: Evidence of drama genre through how there was conflict.
Consultation with Editor
Me and Tyler worked to make sure all of the shots were included in the film and that nothing was missing.
Alternative Shots
Evidence of Alternative Shots:
Why you chose the shot you used in the film: We chose this shot as doing a circular 180 as we had originally proposed didn’t fit our film and our timeline.
Camera Work and Lighting Evaluation
Evaluate the artistic level: On an artistic level, I think our film excelled due to its close-to-home themes and dark lighting.
Evaluate the technical level: On a technical level, I believe our film lacked due to the changing in our decisions often and time constraints.
Influences from Films
Name Cinematographer:Linus Sandgren
Name some films they worked on: La La Land
They influenced the work throughout the film by using Emerson’s yellow shirt. Its bright yellow resembles La La Lands outfits that represent fakeness/fake happiness. This contrasts with the friend’s more laid-back outfit being a more true route to happiness, unlike the yellow shirt’s symbolism of fake happiness.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned more about how to convey a story from your mind to a real film and how to improve on this in a future film. One problem we solved was we needed an extra person to turn on a light and to do that we got Gavin.
