3 Point Lighting



  For this shot in Rocky, the 3 point lighting creates a sense of loneliness to me because the fill light doesn't look to be very bright, and it looks as if the key light and the back light are brighter. The shot size is a close shot which is allows the person watching the movie to see the emotions on Rocky's face. Behind Rocky, the door and light are also blurry, which allows us to really focus on Rocky himself. With this, they are able to make it feel as if the room is dark, and that he is now lonely and staring off into the distance. 


In this shot, the fill light and the key light are used to show that Rocky is doing something. We see that his eyes are focused on something and that he is in the process of working on or making something as well. The back light isn't very bright because whatever is behind Rocky is dark. This looks to be a medium close up shot, once again, focusing on Rocky's facial expressions. One of the things I like a lot about the lighting in this shot is that there looks to be shadows bouncing off of Rocky's neck. 


In this shot, the lighting is focused on Micky's face. The background is almost pitch black, allowing the audience to just focus on Rocky and Micky's faces. The director uses this lighting effect to create a sense of sadness because we see the light hit Micky's face where he has a look of pain. He directs the light away from Rocky, focusing mainly on Micky allowing the audience to express the same feelings as Rocky.

Tennis Documentary

  Tennis Documentary By Dylan Grodner, Starring Nicole Dgani     Nicole and I are both very good friends and we wanted to work on a film together. Turns out, although we are very good friends, we didn't know each other's favorite hobby. It ended up taking some time to think of what we like to do and what we could make a film on. After thinking about it we chose Nicole's favorite thing to do, tennis. It really didn't take much planning besides coming up with questions because they were all things Nicole could answer on the spot which is why we didn't focus too much on a script. Although there was not much planning, there were some questions asked that even Nicole hadn't thought about. When asked about her  inspiration for tennis, she first answered "I don't know. I don't think I have one". Once she thought about it more though, she came to the conclusion that it is between playing with her friends, her father pushing her to play and try a new sp...

The Stalker

I practiced many different types of film during this assignment, some of them being cutting on action and focusing on the eight different angles. I used these types of film, because I think that they went really well with the type of film that I was doing. I think that the result came out very good because I wanted to make a creepy film, but at the same time a film where you could tell what was going on without any dialogue, which I think I accomplished. I also really liked making this film because I really felt like I was a real movie director and there were some points where I wanted to film even more and make it like a real long movie. I would next time maybe add some dialogue to make it look more like a real movie. As I was saying before, I am happy that I was able to create a film that is understandable without any dialogue, although I think it would have helped. This is the YouTube video: This is my story board: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S6KtWO_09Rgp6HaOUM_5uFZ2f7TF...

TV Shows I Have Watched Over Quarantine

Image
       Over quarantine I watched many shows and movies, but two of my favorite TV shows were The Office and All American. These are both shows that once you get into them, they are really hard to stop watching. There were even some nights that I would stay up till 2 in the morning watching these shows.       I really liked The Office because of the comedy. There was not one episode that I could not laugh, matter of fact, I could not even go five minutes without laughing! That's how funny this show is! I learned about this show through many people, I just did not both to watch until quarantine when we had nothing else to do. I found it very interesting how the setting takes place in an office because they could have made any type of plot but they chose to go a simple route, and make the setting and plot revolve around an office. The message that they are sending is just showing what happens in an ordinary office day. The visuals are pretty good bec...
