Light Motivated Film (Man At The Door)


When I was first thinking of what to make this film about, I really didn't have any ideas. After thinking some more, I realized that I could make a horror film using scary lighting. Overall, I think the film came out really good and the lighting that I used helped create more of a scary image. 



1. The first scene of the movie starts off with the boy playing video games. We see the fill light from the TV reflect off of the boys face and the rest of the room. What's cool about this scene is that the TV is changing colors, so we see different light contrasts here. The fill light is also focused on one half of the room, as we can see that the other side of the room is darker. There is also a key light used here pointing directly at the boys face, lightening it up compared to the rest of the room.


2. In this scene, we see a hard fill light pointed up at the boys face. This shot creates the illusion of mystery because he is wearing a top hat, covering his eyes. All we see is a bright light pointing up at the boys face. We also see that there are shadows of the hat on the boys neck and shirt, which is also another interesting piece about this shot. The fill light is used here to point at the boy's facial features, but we see that it is only pointed at a particular area on his face and not his entire body. 

3. Here, we see a fill light pointed at the back of the man's neck. This is interesting because as the man walks, the light sometimes gets lighter or darker depending on where he is standing. 


4. This is another interesting shot because we see the key light from the doorbell reflect off of the side of the boys face. This light is also reflecting off of the top of the boys hat. This is interesting because the rest of the boy's body is dark, except for where this light is reflecting.

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.

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...
