By March 1st I will show evidence of working on practicing playing bar chords on my guitar and finding lyrics and vocals for the things I practice on my guitar. How I will do this by documenting everything I do on a daily and using the making of Glass Beach’s first album for session 4.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

Glass Beach – the making of the first Glass Beach album

5:01 -They couldn't use the full drum mic set because they were missing a connector for the mixer so they had they ended up using two mics and they had a condenser mic that is used for vocals.

5:30 -They had a kick and a snare kick so they had to use 3 microphones actually. 

14:46 -Glass Beach's song (Forever?????????) is a reinterpretaion of a song called forever that is performed by The Little Dippers in 1960.

20:12 -Neon Glow was their first single on the album and The lead singer had their brother Kol record and they used a theremin as one of the lead insterments in the song to reference the 1950s svi-fi B movies.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

The Social Network By David Fincher

Cinematographer – Jeff Cronenweth

-Lighting bounces back and forth only showing a particular form of illumination on half of the face to make it more intense and more like the two characters at the bar are upset

-The lighting between Edwardo and Mark shows Edwardo wants clarity and how Mark in the lighting is a lot darker because he doesn't understand the seriousness he is facing  with issues until he is sitting with a group of people for the lawsuit showing all the lighting to be full of light until he looks outside seeing it rain and how the lighting darkens on him

-The twins sat alone when they went to go talk to the president of the school when they could have sat together but they decided to sit alone to show how they both are different and how they both are wearing different ties.

-Mark's body language shows how he doesn't care for this lawsuit and how it's not that important to him because he is sunk in his chair and how he yawns because he really could care less

Training Source(s)

0:17/12:59 -Illuminatedina low-key style which is often called "dark photography" where actors are underexposed to backlighting.

1:04/12:59 -Jeff's background is like the holy grail for film making. 
 
1:15/12:59 -One of jeff's number of clasic films indulde his famous work on Blade Runner. 

1:38/12:59 -Jeff also worked with several famous cameramen such as John toll and Sven Nykvist, where he picked up a lof of lessions and precious experince. 

1:54/12:59 -During Jeff's time he worked with his dad as a 2nd helper for cinephography for Maze runner and his father would let him do some of the on-set grunt work for the lighting in the film, also placing the camera and how he operated them. 

2:52/12:59 -Jeff's cinephorgaphy is a fexliable style and changes on depedning on the suitability of the storyline for the film.

Favorite Director

Favorite Director

Who is one of your favorite directors

Director’s Name: Hayao Miyazaki

Link to their IMDB.com page: Hayao Miyazaki
Directing style: Animation

Notes About What Makes Their Style Unique

0:31/8:44 -It describes in Hayao films that he adds space in scences where it goes silent and how it is the most compelling part of the key moments of them film, Hayao usually has a lot of music within his work and so adding times where its very inense moments of the film where we don't know what is coming up next adds a ton to what we are shown
  
1:25/8:44 -Hayao adds silence to the film not to advance the story but to add time place and a sense of it all. It also allows people to feel how it also feels within the story because thats how life goes, there will always be silence within life this is a given, it allows us to know who they are as a person in the film 

1:48/8:44 -"If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all it's just busyness" This is compeletly right because too much stop of action will create a divid between the viewer and the film but allowing that right amount of breathing room really adds a ton into a film 

2:26/8:44 -Movies shouldn't have a constant rise of tenstion, because it should be able to flow smoothly within a show, movie, or a self made film because it's really important to draw people in but also not to lose them at the same time

2:46/8:44 -Hayao uses a non-tradutional pacing, he own technique which is actually his own, and it would be hard to recreate without seeing it as Hayao's technique. This is why many people love his films and why it's such a pulling intresting into the world of his films 

4:08/8:44 -In Howl's Moving Castle it shows us how beautiful the natural world is in his film but next how distructive things get after that around the world that they're in and how that could happen to different places and countries all over the world  

4:28/8:44 -Hayao uses the charaters he made to create an immersive experince for the audience allowing us to feel seen within the films he has made, especially for Asian Americans or just people of color over all

SUMMARY

Focus / Instrument

Cinematographer

Intention (SMART Goal)

By Jan. 13 as a cinematographer, I will have evidence of Dynamic Camera Movements by Following 4 camera Movements Every Filmmaker Needs to Know for session 3.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

Training Source(s)

4 camera Movements every Filmmaker

1. 4:15 The faster the motion the more abrupt, stylized and impactful it becomes

2. 4:25 Moving into a character close up make it feel like you’re getting inside the character’s head

3. 4:32 The camera is literally drawing you into their world

4. 4:48 The pull-out works in an almost inverse way. Instead of pushing in closer to the mind of the character, we pull away from them and become increasingly detached

5. 5:40 A tracking shot kind of speaks for itself

6. 6:36 Like with panning and tilting, this movement can be motivated, based on the movement of the characters

Started on Dec. 15
