Researching The Shining

 

Hello, my loyal listeners! I am back and analyzing a terrifying movie!



  1. Elements I am going to incorporate:

  2. Slow zooms and dissolves: The slow zooms and dissolves create a dreamlike quality in certain scenes, contributing to the film's surreal and psychological aspects. It makes viewers immediately captured and I want to recreate this in my own creation.

  3. Low-angle shots: Low-angle shots are employed to create a sense of dominance and power I'd want this for the hunter.

  4. Wide shots: Capture the vast and imposing setting. This gives the bigger picture and is more daunting.

  5. Elements I Liked:

  6. Symbolism and Ambiguity: "The Shining" incorporates symbolic elements and leaves certain narrative aspects open to interpretation. This can enhance the viewer's engagement and provoke deeper thought.

  7. Visual Storytelling: The film's visual and cinematographic choices contribute to the overall tension and atmosphere, making it an effective thriller.

  8. Elements I didn't like

  9. Tracking shots: I wish they were as steady and were faster pace I need a faster pace because of time to make the audience uncomfortable.

  10. Longer takes: This is to build tension slowly but I want to use more speed in my creation but this could change from watching later movies.

  11. Overhead shots: Overhead shots are used to provide a unique perspective on the characters and their surroundings I'd prefer POVs.

  12. Slow Pacing: Some people might find the pacing slow, especially during moments of extended tension. While this can build suspense, it may not appeal to those who prefer a faster-paced thriller.

  13. Ambiguity and Lack of Clarity: The film's deliberate ambiguity can be divisive. Some may appreciate the open-ended nature of certain elements, while others may prefer a more straightforward resolution.

Hello, my loyal listeners! I am here to explain my title design!  The opening credits for my film will be jagged white with blood dripping at the end of some letters. This is to give an ominous atmosphere to not suggest what will happen. The font title will be "Got Heroin"  and the job titles will be either "Jokerman" or "Impact". Working title: Betrayal It will be a scary font that must be in all caps. Titles will all be in the same set of fonts, with all the titles of positions in the same font, and the names of the position holders in the same font Titles will fade in and out Titles will stay for 2-3.5 seconds The font colors will be either a blood red or a white/gray color. The name of the job will be 3 font sizes smaller than the person holding the job.

Approaching The Spooky Editing Time!

  I know you all didn’t miss me that much. How could you? I was only gone for a little while this time! As you all know, we have filmed most of our music videos, and our next step is to start editing. But before we do that, we need some critiques so during my swim meet I was able to show my music video to some of my teammates. We mostly received positive feedback! Renato and I were extremely happy with this field test. We were told that we could tell who the characters were and that our group filling in roles was not really a problem. We were told multiple times our acting needs a lot of work but come on what do you expect ? I ain’t no Denzel Washington or Tom Hanks ! Besides that, they said which shots to use out of the multiple takes and they were typically the ones we chose as a group. Our new challenge is to edit. The pr oblem is we are not quite sure which editing software to use. There have been multiple debates about using something besides caput so the produc...
