Information I got from this webpage; 'Lewis Carroll' was a pen name, for the author Charles Dodgson. His life span was between the years 1832 to 1898. Not only was he a lecture in mathematics, he had a side passion for politics and the arts; writing poems and doing photography.  His novel 'Alice's adventure in wonderland' was published in 1865. From this small sample of information, I can research into his time period and its connotation of colours and symbolism, to help decode his use and choices to represent characters. Victorians may of had different customs and connotation for colours than we do today.  Article Title Lewis Carroll Biography Author Biography.com Editors Website Name The Biography.com website URL https://www.biography.com/people/lewis-carroll-9239598 Access Date November 9, 2018 Publisher A&E Television Networks Last Updated April 27, 2017 Original Published Date April 2, 2014

I have chosen these two scenes for the shots I will be comparing against each other. Intro to the white queen Intro to the red queen

Today I discussed my essay idea with mhariri; my idea was to do an analysis of the two opposing characters 'The White Queen' and 'The Red Queen' from Alice in Wonder land, 2010- Disney-Us- Tim Burton. We discussed that I should bring context of the original story by Lewis Carol and his time period- what colours and other visuals represented with in his time, his feelings towards characters ect. I also plan to bring in some research into semiotics to deconstruct the introduction scenes and use of the signs. We tried construct an essay question, based on what I planned to write about. 'A analysis of two introductory scenes of two different characters' 'How does the introduction/first entrance scenes of two different characters create different meanings?' 'In the introduction/first entrance scenes of the characters 'The Red Queen' and 'The White Queen' from 'Alice In Wonderland' (Tim Burton-2010-Us-Disney) compare h...

'Lady Ice'- Liron Pe'er - 2010 A student film ' 'This is a personal project that started as my final project for the Animation program at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Israel and after graduating I kept working on it to finish it alone. Working on and off (weekends, holidays, etc) it took me about 5 and a half years to complete' This film not only has ABC structure, but has many stylised shots similar to films. Such as shape/match cut, scene with her model of the man turn into an out shape of the stars. Very impressive for a one person animation. it took her 5 years to make. She began it in 20015, at her 'Bezalele Acdemy of art and design' 'Reversal of the heart- Carolyn Chrisman's Senior thesis 2011 / A student film, made using flash, after effects and photoshop , which took her two years to make. I personally  like this film because I find that despite its very simplistic animation and art style, it really had good use ch...

In todays lesson we focused on transitions, the use of different ways of changing shots. The different types of transitions can be  grouped into: - Cut - Wipe - Fade - Dissolve - Morph A cut is the most used form of transition, there is many different types of cuts such as; 'Shape'/'match cut', where shapes are used to link smoothly two scenes. 'Cut away', where you cut from action to an object. 'Cut on action' where you cut to show anther part of the action, for example the end of a punch or running through the door. 'Cross cut'- two different actions cutting between each other. 'Jump cuts'- Jumping Intime/ jiggered continuity. 'Parallel  cutting' Builds tension on two things coming together. Wipe- The different types of wipes are 'shape wipe' for example hearts, circles, stars. Horizontal v.s vertical. Fade- Fades to black/white or any other colour. Normally used for beginning/ ending sequences. Di...

Film Studies brief Home work: Good v.s Bad shots Bad shots Halloween, 1978 https://youtu.be/2ymKC2Se0Us Hand held camera / Pov shot. I have chosen this clip to highlight the issue, the use of p.o.v shot was unsuccessful here, as the camera (AKA Michels eyes/view) watches the knife as he is stabbing. which is very unrealistic, as you can not act out such as action and not miss when looking away from the object you are stabbing.. Although the use of hand held works well as a point of view shot, they clearly made some errors.
