Film language

Notes on today’s lesson;
In today’s lesson we looked at the animated short ‘world of motion’;
We where able to identify wipes/pans, decor style, the camera translation  from moving to solid.
This stylised piece uses shapes to distract us from cuts and edits, changes of scenery, motion etc.

The use of vertical lines create a smaller, trapped look on the subject.

Extreme close ups should only be used for intense moments.

The standard abc film set up;
Wide shot
     🔻
Mid shot
      🔻
Close up

Rule of thirds;
Look space/ motion space 
When characters are different sizes, you have to get creative to make characters have same eye level.

The rest of the lesson was spent watching overs film clips.


What I learnt from this lesson;
- the importance of eye level
The use of space/ rule of thirds
The way lines can be used to distract the viewer from change, yo create fluid movement

'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.
