Blog Post #7: Production Studio and Logo

My production studio focuses on documentaries and independent films. I created the logo on Canva.

I named it Capella Studios because Capella is a star that is part of the Auriga constellation. It is one of the brightest stars in the sky. I chose this name I wanted something that was unique and flowed easily. I also think having a space themed name suggests that there is never ending creativity for the films and documentaries. It also has less of a directed audience because it does not reference one certain country such as America, it is a production studio for everyone.

I chose the color purple because it went along with the space theme and I didn't want a harsh color scheme for the logo, I wanted something simple to put on the postcard, magazine, and other aspects of the final project.




I researched production studio logos and similar logos. They commonly had movie related things in the logo such as film (Ex: New Line Cinema), so that is why I decided to add a film roll to the logo. The picture to the right is an example of "template" type logos I found online.

Blog Post #1: Final Project Idea

For my final project I will be doing a documentary about fashion. Each episode will be based on something that influences fashion. Some ideas I have is pop culture, designer brands, culture, politics, celebrities, and music. I can look at magazines and movies for more references. I want my documentary to have a fun and creative style. Pop culture : there are many articles online about how pop culture and fashion are connected, and I can use these articles for research.

Examples: Vivienne Westwood, Balenciaga Culture : every culture has their traditional clothing, so I have many different topics and ideas to choose from on an episode about culture. Politics : political movements and ideologies have inspired fashion subcultures. Celebrities : similar to pop culture and designer brands, famous people have always inf...

Blog Post #8: Preliminary Exercise

I used my cat as the posed actor for my video clips. Pan: The pan shot I used was to introduce the posed actor. It could be used as suspense to slowly begin to show the subject you are recording. It also allows the audience to see the background/environment that surrounds the actor. I could use this both on people (interviews) or when showing a wider view of a scene in my documentary.   Zoom: The zoom has a similar effect as the close up shot because it is showing my actor's expressions and close up details. It can also be used for the background/environment. It also makes the audience pay attention to a certain aspect you want because it is directing their attention to something. Close Up: A close up shot on actors is used to show their expressions and emotions. Because I used it on my cat, you could clearly see her expressions and the details of her face. This could be a good camera shot to use in a nature documentary to show close up details that you want the audience to notice....

Blog Post #5: Documentary Styles

Documentary M odes Expository documentaries involve extensive research. They include interviews, visuals, and narration that support the argument. Their purpose is to educate and explain. This is the basic and most common documentary mode. Observation documentaries are shot without any narration, commentary, and the viewer is left to interpret it in their own way. It is shot like a "fly on the wall" where the audience views the entire documentary without interruptions. Participatory documentaries have the filmmaker participating in the scenes or interviews while on screen. This includes an equal amount of capturing the interviewer and interviewee. Reflexive mode documentaries use interviews, narration, and visual metaphors to explore the relationship between the filmmaker and audience. A cinematographer will shoot behind-the-scenes style footage of the entire film making process, including editing, interviewing, and post-production. Poetic mode documentaries focus on emotions...
