Blog Post #27: Instagram - Volunteer Poster

This is the poster that I created using Canva.

Color scheme: The colors compliment each other well. Pink and blue represents gender, which could tie into the theme of femininity and traditional norms mentioned in my documentary. Also, blue is seen to represent strength. The title and production studio name is different to draw attention.

Imagery: The template I used had the film picture already located at the bottom. I used it but changed the color scheme to match the rest of the poster. It gives context to the poster without needing to read the text, the reader will automatically know it is about film. Also, the sparkles above the film represent glamour and adds more interesting imagery.

Contact information: I included a made up email for my production studio and stated that the reader can sign up to volunteer through social media. I chose those options because I want to see the audience's engagement in the post.

This will be my first post on my Instagram account. Although, I might have to edit it to make sure it fits the Instagram post ratio.

Blog Post #1: Final Project Idea

Image
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

Image
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...
