Blog Post #38: Scene Draft

For my opening sequence I want to start it with a shot of a package arriving at the front door. There will be a overhead clip of hands opening the package, showing clothes. The prop for the box will be a normal box used for packages, and I will write something on it to represent to the audience that it is fast fashion. It will suggest to the audience it was in impulse buy online. While this scene is happening the opening  sequence will start with simple font. I will recreate this scene a few times, with a shot of the person scrolling on their phone. The repetition will represent my theme of the episode about social media influencing fashion in a negative way. After this, the title will appear.

Timeline:

  • Package arrives on the doorstep. Steady shot of in front of the door, from a high angle above. The package will come into the frame.
  • The scene switches to the camera being at the same angle, but it is on a table being opened. The only part of the person in frame is the hands.
  • The box opens to reveal clothes. For this scene my prop will be a bunch of random clothes inside the box.
  • Cut to a clip of a phone scrolling on social media in the dark. I want the light of the screen to be bright.
  • Each scene that shows the person opening the box will be different clothes to represent overconsumption
  • All of these scenes will play with music in the background as part of the opening sequence
  • The opening sequence will end with the title appearing
  • The title scene will transition with a soundbridge (V.O. of Frankie's interview) and a fade

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. Designer brands : top brands and designers are known for starting fashion trends and influencing pop culture. I can do an episode about how these iconic brands started trends. 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...
