I have now finished the task. Throughout there were things I knew how to do well and others I did not, but with the help of google, youtube, and exchange student Georgia I was able to overcome these difficulties. I also learnt that too much footage is better than enough even if you think it is just the right amount.




Group

This unit I began in a group. However, the group situation was not working well. To fix this I left the group to produce my own music video. It was harder as I was doing it on my own but it only had to be 30 sec long and I did it on iStop Motion which really helped.

Week 4

This week my group and I have been planning what do in our music film. We have got many ideas, and have been able to put together a narrative.  This week I have also done the music cutting for the film as well.

Shot list



Treatment

MUSIC VIDEO CLIP TREATMENT
Names of group members
Elain Lin, Jane McCotter, Georgia-Leigh Vele
Song selected
Yellow - Cold Play
Type of clip (Highlight your choice/s)
performance / narrative / collage
Concept for clip
Explain what narrative/images the clip will contain
The concept is to tell a story about the relationship between a son and his sick mother. The video will show the sick mother lying in bed, then go to the boy going through life and milestones which he got to spend with his mother, and how these moments are so special to him.
Message
What message will your clip contain or what is its purpose?
Style
What look and feel will your clip have?
The colour yellow will both symbolise the sickness of his mother as well as all the happiness in their life. It will show the boy growing up and how in each aspect of his life there was always something yellow symbolisingg the love and happiness between him and his mother. But at the end it will have his mothers skin as a sickly yellow rather than the happy yellow and will symbolise that the yellow (happiness) in his life is fading. 
Technical codes
Explain the ideas you have about camera work, transition devices, lighting, special effects, framing and composition
We will be using a lot of fades throughout the film as it is a soft transition between the milestones in his life but then at the end it will also fade into the last scene of his mother about to die as the fade will show how just like everything else in his life things are just going to happen. When the camera is filming in the hospital the angle will be high show the vulnerability of the pair, in contrast to the low angle shots used throughout out the rest of the film showing how they never knew that such a sad thing could happen in their lives. Also in the hospital the lighting will be gloomy, and possibly have a blue, grey tinge to enhance the sadness felt by the audience. Where as in the other, happy, scenes the lighting will be bright and yellowish to show happiness and joy.
Audio codes
What is the song about and how do the lyrics relate to the visuals you have selected? Will you be adding an additional sound?
"Yellow" was written in a Rockfield studio in Wales called the Quadrangle, where Coldplay began working on their debut album, Parachutes. One night after finishing recording "Shiver", the lead single of the album, the band took a break and went out of the studio. Outside, there were few lights on and the stars in the sky were visible and "just amazing", according to the song's co-producer, Ken Nelson. He told the band to look at the stars, which they did. Vocalist Chris Martin was inspired by the sight and the song's main melody, consisting of a chord pattern, popped into his head. At first, Martin did not take it seriously "as he relayed the tune to the rest of the band in his worst Neil Young impersonation voice".

***Martin went on to further explain that the word "yellow" has absolutely no meaning whatsoever and while writing the rest of the song he tried his best to change yellow to something else since every lyric before yellow made no sense but in the end the word "yellow" just sounded right. Martin also told Stern that through the years depending on the attitude and manner of whoever interviews him, he would make up some story about a song or album titles just to move on to the next question. Martin applauded Stern saying "I like you, Howard, so that's the first time I've ever told anyone the truth behind 'Yellow'."***
Coldplay - Yeloow lyrics meaning
http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/36691/  (24/10/14)

The visuals will have both a literal meaning as well as a symbolic. For example the line “I’d drew a line for you” will have the boy doing his homework and ruling his book and his mum helping. While in the literal sense he is drawing a line, it is focussing on the idea that he and his mum are connected and do everything together and for each other. No, there will be no added sounds to the film. 
Pace
What sort of pace does your song have and how will this be reflected and created in your clip?
Written codes
If you are using any written codes, what text will you use? What is its significance?
Symbolic codes
Will there be any symbols in your clip and what will they be? Will you repeat any images or use a motif? How will the symbolism you have used contribute to the message of your clip?
For most of the film the pace will be slow, as it is him reflecting on his life with his mum and also showing that he is in a daze because of shock for the fact that he is going to lose his mum. But towards the end of the song the music goes into an instrumental which the pace becomes much faster. In this scene the boy is having a breakdown and crying and is angry and frustrated with life, which in turn suits the fast pace of this part of the song. 

The colour yellow will be in every scene, exempt the melt down scene, as a motif so symbolise both happiness and sadness. There will be yellow objects in each scene which refer to the ‘yellow’ in the song and the happiness. While the sickly yellow skin of the mother in hospital will show how both she and the happiness in his life is fading. 
Key elements of mise-en-scene to be used
Explain the settings needed and outline key props and costumes needed
Hospital room, with bed and guest seat, blue flowers in a vase.
Playground with high monkey bars, ad room for jane to stand under to catch Elaine.
Dining room table, with a chair for Elain to sit on, and work book, pencil and yellow ruler. 

- Yellow dress
Sun hat
Child looking clothes (blue, cotton shirt, and cotton shorts)
Graduation gown and hat
Boy school uniform (white school shirt and black pants)
Appeal
What things in your clip do you think will appeal to a youth audience?
I think that the fact that it is about the relationship of a boy and his mum will generally appeal to a youth audience. But also because story is about the mum being sick will pull on the audiences heart strings.

Week 2-3

This past week we have been thinking of what song and what type of music video to do. My group has decided on doing a narrative for the Coldplay song Yellow. We had a lot of ideas for how we could portray the story, but what we came up with was really complex. To overcome this problem, and still be able to use our ideas we have cut down the song to about half, but so it still makes sence for our story.

Ideas and sequence plan so far...

Sequence plan -
  • Start in the hospital
  • ‘Look at the stars’ he looks up to the ceiling (8 sec)
  • ‘all yellow’ something goes yellow (20 sec)

  • zoom into the yellow object
  • Helping him study ‘I drew a line for you’ drawing a rule in a book
  • Zooms into the yellow object
  • Begining of the instrumental he is graduating
  • finding out the bad news (word in-between the instrumental)


Yellow

  • paint on animationish things yellow

Finished!!!

I have now finished my film, I am happy with what I am handing in. I did have a few troubles with putting sound in and the voice overs but I easily fixed these problems. I do believe though I do not have all of the footage from Claudia as there are shots that I know we filmed but do not have, but I was able to make my film work well with what I have. When I was finishing off the film Finial Cut Pro was becoming more and more slow so I bought my self a hard drive which made it much easier to work with.

This term in media I have not been very attentive towards my blog. But I am going to fill in all the blanks in this one. 

We began the unit with our ideas and began to film them. We, I believe, got some very good shots, but when we showed the class they found the film a bit confusing, this was partly because we lost a fair amount of footage. Because of this we spoke with Mr Andrews to see what he thought we could to make it flow better, and be less confusing. We decided to re-film some scenes to make them more clear, re-film the lost scenes and also add in some more to give the audience some more information about the film and story. 

When we were to start the new filming Claudia was away at the Ekka. This caused some problems as it meant we were down one team member and made it hard to film as we have two characters leaving only one person to work the camera and lights. We tried to overcome this problem but found it too hard so had Mr Andrews come to one of our filming sessions and help with the lighting.

Saturday, August 9, 2014

We have now completed the rough of our film noir film. It has turned out ok, but there are many flaws which we will need to fix for the good copy. We also lost quite a bit of our film, as it did not load off the SD card properly so we will need to re-film the missing scenes.

Film Noir

Examples of Film Noir
1. Double Indemnity (1944)
2. The Maltese Falcon (1941)
3. The Bog Heat (1953)

Visual characteristics 
1. Long, irregular vertical shadows cast upon the walls.
2. Low kew lighting on the main actors, usually pitting some of their face in shadow. 
3. Elaborate "vanishing points" (points where characters enter or exit a scene) 

Narrative characteristics
1. For sound, voice over assist on providing background information for better understanding of film noir's complex plot.
2. The central themes of the narratives are about sense of entrapment, as murders, betrayal, and psychological entrapment and complex plot with lots of twists and turns, and flashbacks versus present. 

3. One of the most important elements of film noir is the 'femme fatale,' a dangerous woman who knows what she want and just how to get it. There is a special appeal for their characters ans thet are indispensable to great film noir.

Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha is a film directed by Golden Globe nominee, and Emmy winner, Rob Marshall. The main genre of the film is Historical, but also has the sub-genres of drama and bibliographical film. The use of cinematography, 
mise-en-scene, 
sound and editing have been greatly utilised to enhance the audience’s interest in the scene, as week as building upon ideas that the film is portraying. 

The cinematography enables the audience 

The director has chosen to use lighting and sound throughout the selected scene from Memoirs of a Geisha, to set and enhance the mood of the scene as well as to draw the audience’s attention to particular things. Lighting has been throughout the entire scene to keep the calm and elegant mood. Majority of the lighting that has been used is low lit, which as stated before enhances the selected mood. Also as the film is historical, and in the time it was set, bright, fluorescent lights were not used, the lighting which has been used is made to look natural. This includes when a spotlight is being used to draw the audiences attention to the character speaking. An example of this is at 00:22. In this shot the light from the window is being used to draw attention, whilst continuing with the natural lighting. The uses of lighting to draw the attention and maintain a mood is shown at 03:52 where there is lighting on the lips of Sayuri, which contrasts to the low lit background. Having the lighting set on her lips as she is painting them shows the elegance being portrayed. Along with the lighting Marshall has chosen to use, he has used camera angles and shots to work side by side with the lighting, this he has done to a hight standard. He has used mostly close up shots, an example of this is when she is tying her obi. The camera is drawn close to her hands to show the beauty and elegance of what she is doing. Close up shots have been used numerous times throughout the scene, but also long shots. The long shot have mostly been used when Sayuri is training. This shows how, at the beginning of the scene, she is not very good and shows the reaction of her body when she does not do something right, but by the end of the film it is showing the progress that she has made. The camera angles have also been used to show a meaning, and portray a message of the scene. This can be seen at 07:37, when Sayuri is about to do her first performance. She is all dressed up and looking at herself in the mirror, at this pout the camera is facing up towards her, a low angle shot. This shows that “[she] is not a servant girl anymore” (00:05), and has grown to be a better person. Not only has Marshall used lighting and camera shots well, but also the use of sound. Throughout the scene the director has opted to use calming, traditional music, which also follows the historical genre, and also helps keep the mood calm and elegant. Although the type of music does not change, the volume and tempo change when the shot is of Sayuri in her training. Marshall has used both lighting, camera angle and sound in this film to effectively set moods, and draw attention. 

Rob Marshal has also used miss-en-scene to a high standard, through the way he has superbly chosen what costume are worn, and where and what is being shown in the scene. The costume which have been used throughout the scene is predominately traditional, older Japanese clothing, like Kimonos. The use of the traditional clothing helps reenforce the historical genre, also helps the image and idea of elegance. Marshal, quite smartly, has chosen to have close ups of the material, to show the authenticity of it. Although the traditional clothing is the most common, when Sayuri is at her first job, the men there are wearing more westernised clothing, like suits and bow ties. Marshal has done this to show the audience that these men are rich, superior, and travel. Like the costumes the scene is set in a traditional Japanese house, and town. The house once again shows the elegance of the film, the walls are made of paper with detailed patterns printed on them. The parts of the scene which are set in the house are calm and peaceful, the way Geisha must act. This is contrasting to the outside, in main town where the tempo quickens and there is a lot more happening in the scene. But everything in the film supports the genre of it being historical, examples of this are the paper lanterns, and the hand painted crookery, and the bamboo structured buildings. The director has chosen some very wise things to include in this scene, which support the genre of the film, and draw the attention of the audience to certain details which enhance the story.  


Rob Marshall is an award winning director, which becomes evident when you watch his historical, bibliographical, and drama packed film, Memoirs of a Geisha. He has used many elements to create this acknowledgment in the audience, which include cinematography, miss-en-scene, sound and editing. All of which enhance his film.

General Cinematography Evaluation
What types of shots are used to convey the intended message in this scene?


Wide shots have been used to show the whole room, and show the audience that is messy and something has happened in it. 
Close up shots of the mens faces have been used to draw attention to them while they are talking, and to show the limited amour of emotion they are using, there are very secretive.
A close up shot has also been used of the gun, facing down the barrel, with Bond’s face in the background, this draws the attention to the fact that there is a gun, and someone is probably going to be shot. 
How does the use of framing convey information to the audience; by hiding or showing specific elements and information.
In some shots the camera shows the whole room, to show what has happened previously, but also cuts this out to bring the audience’s focus to the speaking character so they do not get distracted. Also the lighting has been used to hide things, to keep the audiences attention on the two characters. 
Describe how the camera position affects each shot?



The camera positions affects each shot as it creates a meaning, for example there are shots in the perspective of one of the characters of the other, to show the audience what they can see, and give them us an idea of what they are feeling. 
What type of camera movement takes place and how does it enhance the shot?


The camera goes from one shot to another quite fast, showing that a lot of suff has taken place in this room. Also panning has not been used, this is to make the audience see more like the characters, because they are not moving so the camera isn't moving either. 
Does the cinematographer make specific use of under or over exposure to convey a message?

The cinematographer has used high exposure in the scene, this brings attention to the faces, which unlike the rest of the room are lit. 

Focal point
(does it shift or remain constant)

1. The focal point shifts between the two mens faces, depending on which one is talking.
Shot type



1. The shot is a close up, and shows the ‘poker faces’ on the men, and shows that they are not going to give any 
Framing/perspective




1. Close up, perspective of the other talking
Camera position/movement



1. The camera is directly in front of the speaker, and a little to the side. It is also slightly below them, making them seem more important/superior. 

Briefly Describe the Setting/Location and the type of activity/ies would usually take place in this setting?

Dark, low lit, unoccupied, messy.
The location looks like during the day it would be an ordinary working place, but with the low dim lighting and al of the objects scattered around the floor, it shows that something bad would happen, a fight would break out.
What props have been included in the setting to convey an intended message or describe the activity/ies taking place?
A lamp that is directed on the side of Bond’s face, show that he is mysterious.
A gun, this shows that someone is going to die.
A black car, this shows that the man does not want to be noticed.
What does the contrast (light levels, difference between dark or bright areas) indicate about this setting?

The scene in whole is very darkly lit, but there is light on one side of the two mens faces. This makes them look mysterious and creates tension. This contrast of the light draws attention to the men and away from the rest of the room. Also there are bright lights (coming from windows of other buildings) that show that around the building the men are in is the city and an ordinary place but right there and then is completely different. 
What type of tones or colours are used within the setting; pleasant, simple, cheery, bleak. (Also consider the lighting).
Dark tones have been used, greys and black, the scene is only in black and white. These dark tones create tension and show the audience that it is not a happy cheery place but a scary one, and that something bad is about to happen. 
Describe the spaciousness of this setting (Cramped or open/roomy).

The room in the scene is quite large, but it is very cramped. The room is massy with objects scattered on the floor, this makes it look lil someone has been in the room and been looking for something, or that a fight has taken place. 

Describe the physical state (messy, neat, formal).



The room is very messy as said above, and that it seems as though someone has been throwing everything around whilst looking for something. 
What is the general atmosphere of this setting (what moods or feelings does it invoke)?

The atmosphere of the film is tense, and mysterious. It makes the audience wonder what has happened, and whit is going to happen, an unknowingness. 
Describe the acting style of the main character within this scene?

The main character is very smooth, and doesn't seem to be affected by the dark room, and the messiness. He seems very calm and not like the other character in the scene. 




How does this setting contribute to the acting style and character/s personality?

This creates a contrast between the setting and the main character. But he still has the same mysteriousness as the room, even though he seems to be very calm.
