Warm Up 032714 { F i l m S t u d i e s }

After filling out the character chart I learned that my character (Goblin Princess) knows how to work her way around to help everyone and herself. Instead of dwelling on the bitter feelings of things she knows how to turn the other cheek like other princess's do. Even though she may be a goblin she is still a princess with her own kingdom.

What I Learned 032114

I learned that there is a lot to do when you want a certain object to be more focused. You have to think about the background not being too close up and use natural lighting when possible. You also have to make sure of how much shadow you want by adding reflection from a tin foil and adding back light if you want to. It can make the shadow smaller and can highlight a part of a person's body that you want to stand out.

The character had to go find her sister and bring her back. Because she thought that bringing Elsa back would save their kingdom. Instead she was struck by Elsa's powers and was badly hurt, then she was left to die after finding out the true intentions behind her "True love".

I will help out with setting up when we film and if I have what we need for props I will bring them.

I think something that would be really beneficial is for us to discuss is about the settings and the props for the story. Another thing that we all should talk about is the lighting of the story. As we go on into the story we should talk about the setting, props and lighting so that it will look good in camera. We should also talk about the tone of voice and how loud a character should talk when they're acting. Since we don't know if the camera is going to be able to catch their voices well.

I believe that our character will change for the good. Because there are many things that are being handed to her and she must make decisions. When life gives you lemons, what do you do? Change is one of the most important things for a new beginning. And I feel like change for her is what will push her forward to solve her complicated problems.

- It's important to understand a character before writing because it will be so much easier to build a story around the character. And when knowing the personality of a character it's easier to write out how the character is reacting to the situation. I could improve the writing of a story by giving more details and being descriptive on what the character is doing. Do they have a look of amusement, boredom, or do they always smile? But I need to know what the character's personality is first and how their attitude is towards people in order to know what to write.

Looking back on my previous blogs, I think the biggest and most important scenes are going to be when Serena goes on a quest to save the prince. And when she starts changing and realizing what is important in her life. I feel like these two scenes are important because during that time she could be contemplating a lot on what her role is in the kingdom. But I'm not really sure because honestly we started off with a different story and I feel like it's going to change a lot as we move on with the storyline. So we'll see how it goes in the end u_u;.

I know that lighting has a lot to do with a camera. It can make the person/object radiate or it can make the person look like it's blending into the dark. Lighting can also make a person's skin look clearer than it really is. But when it's kind of dark you can see all of their blemishes. Lighting can show how a person is feeling, because lighting can also affect a person's mood. For example if the sun is shining through the window but the window shades are closed, and there is a person sitting at the edge of the bed. What would you think the person is feeling? They could be feeling sad, or feeling confused. They could be in deep thoughts and are contemplating over things.

What were some challenges that you had with your story?

-Some challenges that I had was trying to be specific and descriptive with my story. And also trying to create a story that surrounded around my character as I wrote it out. It was also difficult to try to not change how the character was and going back to change it.

Warm Up 030414 { F i l m S t u d i e s }

A difficult thing about writing a scene was trying to figure out what was actually happening, and trying to be descriptive about it. Was the character shouting or whispering when they talked. I had to think about the setting of the scene and tried to fit the character's actions according to their surroundings. I predict that trying to create the setting for our movie when we film it will be difficult. -.- Very, difficult. Maybe.
