Possible Pitch Idea #3

Basically my idea for my pitch is about a shoes that goes through a series

of different enviroments. The shoe in turn doesn't like the change and

goes through a series of ploys to get revenge on its buyer. In the end it

back fire and the shoe realizes that it wasn't really worth it in.

My reason for choosing this video in particular
is the fact that the shoes take on their own personalty based on the design of the shoe. So my
case, I want to do the same thing but without the stop-motion.

Superstar Review

I found it interesting how well the dialogue and the dolls interact with each other.Several times throughout the film, I kept waiting to see if the lips of the dolls would move. So in a sense what was accomplished was a idea of an illusion. I think that was director was going for because of the use of dolls instead of actual actors. The viewer felts as if they were transported into a different child like world. I thought it worked pretty well pertaining to the subject matter.

Artist Lecture #!1: Art DiFuria

Surprisingly, I found Art Difuria's lecture to be interesting. His way of lecturing did remind me a lot of Duran's style but a lot more humor in nature. I found it to be interesting how Vanhanskurt interweave a little of his perspective into his pieces. What I mean by this is that in each of his drawing he adds a difference perspective to Rome. In one drawing he takes a view of a building and changes it into a ruin which in a covered with vines,etc. In turn I wonder why exactly did he do this? Is it his own commentary on the view of Rome? In a sense he creates some form of an illusion, especially on the beginning pieces that was referred back to. Overall, I thought the lecture was interesting;.

Maya Deren: Meshes of the Afternoon

While I was viewing this films, I had to look at a little more

closely at the small clues that are presented through out

the film. My basic interpretation was that of the idea of the

mind and the unconscious. I guess you can say the Deren

was trying to accomplish a dream like idea for this film. What

prompted this idea was the scene with herself at a table, split

into threes. What immediately came to mind was the idea of the

three subconscious: ID,Ego, and Superego. I know that may

be stretching it a bit, but it has a similar idea. All of the three

versions of her selves were looking at the key which then turns into a knife.

So is it possible that the key was a way of symbolizing a entry into

her mind?

The structure of the film was interesting in a way because

the was no dialogue. So in a way it was a mystery without dialogue.

The audience has to follow her clues in order to figure out

what is going on. The most interesting portion of the film was the

cinematography. The camera moved with the actress while also

expressing the appropriate emotion. An example would be the

the scene where Maya is climbing up the stairs, while hitting the

wall. The camera moves with her in the scene so it gives an

uneasy feeling. Also what I felt throughout the films was a

feeling of claustrophobia, because we (audience) never get

a chance to see the entire space. We are also packed into

a small space.

Rehearsal Notes

Rehearsals: Rehearsal of the talent went very well. I was surprised it how well the actors fell into the roles. There weren't any difficulties in conjunction with the script. I know when it

comes the actual acting, it will go over well.

Shots/Locations:What i taught was a harder issue to tackle was the issue of imagining the space.

Although the talent generally was a success, the technicalities of how we are going

to place everything became an issue. We didn't know whether or not what angle we

be best to accommodate the space. An example would be the office scenes. Even though it's in the DA media, the angles of the tables would pose an issue once we start shooting. Also I was wonding about the color of the room and how it's going to affect the lighting. Even though the lighting of the room can be controlled the wall are very white. So in a sense that white might have an effect on how we light the individual actors. Generally, it more a on set issues that we as a group have to overcome.
