A Dive into Fake Talk Shows- Blog Investigation 11/21

Image
For my second film, I am planning to make a comedy film that is about a talk show host and his insanity spiraling downwards as his son ruins his show. I always wanted to make fake public access like a talk show that is just all over the place and has no structure. I have gotten this inspiration to make something like this from watching shows like The Eric Andre Show and Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule.  For Example, Eric Andre, instead of acting like a normal talks show host the first thing he does every episode is destroy his own set.  Fundamentally,  The Eric Andre Show  manifests as a parody of the talk show format, with Andre employing the formulaic techniques of talk show hosts to spearhead a self-reflexive critique of the banality of the genre itself. Though my film has a background story, for the most part, The Eric Andre Show is a surreal comedy and is just all over the place.  Since the Eric Andre Show has been made, many other "anti-talk s...

How special effects changed the movies- Blog Investigation and Work Log -11/14

*Didn't exactly what to investigate that would connect to my film, so I just did special effects because I always thought it was interesting what's going on behind the scenes   To produce films of the level we now expect, special effects firms must employ every trick in the book, from traditional green-screen technology to the development of whole artificial intelligence systems. It's no surprise that names like Industrial Light and Magic are as influential in Hollywood as those of any producer or director.  Visual effects enable filmmakers to build breathtaking imaginative worlds and do actions that would be impossible to capture in real life—but visual effects aren't limited to blockbuster feature films. In order to express their stories more effectively, filmmakers use subtle visual effects in more grounded films. VFX-  Visual effects (VFX) in filmmaking are the fabrication or manipulation of any on-screen imagery that does not physically exist in real life. Filmm...

Why is Sound Quality important in film Blog Investigation and Work Log 11/7

Image
Human voices, music, and sound effects are used in the production of films. These three types of noises are essential for a film's viewers to feel authentic. Sounds and dialogue in a film must be in perfect time with the action and must sound exactly as it appears. If a sound doesn't match the motion on the screen, the action isn't nearly as convincing. Using individual sound clips rather than sound libraries for sound effects is one technique to generate genuine, high-quality sounds. For example, at the beginning of my film, I'm making it as if it's a horror film, sound design and foley might help to increase the suspense. In other horror films, it's better to instead of simply showing zombies or vampires, a terrifying sound or tense music cue can elicit the same reaction in the viewer. Suspense created with sound rather than pictures often feels more authentic to the audience because they interact with the sound subconsciously. The first method sound design ma...
