Independent Blog Post 2/27

For my next film, instead of only doing a western I have thought of an idea that would be simpler and a little more unique. I thought I should do a film about how I am having trouble with coming up with stories for my film ideas. I can see particular scenes in my head that seem cool, but I have no idea of how to make an entire story surrounding it. I don't know how to get to that certain point. The scene I think of maybe in the middle or the beginning, I don't know. So, the film would be me and my thoughts coming up with these one-off scenes and it would cut to these scenes that would have no context for them. It's kind of a way for me to try different things all at once. Also, it seems like it could be funny. Then this reminded me of a show I use to watch where they did something similar. In the show Community, they make fun of these things called "clip episodes." The episode would primarily consist of repurposed material from previous episodes, with a little amo...

Modern Western- Independent Blog Post 2/21

An idea I have for my next film is to do some type of spin on the modern western genre. I want to make it seem very serious, but the actual story itself is just something silly. Kind of like my Wii Sports Basketball film. I made it seem like I was very committed to playing a kid's game. I want to do that but with the western genre.

The film's location, as well as the concerns and concepts it tries to explore, will be contemporary. Modern Westerns exist not just to be in dialogue with their traditional forefathers, but also to be in conversation with them. Modern Westerns will attempt to contrast with classic Westerns, highlighting the changes that have occurred since the genre's heyday (1940s-60s) and the era it ...

Blog investigation 2/6

For my Game Show film, I want to make it look like it was filmed on tape or a VHS effect. I always wanted to make something that would go good with the effect of old camera footage with it. For this investigation, I look into different tutorials and ways to make my clips look like they were recorded on a VHS tape. In order to achieve a VHS look in Premiere Pro, you need to combine many effects. You may easily fine-tune and personalize these effects to achieve the desired retro style. Lumetri Color is the first effect we'll utilize. We can use Lumetri Color to make some basic adjustments to the Contrast and White values. Then, using the Faded Film, Curves, and Vignette options, we can make a range of creative alterations. Lumetri Color is fantastic since it allows us to achieve the desired color tone with only one effect. The Channel Blur effect will be required next. The footage has a distinctive VHS look thanks to Channel Blur. It functions similarly to a Gaussian Blur but allows ...
