Moodboard

Hello! Today in class, we were asked to make 4 mood boards based on our choice of location, Afterwards, we then got to explain the reasoning behind the choices we make on each of the mood boards, including elements such as location, props, setting, props and so on. For my 4 mood boards, I decided to go with a picnic date, a funeral (cemetery), a wedding, and an arcade. 

1. For my 1st mood board, I went with a picnic date as my setting. In this mood board, I decided to include images such as a couple wearing casual clothes, grassy fields, a picnic basket and food. Picnics are usually outside on the grass, so I added images that have a lot of natural lighting along with grass fields; green symbolizing a connection to nature. Food is definitely essential when it comes to a picnic, so I put an assortment of food. I wanted to audience to view the characters in the mood board as loving, affectionate, and romantic since its a date; feeling a wave of warmth and joy of the atmosphere.

Sound Art Project

 Today in class, we are asked to do a sound art project, where we would make our own narrative and make a scene of our own by just using sound. During the process, we were also asked to make foley sounds to add to our project. I will be doing with one of of my classmates, Kamryn. The scene what we wanted to interpret through sound is going fishing in the middle of the night.

Case Study

Hello! Today in class, we were assigned to look for a 2 minute opener of a movie based on our choice. We were then asked to identify any camera movements, shots, angles, and focuses that we see throughout the scene. For my opener, I've decided to pick one of my favorite movies to watch, "The Help."
