MLK Video

Image
This project was for the MLK Video contest. It was a video representing how love illuminates life. First I came up with a simple story line that could be executed with varieties of shots to present them well. Once I finished filming I chose a song that went well with the story and fit the tone. Editing the video was somewhat hard though, due to the elongated beats from the slow music it required longer shots to fill in the spaces. After editing though I thought it was quite good. Along the way of making this video I just figured out how to use shots in a longer period and still make them interesting. One thing I would do different though is probably make some of my shots a little longer to fully go with the beat. The rest I would keep the same because I felt that it was a pretty good and simple video. Overall, for my next project that I do that is suppose to be emotional I will take more close up and extreme close ups to try and express that emotion. I felt that the MLK video

The Interview

The Interview is a very hysterical movie. From the idea of Kim-Jong Un wanting to be on "Skylark Tonight" to the fact that Dave Skylark and Kim-Jong Un both love to sing along to Katy Perry. It is one of my favorite movies of all time! Despite the brilliance of the movie it was never released on the big screen. Due to threats from Sony Hackers about unleashing 9/11 like terror if it was released in theaters. Honestly I feel this pullback on the release of them from terrorist threats made more people want to view it. This overall made the film reap in 44 million dollars. Some people who do not like comedy may not like this movie though. It is very comical and sometimes not just from smartly created jokes but from stupid actions. Overall, the film puts in all forms of comedy to fully encompass the movie in hysterical acts to keep it interesting and funny all around. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedies! It's a great time and it is hilarious t

3 Point Lighting  In order to successfully light an interview or scene most people will use the 3 point lighting method. This method involves a key light, fill light, and back light.  Here you can see an example of the key light placement. The key light is the main source of light and it is placed to one side of the camera so that one side is well lit while the other side has some shadow.  The fill light is next. This is used on the opposite side of the key light and will fill in the shadows created by the key light. This light is also usually softer and less bright than the key light. Here you can see an example of the fill lights placement. Finallly, you have the backlight . This light is placed behind the subject and its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject.  Here you can see the final product of 3 point lighting.
