10/27/2022

A Comprehensive Blog Post on Acting & Composition

      During this portion, I exceeded the expectations of this exercise by not only learning how to analyze the acting & composition, but also putting it into action when documenting about the frames of a film, along with their focused protagonists. For this segment, I created a chart, and to craft this material, I used google slides as my media source, followed by gathering my information from watching clips of the film 'It 2', released on September 6th, 2022 found on YouTube. My partners Su-Young, Julien, and I used our personal laptops, which made it a swift process to design & report information onto the slide. However, one hitch that we encountered during this exercise was choosing who was responsible for the way the chart looked. We were able to overcome this obstacle by noting our responsibilities. I was responsible for finding the frame which will be examined, Julien was responsible for the final appearance of the chart, along with the shared task of Su-Young, who added the text information which fits our data! 

    Within the pre production of a film, it is crucial to have the elements of a character noted in order to use clues from the story to learn more about the character, It is also important because it helps us understand the story, along with bringing general captivation towards the character, and how the subject reacts with it's environment (composition) The settings discussions may help me establish the mood for my film before recording. Thus, It was expected for me to complete this exercise, which will give me a better advantage on enhancing my mastery on Mise en scene. Overall, analyzing the elements of mise en scene may support the understanding of the directors message, and theme- which my ultimately help me and my crew for filming! Below, are the final charts that were made within the activity 3 preliminary exercise!
