how did the character make the audience feel through his actions?
give quick but deep background to the characters mindset and motives.
what was the breaking point of the character or the turning point in his actions.
in what way can you portray mental illness through camera movement, wardrobe, character expression and background.
Summary
in conclusion our character was having a normal day until he gets stuck in LA traffic on a hot day, then things start to escalate when his windows wont roll down and his AC fails to work, he gets really anxious and focused in on all the loud noises and everything else going on around him. in this scene he simply wants to go get some breakfast though it is 11:30 and where he went stopped serving breakfast at 11:00, so the character argues that the customer is always right him being the costumer and they still say they stopped serving breakfast a few minutes ago, then the character snaps, just little things were making our character feel this way and made him do the things that he does, but there is definitely a bigger picture to look at here as to why the character was set off by such small things that cannot be controlled, and I am just wondering why for the bigger picture, and how were they able to portray this so well.
jokes are goofy funny story telling, greatest story commandment is make the audience care, start from the ending go to the beginning, story lesson is fundamentally making a promise that the story will lead somewhere worth your time, story telling without dialogue is one of the best ways to get the viewer to not know they’re consuming and putting the story together by them selfs, give them 2+2 instead of giving them 4 right off the bat, make the audience problem solve, story’s are not predictable, main character is being driven by their spine and a cog, example to find the beauty, to prevent harm, to do what was best for someone or something, drama is anticipations mingles with uncertainty, telling stories through animation, build a better story, story telling has guidelines not hard fast rules, have a theme. tell your stories accurate to your life.
in order to make story telling better you must give your character a spine, and a cog to run on. you must tell a story that is unpredictable, and you must also make sure that you are subconsciously making the viewer piece the story together by themselves without over explaining anything.
how can one put wonder and interest into a film, how do you make a story pop with realism. how to do different styles of story telling, Stuart at the end and move to the beginning.
Citizen Kane (1941) dir. Orson Welles this particular scene shows that holy wood would work wonders with light/lighting. the beames making the document gleam.
The Thief of Bagdad (1924) dir. Raoul Walsh they invented great buildings to film these pieces, they thought Baghdad would be in human in scale, elegant and decorative, costume designers conjured life styles and selves and got to know the body’s of their stars.
Desire (1936) dir. Frank Borzage they had lights to illuminate hair, make eye lashes cast shadows on the face of Marlania Detrick?. dollys in which to move the camera make the image glide.
Gone with the Wind (1939) dir. Victor Fleming the image glided in gone with the wind, as if blown by the wind away from the lovers and the sunset.
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933) dir. Mervyn LeRoy Buzz B Berkeley choreographed this fantasy, girls in the snow making patterns with their moves increasingly abstract geometric.

Movement

could using a quiet background song or sound to help edit to a certain beat give good results of rhythm?
Rhythm could be the stuff that a person runs runs past such as trees, pillars, or picket fences.
I will by, March 2nd as a part of team 1 have completed a short film incorporating a Rhythm, in order to speak to the viewers in a certain sort of way, with the help of {source} to gain further knowledge on Rhythm in our session 4 project. I will explore the film Sound Designer’s skill pathway by following The Visual Story by Bruce Block and will have created scenes that shows rhythm.

Bree and I collaborated on the sound design of our film, and divided the tasks. During this production session I learned how to use the audio decks, which I had never done before. Unfortunately due to a technical malfunction, the audio I recorded was not usable, but I am prepared for the next session. I also learned to utilize my resources. I had recorded room tone for the last project I worked on, and was able to reuse the audio for this project. I also built on my skills in using Garage Band. I was able to make a usable film soundtrack with the desired tone in only half an hour, when previously it took me several days. This audio was also not used in the final project.
