Exercise 2

Just realized I typed "exercise" in the title still wrong, oops sorry. :p

I posted the wrong edit..here you go enjoy "End of Summer"

Exercise 2: Star Wars Scene

I shot this scene from three angles and it would have been nice to have a wide angle lens....but it was still fun working with the cuts from one angle to the other to make the scene more interesting. Since I did not have a dedicated cameraman I did not do any close-ups, which would have improved the work a lot. But, here it is! I published in 1920x1080, so the file was too big for the blog's device. I put it on Youtube.

Exercise 2 - Control Room Scene

Starring Kristina Phillips, CoStarring Robert Phillips

We didn't get too creative.

We decided on two angles, but utilized a varied focal length on one of the shot angles to deal with the fact that its two people making a three person scene.  We used sound effects to assist in the perception that John Arnold is still sitting at the computer working.

We also recorded each scene essentially end to end (of the script) so as to have more options for editing cuts into the final.  But because the script and segments of video are short, the cuts are kind of short...so I did try to minimize the number of cuts we included.

Thanks for watching.

Comment: Kino-eYe...

I found this piece very interesting, principally regarding the artist's deliberate sense of intent to exploit the ease at which people could be manipulated via the medium he was discovering the power of.

It was almost childlike.  Like a child who has just discovered they could lie.  Conversation of the darker inner self.

I tend to believe that people conspire to manipulate to great extents...using all mediums of communication, all mediums of influence.  This is just an example of some of the thoughts that are behind the conspiracies and acts.

Kino-Eye

It seems like montage is a good when you are trying to teach people or force people to think in a cretin type of way.  Using media as a way to brainwash people.  His style seems to fit with the times he was living in.

Kino-Eye

I would say the reading this week is much more tame than what we had read previously. That being said, I would not call this completely a docile piece of literature. It first started off saying that the camera is such an amazing piece of tech which can capture the beauty of our world with which our human eyes could not. With the camera, you don't have to worry about time flow or positions since the lens will create your "world" for you. As it goes on though, it portrays they Kino Eye as basically all the best form of media. Theatre was inferior since the only view one could get of it was from where you sat and only there. The camera would allow you to view each point of the show, instantly moving from one to another without having to pause, but a instant transition. I do agree that the camera could portray a story that one could not normally see with just your eyes but this piece just gives the camera too much credit.

THE LEGACY OF THE KINO EYE

Interesting reading.
We are looking at making the camera better. it is amazing to see how far the technology has come from when this was printed. We are not taking away from theater. it is a different side of storytelling.
Just my thoughts.

THE LEGACY OF THE KINO EYE

After reading about the Kinoks and gaining a deeper understanding of what the kino-eye...I think I get what they were trying to accomplish which is to call forth a true cinematic revolution with the camera eye (kino eye) being the harbinger of truth-because the human eye does indeed have its limitations. On many levels they wanted to document the truths of the world and felt that staged productions were merely lies that humanity tells itself to feel "ok" with the world.

The rejection of traditional cinema by way of forcing the camera lens to become the new third eye was controversial, mainly because humans tend to put themselves at the center of everything and if not "man" than a man-made "God" and now you have a machine if you will that was created by "man" being proclaimed as the third-quid or shall I say the missing link between "man" and "god" so from a philosophical standpoint the Kinoks were placing the "machine" before all else. And, now we have an untold amount of  drones equipped with kino eyes documenting our every thought and action on a daily basis, and that's scary. Are Drones the legacy of the Kinoks? In a true communistic sense they very well could be.  Maybe I'm giving it to much thought, but then again maybe I've given it just the right amount of thought.

If the kino eye was meant to explore humanity in the raw and document our actions and reactions than drones are in deep sadly the legacy that the Kinoks have left behind rather they ever envisioned the lens to be used outside of film or not. The all seeing eye is no longer "God" but "man" who uses the "machine" as its weapon....I've seen enough Terminator films to know how well that turns out once the machine opens up its kino-eye and becomes self-aware!

I also think that the Kinoks would hate Fox News and how they use the documentary film style to manipulate the public on a daily basis.

The Futurist Manifesto...

I probably should have researched the period and the society of the person that wrote the Manifesto...Of course we can take into account the era in which this article was created, but I still hear words and ideas similar to those found in the reading, being expressed in essence all the time, all of my life by people from many different walks of life.

I simply see the writing as possibly expressions that are simple in terms of their true source or intent.  Expressions of disenchantment, poetic expression of a desire to break from traditions that can be stifling.

Even today, there are anarchists, and there are youth who are easily taken to join these communities of thought...I've met some of them...they speak very similarly to the writer of The Futurist Manifesto...but I don't think they are serious about the destruction...though I know some could easily stumble onto the wrong path.  Sometimes youth, and even some adults (probably somewhat stunted in maturity, or simply very narrow in their view of how important order is), will spout words that sound like those.

On another plane, I see this expression as possibly words of  a frustrated, obviously intelligent, but still developing mind.  Or perhaps they are the expression of a mind of an individual that might have been stifled by the standards that require sooo much conformancy in order to be accepted in intellectual or fine arts communities...  In eras past, SO many artists were required to study in specific schools or under certain masters in order to have their talents respected or appreciated.  A person who's dream is deferred can become deeply frustrated and that frustration could become anger, it could even fester into hatred.

The Futurist Manifesto

I have mixed feelings on the article. Some of their reasons for rebelling I can somewhat agree with but, their way of going about it is completely wrong. There is ways for making things happen and their way, is not the smartest in my opinion.

1st of all, What is up with all of the "destroying museums and libraries"? (erasing the past) You shouldn't have to destroy the past to make a future. You always should have your past to remind you of how you got to the present and to help you determine how you want to shape your future.

Next, the people that are leading this seem like very "Interesting " people. They are the who I like to call the " ride or die " friend. The person that is down for whatever .Everyone has one. That person that you can call at anytime and they will drop whatever their doing and be there. Most of the time you call them when some sort of conflict is happening. They are usually very outspoken and fearless. In other words, in a confrontation you want them on YOUR side !  Anyway this person usually act on emotions. Which is great at times but you also have to THINK . Every action has a re-action. And in their explanations they kept saying what they were "going to do " but , they never said what was going to happen next. That is when  the danger comes. When acting on the now emotions you don't think of the later effects.  SO, while they right now have plans, they really haven't thought past the present day. Which is kind of funny saying that they are "Futurist's". ;)

Anyway , I think their motives are right . There saying it's "Time For A Change". They want to "Break The Mode" , Think Outside The Box" . They want to stop letting traditions and habits or "What Always Happen" or " It's The Way We Do Things " be the building points for their futures.

The Futurist Manifesto

I had to reread the first few paragraphs to try to get an understanding but once I reached about halfway through the first page, it became clearer as to what the message was. To me, this seems to be more anarchic than a movement. It talks about destroying libraries and museums with "your pickaxes, your axes
and hammers and wreck, wreck the venerable cities." What this manifesto is telling you to do is basically dismantle and destroy anything that houses historical information or symbols of a prior age to your own without regard. Now I understand that the saying is don't dwell on the past but all I'm reading is to erase the past as if it were a flat tire hindering progress from one goal to another. I also understand, however, that this was written back in 1909 when times were different. They had different worries, ethics and technology to ours'. That does not change the fact that we could both recognize anarchy when we see it.

The Futurist Manifesto

I found it most interesting reading.
I do love the idea of "sing the love of danger." I used to do MMA fighting and Mauy Thai. I am accustom to elements  of danger and having the warriors heart. I do not like the idea of Exalting aggressive action. We know of the consequences of the drums of war.
I hate the idea of  "We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice" 1st as a women I take offence to the idea of fighting feminism. There are many women warriors such as Mulan from China, Kaihime from Japan Joan of Arc and many others through history that have put a sword into the pweople that told them what they can and can not do. Losing the arts and such is losing a piece of our humanity and culture.
Just my thought.
