How does clothing affect film?-
Clothing is important to film because it helps depict a character and show who they are suppose to be. For example, a character in a suit is either trying to show he is powerful or he is straight up powerful. In the youtube video it talks about how a hacker wearing a ripped t-shirt isn't going to give off the impression that he is all knowing and powerful. Audience member already have pre-conceived ideas of how certain types of people will be. A better fit for a hacker would be a person wearing a suit and glasses because it depicts what we expect. Color can also be important from character to character. In pulp fiction the men losing their suits for t-shirts and shorts shows a loss of power and when their boss comes around wearing a suit it shows that he knows he is in charge and so do the men. Along with everything that makes a film come together clothing is really critical when it comes to character development. If a character is said to be something but is dressed wrong for the occasion it sends a message of "they are trying to be something they are not". While clothing is really important it is something many filmmakers completely overlook. Clothing sets character apart from the scene and conveys the mood of the film. The clothing character wear, when done right, can help the characters stand out and feel cinematic.  Clothing should help convey personality and show who the character is. You should be able to show our audience instead of telling them who your characters are suppose to be. Film making is mostly made up of the things you see and if a character is wearing something that isn't good for their character audience member will feel off about it/ hesitant to believe it's truth. For example, If a group of high school cheerleaders is wearing all black dresses and black makeup you aren't gonna immediately think they are cheerleaders.

Hobbies Project

The hobbies I did my project over were Cheerleading, Dancing, Cats, YouTube (Troye Sivan), and Demi Lovato. I edited my video using Final cut pro. While using Final cut pro I figured out a bunch of things I didn’t know I could do, such as how to detach audio and delete it. I also learned how to make and edit a video.   The reason I chose cheerleading is because I did it for the past two years, and it’s been an interest of mine. The reason I chose dancing is because dancing has always been one of my hobbies but over the course of the past two year I’ve been taking it more seriously. The reason I chose cats is, come on, everyone loves cats. The reason I chose YouTube is because I’ve been making and watching videos since 2009. The reason I chose demi Lovato is because she is a strong independent woman figure. I hope you enjoy my video!

Animation; A man, A corn-dog, And A loss.

This video shows a happy man who swings, and dances but isn't content until he remembers the taste of the wonderful corn-dog. He decides to get a corn-dog but then someone took it from him! *gasp* follow tim the stick man in this crazy adventure and tale of love and loss. -In this project the main concept was to take nothing and make moving art into a store. We were also asked to use sound and effects to help make the image give an illusion that its moving. -Before we went to the computer we made a storyboard showing details about the story we wanted to tell. After that was done we went to keynote and made what we imagined on the computer. We then after went to iMovie and finished our projects adding sounds. We then after exported it and put it on blogger. -During this project i learned a lot about how animation is made and the different ways that its made. i also learned that its easier to duplicate the whole thing and move little pieces to make it flow. -In my next projec

6 shot sequence

The 6 shot sequence is a variety of shots that tell the viewer more about what the character is doing but in less frames. the 6 shots are: close up extra close up medium over the shoulder wide extra wide What I learned while making this project is that it is very hard to put videos together and make them flow. I also learned that is would have been more helpful to record longer videos so you can have a variety of footage to chose from. I also learned that its more beneficial to take the time to chose the right music to match the type of video. when  making my next project I will be sure to spend more time on the editing process and more time recording quality footage.
