on set- applying the make up in 'the gamble'
Make-up was extremly important in making our scenes seem more realistic, so that it can give an impact on the audience that we desired. I brought the make up in and Reece applied it to me and Isaac's faces. For Isaac's character we needed to have a scene where he was all battered and bruised, therefore we applied different shades of purple and foundation to create the correct contrast of colours to form a bruise. For my character, 'the villain' we had to draw on a moustache and goatee to make him look more like a magician. We used a bit of eye liner on his eye too, so that his identity is further hidden, as the eyes are one of the best places to look to uncover somebodys true identity.

all members of production need to watch this
importance of lighting research
-- quest for greater realism-- the creation of atmosphere or emotional effect.
A film director, or filmmaker, is a person who directs the making and/or the production of a film.[1] Many people also consider film producers, cinematographers, film editors, and special effects experts to be filmmakers[2].
A film director is a person who visualizes the screenplay, controlling a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of his or her vision. In some cases, film directors do not have absolute creative control. The director can also be selected by the producer. The producer in this case very likely has veto power over everything from the script itself to the final editing of the film, often in anything from slight to extreme opposition to the director's vision.
When directing individual episodes for a television show, a director's responsibilities are somewhat diminished, since the visual look and emotional impression of the TV series has already been established, usually by the person billed as the show's creator, executive producer, or producer. Those directors who choose or are chosen to work in TV traditionally have had to accept that they will not be as lauded, or as well-paid, as their big-screen counterparts.[3]
Film directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film. They often develop the vision for a film and carry the vision out, deciding how the film should look. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Directing a film is a kind of storytelling. Film directors are responsible for approving camera angles, lens effects, lighting, and set design, and will often take part in hiring key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves and also may be involved in the writing, financing, and editing of a film.
The director works closely with the cast and crew to shape the film and may often take suggestions on pertinent issues. Some like to conduct rigorous rehearsals in preproduction while others do so before each scene. In either case this process is essential as it tells the director as well as other key members of the crew (Director of Photography, stunt choreographer, hair stylist, etc.), how the actors are going to play the scene, which enables them to make any necessary adjustments. Directors often use storyboards to illustrate sequences and concepts, and a director's viewfinder to set up camera angles.
i was confused on what a directo really does.
so i used wikki pedia to get my focus correct so ican direct effectively with knowing my roles
The director also plays a key role in post-production. He/she works with the editor to ensure that the emotions of the scene and the close ups, mid shots and wide or long shots appropriately reflect which character is driving the narrative. The director also advises on the (colour) grading of the final images, adding warmth or frigidity to the composition of the shots to reflect the emotional subtext of the character or environment. They also participate in the sound mix and musical composition of the film.
Methods of film directing which I will adapt
Appear in their film and Outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue.
whats the purpose?
While I was sitting posting things up on my Blog, I started to wonder why do people make movies and what is so important about opening sequences?
I came to conclusion that movies entertain, project a message, and are something which people can relate to visually. This then led me to think, what is the point of our film and our opening sequence?
Well our film projects those material things that can all be lost in an instant. The storyline hopefully makes the reason realise that in life there are more valuable things to prioritise. It shows how nasty the world can be; the world can use you, chew you, and spit you out. And the nasty mysterious man may seem bad but at a deeper level he is trying to help John see that what he is chasing for is worthless.
Money makes the world go round. But does it make the sun go up or down?
Does it make the season change? But does it save you from the inevitable race against death? Hopefully the story line of the man falling to the rock bottom will make the audience more conscience that there is more to life.
Moving on the opening, of the scene hopefully intrigues the reader. I want to give away clues which will in engage but not give the whole film away. The purpose of an opening is to entice the audience. Further more I want to establish the mysterious man as evil and a psycho when really he is the smartest and in crazy way trying to help john. So the audience gets a misconceived view of the mysterious man.
After thinking about this I have a clearer view of the underlined purpose of the whole project other than a media project. This will help more as a director to direct the actors to portray this and construct a meaningful opening.
