Final Project

The Last Move

Spencer Haberman: Edited

Wendy French: Art Director

Megan Kiley: Cinematographer

Andrea Diaz: Actress

Conner Zazzo: Actor

Process:
We were brainstorming ideas of what to do and came up with the idea of death. Want to play off death and how smoking kills but not directly implied, but the person smoking loses and dies.

Summary:
We have two characters sitting at a table under the veranda. Mike is smoking a cigarette and slowly puffing on it. Mike is wearing dark colored clothes and is in obvious pain. In between each puff, he coughs and wheezes. Sitting across the table is Susan. Susan is dressed in bright color clothes and munching down on gum. She is perky and excited to be sitting at the table. In the middle of the table is a set of dominos. Susan places a domino on the board and says “Beat that!” Mike responds “Easy.” and places another one down. Susan looks at him. She places another one down on Mikes side of the table. Susan, “You have been blocked.” Mike looks up at her and smiles. He has realize he has lost the game. Mike Coughs a lot more as he finished his cigarette. He throws it on the floor.

                                                            END SCENE

Terms:

• Art of seeing: Setting (Sykes veranda), Mood (sad), Environment (college)
• Point of view: The camera will shift from points of view (ex. 1st person and perspective of the dominos)
• Metaphor: Domino is blocked and he loses the game (symbolizes he is about to die from smoking)
• Double Entrendre: Smoking kills
• Multiple frames: All of our different angles (wide, close, master, over the shoulder)
• Framing of the image: All of the shots will be framed and cropped to be aesthetically pleasing
• Life and Death: Cigarettes symbolize the death and color symbolizes the life
• Sound and Audio: Dialogue and sound effects (coughing)
• Implied sound: No cough sound when the cigarette falls

Perspective Project Comments

1. Benjamin Dreiker & Spencer Haberman: good image, clear concept, maybe change the background to indicate that he’s a baker, could add more details (have him holding a cooking utensil, wear an apron with stains, wear an oven mitt, etc.), can’t tell that it’s a cake (add details to indicate so if necessary)
2. Michael Ciluffo, Dominic Gallone & Connor Zazzo: cool concept, maybe show more of the goal to indicate that it’s the goalie, nice details building the tension
3. Jeslin Ritz & Berkley Whaley: interesting concept but maybe show more of the bottom of the trunk to get an idea that the person’s being enclosed in it, good background setting but maybe use a male figure closing the trunk, nice angle
4. Megan Kiley & Stevie Ruzich: good idea combining the pictures, maybe use a different name for the contact to make it more realistic, good idea using the text to set the scene, the peephole in the middle is kind of confusing, might be stronger if the boy was facing the “peephole,” maybe use arrows or something to show the progression
5. Andrea Diaz & Peter Insdorf: good idea but confusing angle
6. Frank Calo & Tara O’Connor: nice variety of perspectives, maybe space the sides more to indicate that the top and bottom are related, interesting set of photos put together
7. Erin Brockman & Alex Medvedev: clear idea, great image details (hands, books, pen, drink, backpack, setting, blackboard, people, etc.), good camera angle
8. Micaela Figueroa & Jennifer McElroy: nice idea, maybe put people in the seats or darken it more, maybe show a little more in the second image, third image is the most visually intriguing, put both images together for the second project maybe, interesting concept for the second project, maybe crop the white out a bit and show more of the metal machine for the second project
9. Kofi French Cudjoe & Elizabeth Lynch: very interesting image, a little confusing conceptually

Point of View

Partner: Elizabeth Cox
Point of View: Cigarette

The flames around the edge represent the burning cigarette, and the circular shape is used to portray the shape of a cigarette. The smoke and the placement of her lighter is used to suggest that she is smoking. The black around the edge is used to indicate the ash inside cigarettes.

Art of Seeing Group Project

Line: The lines on the bench are mainly parallel and horizontal.

Shape: The tire of this car can be seen as a circle.

Color: This poster consists mainly of the primary colors, red and blue.

Space: The area between these works of art is composed of lines, which forms a grid layout.

Texture: The trunk of this tree provides a rough texture.

Emphasis: The stop sign is emphasized in this picture because the red color makes it more prominent, especially when compared to the black street sign.

Balance: The lines mirroring each other on the basketball court create balance.

Harmony: The lines on the Sykes chapel are repeated, creating harmony.

Variety: The contrast between the lines above and the circular fountain along with the texture of the palm trees in the background provides variety.

Movement: The blurred colors around the soccer players’ shoes portray their movement.

Proportion: The tree in front of Sykes chapel appears almost the same size as Sykes chapel, simply because it was closer to us.

Rhythm: The repetitious lines emphasize the sign.

Unity: The different lines, shapes, colors, and textures create an aesthetically appealing image.
