“Burtonesk”

-






I have met with Tim Burton through one of my favorite movie, "Corpse Bride" taken with stop-motion technique. 
However, my favorite "Charlie's Chocolate Factory" from the other movie of this man is a truly excellent (subjective) interpretation of his story and his cinematic perception. 
I can see his style and especially the music he chooses (Danny Elfman), the themes work in complete harmony. That's why I really like this guy's style. The color scans he chooses can be called "dark" colors by simplifying them, but I think the man has a palette of his own which is particularly useful in most of his movies. That's enough to make him unique.







He has a unique style in his films. We talked about the class discussion. The drawings and characters he created in the Gothic and Puppet style are complete "Tim Burton" style.
More distorted colors create different camera angles that distort our perception. In particular, the drawing consists of exaggerated extremely long or short characters. 
The most interesting thing for me is the eye size of the characters. In general, they are always tired, frightened and have huge eyes. 
Especially in the "Corpse Bride" Vincent, Emily and Emma's characters are the most affected triple.


For the Final Project, I thought, maybe we can make an event that is normal from a "big eye" to look like things that are distorted according to their own experiences. Of course, I haven't thought about a definite solution yet, because we haven't confirmed it with my group friends. After talking to my group friends, I'm going to improve my mind a little bit more and decide on how to look or combine it on a digital platform.
In fact, when we develop this project a little more, we can go to a psychological situation. We know that everyone has their own ideas and emotions so we can implement it in a setup that can vary according to everyone. I think we can create an "inner world" with distorted images, sounds, and complex colors.

Digital Installation

We are in the process of finding ideas for our final project. This time we are asked to do a setup with a digital aspect that is different from the ones we did last time. In fact, I would like to do this kind of digital collage project because I like digital collage style. Of course, we have to consider this by adhering to the resources we have. For example, we can create a story on such human figures, standing in front of the projection, reflecting our own image. To my opinion; I think we can place two projections at the top and bottom. After separating the horizontal or vertical line on a wall, a person's eyes and nose; the other person can try something funny by combining his mouth and his jaw. ( or like this, an animal face...) I also like the light shows made with these shapes. It looks very different and a technological ornament.

About This Week...

Adding Sound The sound is the most important point in the movies. Actors' movements can become even more effective with the current music or sound. However, one of my favorite movie which is " About Schmidt ", begins as a silent movie in general. It's not a “noisy”, “distracted” movie. In the beginning, we can understand Schmidt's problem from his looks and attitudes. We can hardly notice what his problem is. Of course, ingenuity is the ability to capture the film without sound but this is the most "silent- close" film I've ever watched. That's why I can give it as an example. Although it was not completely silent, the animation " Wall-E ", which was in the silent film category, impressed me a lot, and as I said, I think the important thing is to be able to give the message clearly, and of course, this is only done with beautiful shots. ________________________________________________________________________________ Adapt Th...

Lighting

This week, we did a "workshop" about light. In fact, the important point was the so-called "3 points light". In that way, we tried organizing three lights and taking photographs. Besides, we took pictures with different filters, using reflector and dimming for creating different types of photographs. I think this kind of activity is more enjoyable than listening to a normal lecture. I didn't understand how passed fast that 3 hours. I think that working in a studio environment is more instructive. Using light, we can give emotion to many scenes. The wrong light can ruin everything. So we need to figure out where we're sharp and where we can use soft light. Since we worked as a group, everyone tried to reflect their own style. Of course, it was not possible for the middle road. I, I like working with shadows, silhouettes and dark colors. The focus on the eyes of more people is more attractive to me. The technique we call "Chiaroscuro Lighti...
