Halloween Party

2008-08-20T00:48:00.001+07:00

Next month we have a Halloween party on October 31, everyone is looking forward for the costume party. Most of them even already have costume to wear. Some said will wear last year costume and the rest planning to make a new one. I have a perfect costume for myself, a director costume. I am a director so I don’t meet any trouble to find a costume, a daily clothes plus a hat will be just fine. I don’t want to wear complicated costume, because I am a very simple person, everything is just in moderate amount.

I have been invited by Star agencies to party with their staff and stars. The problem is the dress code, it’s not about the costume but the invitee must come in couple. I am not in any relationship right now, so how and who is gonna be my date? I was searching my phone book and start calling each girl I know. Unfortunately they already have date. This is disaster, I keep telling that to myself. Suddenly I remember about my co-director, she is a trainee from university and have been working with me for some time. When it comes to think of it, she is definitely a cute girl, but I never noticed it. I ask her to be my date, and she is agreeing right away, very good news. I want to give Marsha (my co-director) a Halloween costume that matches with me, like a couple. She just has to bring the clapper with her, for the accessories.

For those who still haven’t decided about their costume, you can always search local store or online store. Don’t worry about their Halloween costume safety, I think they have been consider about it already. If you want to be a king, they have a renaissance or noble costume, if you want to match with your couple, a couple costumes is one that you really need. I think the problem is just finding the right one, happy searching.

Define Your Camera’s Format

2008-07-19T00:17:00.001+07:00

I want to share my knowledge about choosing the right camera, it is always best to finding what format that you really need. Below you’ll find most popular format.

DVCPRO HD
Based on the standard definition of DVCPRO format, the DVCPRO HD from Panasonic uses a data rate of 120 MBps and intraframe compression, both of which will provide strong protection from generational loss.

The DVCPRO HD also has supporting cameras and decks that use FireWire I/O, which is a very important feature for keeping an eye on your bottom line. The cost of the equipment is a bit pricey, as it can cost upwards of 80,000$.

HDCAM
The HDCAM format from Sony is based on DigiBeta and can record in 24p, 25p, 50i, and even 60i. It uses a high data rate of 140MBps, which produces a great looking picture with few glitches. Because of the very unusual 17:6:6 color sampling scheme, the color detail is half of DVCPRO HD. The picture is top of the line, proving to be among the best available on the market.

HDV
There is quite a bit of buzz surrounding HDV as the newcomer to the high definition marketplace. With high compression rates, HDV has enabled high quality shooting and editing with low cost tools, including the convenience of high definition video to Mini DV tape. This has also helped to open up the HD field to a wide variety of videographers and producers who would never have even considered going high definition otherwise.

So, have you found the one that matched you best?

DigitalTechnology

2008-02-24T20:56:00.000+07:00

To match or improve the theater experience of movie audiences, a digital cinema system must provide high quality image, sound, subtitles, and captions. Theater managers require server controls for managing and displaying content in multiple theaters, and studios want their content encrypted with secure delivery, playback, and reporting of play times to the distribution company.

The Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), working in conjunction with members of the SMPTE standards committee, has published a system specification for digital cinema that was agreed upon by the major studios.[1] Briefly, the specification calls for picture encoding using the ISO/IEC 15444-1 "JPEG2000" (.jp2) standard and use of the CIE XYZ color space at 12 bits per component encoded with a 2.6 gamma applied at projection, and audio using the "Broadcast Wave" (.wav) format at 24 bits and 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling, controlled by an XML-format Composition Playlist, into an MXF-compliant file at a maximum data rate of 250 Mbit/s. Details about encryption, key management, and logging are all discussed in the specification as are the minimum specifications for the projectors employed including the color gamut, the contrast ratio and the brightness of the image.

Digital cinema conforming to the DCI Standard is referred to within the film industry as D-Cinema while all other forms of digital cinema are referred to as E-Cinema. Thus, while D-Cinema is a defined standard, though one that is still partly being framed by SMPTE as of 2007, E-Cinema may be anything, ranging from a DVD player connected to a consumer projector to something that approaches the quality of D-Cinema without conforming to some of the standards. Even D-Cinema itself has evolved over time before the DCI standards were framed. However, the current DCI standards were made with the intention of standing the test of time, much like 35 mm film which has evolved but still retained compatibility over a substantial part of a century.

Big film director isn't a great speaker off the do

2008-02-19T09:54:00.001+07:00

Ang Lee has tackled English point play, kung fu and indulgent cowboy romance. Just wear't ask him to be little talking at a dinner company. The Oscar-winning manager says that despite his fame, he's highly insufficient and struggles with friendly interaction. "When I'm away the do, it's heavily for me to do a conversation. That's more hard for me than making a picture," he said Saturday on CNN's "Talk Asia. " "Making a film, I have plans in my mind. Somehow one means or another I care to range the camera and have something in the can. But off the lot, at the dining board. it's even hard for me," said Lee, a native of Taiwan. He feels easy "momentarily" if the conversation turns to movies, the 52-year-old filmmaker said, but "that's sort of about it. " "It's heavily for me to find easy socially," he said. "I'thousand ever timid, it's only air of my part."
Lee won an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain. " His Chinese-language spy thriller "Lust, Caution" won the best Golden Lion award at this class's Venice Film Festival. His films too admit "Hulk," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Sense and Sensibility. " He said being one of the about known Chinese-speaking directors in the domain is a large weight. "I'd quite be seeing person else take the flashlight," Lee said. "It's an unbelievable weight on my shoulder. But I'thousand hot about making movies, then equally far as I'thousand interested, that's the responsibility I have."

10 Things you need to become a Film Director

2008-01-02T01:00:00.000+07:00

One beard all film maker gooding to have Steven Spielberg beard, George Lucas, Francis Fords Coppola etcetera. Note, this is not prejudiced, female can have little beard also. Don't trouble if you can't get one beard, you can ever adopt one from one accountable adult.
One Scorcese's dumb figure, Tarantino, Zefirelli. You use' t concepts from anyone makings films named Jones*, then you figure going for anything crazy. How to does ascend with that ideal nickname? Trying hitting one keyboard and regarding what this spell. If it sees really its other be one film maker simple international good finished! Alternatively presses to add berg to your figure eg. Steven Spielberg, Cronenberg's david to that directory contact.
One director baseball cap always uses baseball cap. If it one shoot was chilled by them that of one shell on to keep warming, if it one hots sunny shoot their that of one shell on for keeps head presumably this is subject to be keep their brain at optimum condition. Shell can also double while advertising spaces for your last feature or as an alternative income streams. Man to take tips from Spike Lee, she is made one career comes out baseball cap.
One photograph presses from own be after one camera point This is direct,... point presumably just after says whatever as "That bad guy shoting attempt over there Arnie" or "Blow up that building is Nasty".
One quirk so men can remember who you are in eg interview. Tarantino' utters meteoric' quirk, Scorcese's quirk eyebrow, Burton's Team quirk from the nature.
Friend no, not you ordinary friend, or even comedy WE six packs, but real life celebrity wedding. Become to see hang goes out with Eric Stoltz, throw one barbie and Winona's invite and over Spike. Yeah as if! Alternatively finds a couple lookalikes / cardboard cuts, get one photograph do and usually leave image around its residential / sends to film magazine. One even easier trick (although don't recommnded) are subject to be shoot breeze with Charlie's sheen, Sean's young and any other have.
One directing floodlights guess for finish TV Spike Lee it (Commercial Striped red), Quentin Tarantino is its finish (ER) even Cronenberg's David its finish (Nike).
Umm... one of that head, y.' know director fold outs something that is accomplished from wood and canvas with director on back. Don't slip up from purpose one deck chair instead of. Must its similar, but it new won't do. If you are always on one film setting for one attempt laugh to sit in its head director. One wannabe's friend film maker from mine do it and she leads half Batman and Robin before aware anyone.
One megaphone. In agreement, so closes your eye and attempt and imagining one film maker and you may have placed this one of on until them. Why??
And eventual, one film was known by damn. You can go one of two-way, you can in either have Hollywood cheapest film...

How does the plot become a script?

2008-01-01T03:40:00.000+07:00

STEP ONE

Clearly write out your concept in a couple of lines: eg: "This movie is about "X, a happy dog trainer whose life is thrown into disarray when her faithful doggy companion Shoop is abducted by a rival dog training company." This sets out what your story is about as well as who your primary characters are. You should also try and figure out if this will be a comedy, a drama or horror story. This is called the "genre" of the film. (Producers need to know this or they get very confused.) However today we see more and more mixing of genres in the same film. No dialogue should be added until STEP SEVEN

STEP TWO

Write a paragraph outlining the story in a little more detail - this time adding in a few more characters and important events. Get a stronger feeling for how the thing will play out. We find out X has actually been rather lonely, we learn that there's a hot policeman in there too and there's a climatic shootout towards the end when Shoop is rescued. One could call this paragraph a short synopsis of your story.

STEP THREE

Write a longer outline of your plot. Depending on you, this can be anything from two to twenty pages. (You can also break this step into more steps and write increasingly longer outlines before proceeding to Step Four.). This pretty much establishes the basics of your plot and many of the twists and turns that may take place. Some also call this the "beats" of your script. You can add in stuff about the bad guys, who they are and their motivation for their actions.

STEP FOUR

Take your long outline and begin to break it up into one-or-two line paragraphs. Each paragraph should be a particular unique event. Eg:

What once was:

"X is woken up in the morning by Shoop's long tongue in her face. Later X drives to her dog-training school with Shoop panting in the back."

Becomes:

Paragraph one: X is woken up in the morning by Shoop's long tongue licking her face.

Paragraph two. X drives to her dog training school with Shoop panting in the back.

STEP FIVE

Fill in more paragraphs to make the story flow well and add any other paragraphs needed to fill out the story and expand elements that need it. The paragraphs should include more detailed actions on how things happen.

STEP SIX

Turn these paragraphs into scenes. The concept of a scene is very difficult to explain and almost needs to be intuitively understood. I've never seen an adequate explanation or definition to-date. It helps a great deal to read as many scripts as possible to get a feeling for this. Nevertheless, roughly, a scene is an event that happens in a unique place and time.
E.g. The paragraph description:

Paragraph Sixty Five X arrives at the factory and after looking around discovers Shoop's dog leash in the bathroom.

Could be broken down into:

EXT. ABANDONED FACTORY. DAY X looks up at the front of the abandoned factory. A sign atop reads "NUWARE TILES". X walks up to the front door and opens it.

INT. ABANDONED FACTORY FLOOR. DAY Walking through the dark factory building it becomes clear that there is no-one here anymore. Rubble and trash are strewn all over the floor.

INT. ABANDONED FACTORY TOILET. DAY X opens the door to a filthy toilet and looks in. About to walk away she sees something. A dog's leash. Bending down she picks it up and realises that it is Shoop's leash.

INT/EXT: This refers to the location of the scene. If it is inside it is INT (for interior); if it is set outside it is EXT (for exterior). This should be followed by the location e.g. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE.

DAY/NIGHT: This refers to wether the scene occurs in the day or night. This follows the location.

STEP SEVEN

Start filling in dialogue as well as more detail under each scene. You should have a first draft completed by the end of this process.

STEP EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN etc...

There's a corny but valuable saying about writing that goes: "Writing is not about writing - but about re-writing". The first draft will almost always be shit. It's in the refining, re-writing, re-plotting and fine-tuning that great scripts get made. Congratulations - you've written a script! Now wasn't that fun?

The Path To Directing Film

2008-01-01T03:12:00.000+07:00

There is a huge wish for entry into entertainment industry. Every day, literally, men makes many forms from that effort is one part of entertainment industry, particularly OUR entertainment industry.

Director that is not found follow merintah's instruction on what final filmed product will take after. One director also typically faces one so tight work deadline: cost from filming any of them one cinema or one television show is enormous, and director who doesn't get furnished project on one timely manner will in either become to be dismissed or won't get succeeding task.

This is not can't changed, but to become one director typically mean film school is present. Film that schooled has left one department majors to be instituted at only handful that university as so typical. Severally film schools however prestige grapple significant: film school at New York and university university from south California comes to to manage. There are many film schools, film prestigiousing to school must, of a lot of petitioner and is so competitive and difficult for gets in to go to.

Don't slip up from that graduation believe from film school will mean one its work director on film industry or television. What becomes more likely to be happening is get is conected with one low level entertainment industry position. One old proverb on carries on business amusement to declare for everybody gets to their rights pay. This statement maybe one exaggeration, but it is not many something. Overwhelming majority from peopled one employs at entertainment industry start null at positioning lower and if they are fortunate, eventually find success at positioning from autonomous. Are hard this even so maybe to believe, there are many individual with degree film from prestigious university and expensive whatever available works as waiter or at severally similar capacity. Study in here clear: Be certain that film aim must what you want do before done for film school, and becomes ready to wait, maybe for a long time, before you are able to merge rank from director professional.

Smoking in the Movies

2007-12-31T03:31:00.000+07:00

There is so umpteen characteristic which as screenwriters gets we appoint for our character. Quirk, eccentricity and habit good and bad. Do we have one moral, social responsibility or ethical to remember that severally stops the show maybe watch this character and wants to emulate her or her? This not necessarily mean audience is one slate gawp or my fool stop smoke a few weeks returning. And I say you, while am I see one character smoke on one my cinema want to add my face go to display and that smoke sip straight into my lung. This is tough. Peopled magazine used to has one policy from photoshopping outs to smoke usually is a prey to on until from so umpteen celebrity. But their one no have begun to show smoke anyway. Generically deserves to see entire image, they figure. So celebrity does it and public see this so how come one writer becomes somehow compare to go to that? We don't write about fact men, we are writing about men feigning. To me, this will avoid to fascinate or makes smoke see cool. At Blade RUNNER, smoker abounds. But it is part of break down, no moon, dystopian's performance from story. I mean, look at that the world. Shoot, I buy my smoke by truckload.

I recently read one interviews with Shia LaBeouf, and interviewer that covers that LaBeouf blazes one smoke before answer next question. Shall that detail has been covered? If interviewer that don't have named smoke, person that don't come in calculation will ever have known that LaBeouf is one smoker. So why does she or she covers this? Journalistic sincerity? Or is it irresponsible. Until we see its image at Peopled and one small is noticed, blurry white sticks at something handles. Shall interviewer one have wented behind this detail? Maybe LaBeouf shall have serviced that smoke if writer that makes one note from it? One that? Neither?

One that row between sociological responsibility and does our work as story of storyteller? I currently phantom write one mystery novel with one Texan's client that depicts its main character drink a great many. I mean myriad. Maybe it is one thing Texas. But I advise her that we really will need for crosscut down number from Dewar and waters us show this person option bottom. Why? Since we want our reader for as person this, don't raise whenever eyebrow they she slams behind the other. I mean, I am working here material and I don't know how person stand up and solving whatever. This will variably if material be LEAVE LAS VEGAS, really? Or that it will?

Do writer get carte blanche or our one have to remember that it we do be bread and circus? We are selling our story, really? To buyer. Who turn around and sells story go to public. Who is going have judgment and reaction to our material.

This is one issue complexes and one slippery slope. Maybe writer that writes to except i am NEW one CHEERLEADER (wonderful cinema by the way) may not have written it. This features homosexuality, after all. That not one habit even bad even so aught the way you bear. Really. But not goes to one conservative it is not. This is one deteriorate lifestyle option. One that crossbeam may not be depicted. Argument the one that I can't get behind.

For my money, writer creates inspired art by living. Messy, sadness, out of the ordinary, imperfect life. At real life, men have bad habit and lacking. One that what makes we man.

MPAA'S decision the newest one to add warning for cinema with smoking excessive without historical context appears to misdirect while cinema likes TO SAW OUT, Garrison or captivity is on huge billboard for our all to guide by daily. Now that offended. Point is canted while smoke is one worse offense than persecution and maul. Don't get I wrong smoke be bad. I jolly I stop; this is one terrible habit. But surely we have to fish out are even greater to fry as one landscape common. And as inch we towards one 1984 esque's scenarios, with MPAA (which is. 5 that main corporation alone cinema studio) decide for us what do we get and can't see, this elaborate that writer becomes honest about what do they depict rather than give in to force for whitewash. We owe this for our reader and audience to say truth whereof we see.

Professional Screenplay Formatting Tips

2007-12-31T03:25:00.000+07:00

As the number of screenwriters increases around the world, literary agents, screenwriting contests and film and TV productions companies are bombarded with more and more material. To make matters worse, tens of thousands of new media graduates enter the fray every year. The sheer number of specs flying around the industry is simply overwhelming. The Writer’s Guild of America gets 50,000 new registrations a year alone!

Now some of this material is good. Most of it, though, is not. And unfortunately that overwhelming majority of scripts that are poorly formatted, poorly written, way too long or just downright amateur has created a generation of angry and jaded professional readers.

Now you might say, “What do I care what some lowly reader working a desk in the bowels of CAA’s dream-making machine thinks of my masterpiece!? He’s just a reader!”

Well you better care, because that kid is the gatekeeper to your future, and if you don’t make him or her happy - and confident that your are indeed a professional quality screenwriter - the minute they lay eyes on your script, you’ve already lost half the battle.

Don’t believe me? Okay, look at it this way... It is a well known fact that at every agency and production company there are three piles of scripts.

Pile “A”: Screenwriters they personal know and have respectable credits (not some short film or that ‘feature’ you made with your mates). We’re talking ‘Sold’ writers here.

Pile “B”: Screenwriters recommend by other agencies, lawyers or companies.

Pile “C”: General submissions from people they don’t know - AKA YOU!

The A-Pile usually gets read quickly by someone with power and experience. Often the agent / producer herself.

The B-Pile is read by the agent’s top assistant or a junior partner / creative executive at the firm.

The C-Pile is usually read by an intern, office boy, or fresh out of film school, wet behind the ears newbie.

Now don’t despair. That office boy may have no power, but what he does have is a burning desire to find that diamond in the rough (your script!) and thus move his way up.

So what can you do to impress this kid? Good question. Let’s ask one:

I feel the need.... the need for speed!

Damn straight I do. I’m a reader you see. I’m a 22 year-old gal in Hollywood who just got off work on Friday... But before I can let my overworked, underpaid self really cut loose and enjoy the weekend, I’ve got to read freaking 5 scripts AND have coverage of them ready for Monday’s afternoon story meeting!

Yeah, yeah, I can read them by the pool, but when I reach into my beach bag and pull out some yahoo’s 125 page rom-com, my heart sinks. My first instinct is to simply chuck it in the deep end, but since it’s my job, I’ll at least read enough to fake the coverage later with a big ole PASS / PASS on both script and writer.

Now for you boys and girls who don’t know what PASS means... this isn’t high school. PASS is not a good thing. PASS means... FAIL. As in you failed to impress me, I’ve duly logged such in our database (which we share with most of the other agencies in the business), and my company will most likely never read anything from you ever again. Certainly not this script, no matter how many times you tell us you’ve ‘re-worked’ it.

Just remember scripts are like movies. Funny how that works, huh? They should be read in a single sitting. Furthermore, reading them should be fun and entertaining. And there’s nothing entertaining about a 125 page script that takes 3 hours to read!

Ideally your screenplay should have that young gal frantically flipping pages, as she blindly paws for her mohito, she is so engrossed. And what makes readers engrossed? All together now... SPEED. Pure unadulterated speed!

Classic Movies Vs. Digital Movies

2007-12-30T03:28:00.000+07:00

Modern moviegoer wants to see rapid fire action, one simple plot and a lot of special effect. On last a few years most successful cinema is budget outgrow cinema, with many explosion and actress is beautiful. Obviously, we can't criticize someone for what her cinema or she like and hating but cinema from fact quality offer are more than spectacular and female explosion be beautiful.

For example, on early days from movie industry, over there is not no special effect in conection with that fact technology is beginning even to develop. Back at the old day, cinema of one complex and smart plot; in those days you assess one cinema by how well performed actor, how good plot is; currently, men assesses cinema by amount from TNT be used, computer that result used special effect, number from that girl is in cinema and let don't forget that one good cinema one must-have plot this as simple as. I don't say that all modern cinema am bad, but letting becomes frank, most of they what do have this ingredient, and you can't blame producer because if audience want to see one of the mentioned, you shall give them that so that they can make one so versus.

Get back to old cinema, in those days, over there is not whatever computer, no special effect; this is down go to actor, one that on opinion I am most important part on one cinema. Let doesn't forget that black and white cinema what do of one special see which blackout at today's computerised cinema. Work takings this hard to make one behind cinemas on day, this takings even year to make some cinema at compare to present, while are cinema make on one basic makes a abode. To utterly understand this aspect I what do of two question: What do car you will buy? One car manually builds or one car that is made at a few hours by robot? Which is from more quality? Answer is obvious, at least on my opinion: manually something builds since it is far better, with greater quality.

This is correct situation with cinema; if you see one cinema be computerized mean it that you have seen they all, they are all the same in comparison with classic cinema that variably cause each producer, director visits by something new, whatever has already been seen before, that cinema way interests since not only producer except also actor struggle to give they besting to pull cinema fans.
Severally samples from excitement cinema that all mustn's cinema enthusiast ms' t is: 1. “Casablanca ”; 2. “Going With The Wind ”; 3. “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington ”; 4. “Sunset boulevard ”; 5. “This most grows into one Night ” etc. also. 5 cinema this classic: great actor, great performance, great producer, everything is great about this cinema.

Severally you may frown upon old cinema; I of many abatamen from advices: attempt watches colorized's version from some classic cinema, you may shift you mind around its cinema; this cinema have myriad to offer, their gives one attempt, I can make sure you that you won't repent Going watch With The Wind, for example.

All considered things, most of the old cinema from so high quality with accent put on actor don't on special effect which in those days is inexistent. Don't get I blunder, severally cinema today is great but most of they incomparable to the old cinema as Alfred Hitchcock “ Bird or Ernst Lubitsch “ Trouble At Paradise ” .
