Diagrammatic Analysis: First Attempt

This was an attempt at a visual diagrammatic analysis of the 34 actual frames that make up the camera directional changes. I attempted to track the movement of the circles and curves within the frame itself. I used different colors to represent different pieces of the scene.

Light Blue: Actual Scenery
White: Circular Movement
Purple: Faces of Main Characters
Pink: Costumes
Yellow: The Ring

I began to realize partially through these diagrams that there was a foreground middle back issue occurring in the piece of the film where the camera is within the center circle of characters panning person to person. The costumes create curves and circles in the foreground which begins to help focus the viewer on the main character of the clip. Unfortunetly I was using bright pink to "mask" these features and upon examining the final product, this analysis needs a second go around to help further the intention.

A very very simple animation

This is possibly the simplest animation of my model from last week. I attempted to create more space between each of the line figures, but ultimately after animating them I realized they cant really be differentiated in this video. Perhaps overlaying the lines on the still frames would be useful or maybe the lines moving towards the camera as the camera is moving into them?

Diagram Scene Analysis

This diagram shows the variation between the story telling and the fantasy world, as well as the camera angle changes, the way in which the camera is moving/panning.













This was the original sketch that I used to diagram the scene as I watched it. This includes analysis of the camera motion, the place, angle changes, and where the camera is in relation to the scene. I found that for the most part the camera angle changes every 2 seconds, there are a few exceptions to this rule. It seems that there are more camera angle changes when there is tension arising between the characters in the center circle. I also documented the motion of the characters in the scene itself in comparison to the motion of the camera, it appears for the most part the camera moves with the character's movements, just at a slower rate.

The Fall: The Wedding Scene 40 seconds

The original clip that I chose was 2:00 minutes long. I decided to shorten the scene to a point where there are still several perspectives taken by the camera, different frames, and hopefully enough to create a compelling animation. I may end up choosing to use the whole clip if there is not enough information within this clip, there is an end point of the original scene which i do find particularly compelling that is not included, and I may try and find a way to incorporate it.

The Fall: The Wedding Scene and a Sequence of Circles

The wedding scene in the movie "The Fall" has a repetition of circles in the visuals, the movement of the camera and characters. My first step in analyzing the sequence and space of the frames was to pin point the camera angle changes, the placement of the circles in the frame, and the movement of the characters in comparison to the motion of the camera.

These are the first few screen shots.

Project 2: Spatial and Temporal Sequence

"The Fall": The Wedding Scene

This is the original clip that I found to use for the project. It is a clip from the movie "The Fall," the scene was something that appealed to me because of the different camera angles, the repetition of circular patterns as well as the circular path of the camera.
