Alien (1979) - Film Review.

-

Directed by Sir Ridley Scott and written from the minds of Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett; Alien (1979) is a film full of jump scares, high suspense and restless curiosity, as stated by Roger Ebert “At its most fundamental level, "Alien" is a movie about things that can jump out of the dark and kill you.” further emphasising the menacing and hostile nature of the foreign organism. Alien (1979) not only pushes boundaries in terms of visual design, but also in subliminal messages hidden within the film that the audience will have to sit a decipher; these include woman empowerment, challenging misogynistic views and the vulnerable qualities that reside in men.

Sessions with James #2 - Animation with the Ultimate Bony Rig.

This week we looked at using the bony rig to create a short animation showing the rig sitting down. We had a choice of either shooting reference to use or we could find reference online and use that as our base for our animation.

Film Lecture Series #5 - Character & Storytelling + Film Review.

Characters are a mix of complex qualities that can be hidden or personified to viewers by other means such as through personal nature or through a representation of a concept or quality. Actors are usually the ones to ‘find’ characters and build that characters internal/external dynamics to audiences so they can understand their personality/nature. So within stories characters are either designed to respond to events within the cinematic (e.g. Speed 1994) or are designed so that the characters cause the events that play out in the film (e.g. 12 Angry Men 1957). Meaning in some cases the audience really get to know the character, but in others they are just there to get the story across so don’t learn much about the character. Too much Plot? Some times in film you find stories to have ‘too much plot’ which can lead to having no character. For example, in Rambo: First Blood (1982) there are internal and external factors that drive the character John Rambo, creating a character with...
