Selcouth frames

When it comes to the world of soundtracks, there are lots of great ones. But Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack for  Interstellar  is without a doubt my all-time favorite one. The following are some of the scenes where it is played. It might be a spoiler for those who haven't seen it though! It is especially interesting how in this scene the music has got a kind of tick that sounds every 1.25 seconds, which corresponds to a full day passing on Earth while they are on that planet. That is an incredible achievement by Zimmer on putting that much attention to time! I’ve chosen it because I think it’s a deep and beautiful soundtrack that I genuinely love, and that I see as one of the best soundtracks in terms of ‘doing its job’ in the film. What I mean is that it matches flawlessly with the whole theme of the film, it makes suspension and tension grow when it’s needed, just at the exact moment. This music achieves to do so by going at a speed of 60 bpm (most of the ti...

First of all, I hope you all are doing great! This time we have come to do a video aimed towards soundtracks. My work is specifically about using the word. Here I read aloud a poem about light. And it goes like this: Light comes To cross the light years. Light comes to allign With the whole universe. Let there be light, In the vein, into the blood, In the eyes, in the inner soul. To enlighten the darkness In the deep darken hearts.

Hi! During these difficult days I have shot this shortmovie that I present as "Aislamiento". It's meant to show how dull my quarantine days come to be in kind of an artistic way if you want to call it. I hope that you like it! Take care The video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ZonpPg-vtDboFjyrjLEUaAF9cJgQFwP/view?usp=sharing

A stop motion is a composition made out of lots of individually shot frames that when put together look like if they were an even video.  During our classes of Image and Sound in highschool, we have come up with the idea of doing the opening credits for our short film applying this technique. This is my result for ''The Great Exam''. Altough it might seem short (it is only 1 minute long), this stop motion clip is made out of 566 individual frames taken one by one, and believe that's a lot of work.  I hope that you like the final result :)).

Today I will be bringing you an example of a broadly known type of cut in movies: the smash cut. You can easily recognise the smash cut at 0:43 because of the harsh transition from silence to that noisy ring bell.

I'm glad to present to you the updated final poster for "The Great Exam", starring Adrián Cobo.

Hello lads, today I am sharing with you a photography work focused on contrast and harmony in color. CONTRAST IN COLOR: HARMONY IN COLOR:

As a mean to show some types of shots I have recorded a scene containing a few of them. These are the shots I have made use of: - Long shot - Medium close up - Full shot/dutch angle - Medium long shot - Close up - Extreme close up The name of each shot is in its belonging part of the video as well. Thanks to Adrián for helping me out with the video! Go check his blog:  https://chewbaccasshoots.blogspot.com/

This right here is the story board of "The Great Exam". I have put a lot of effort on it and I think I did a good job on it. I hope you like it as well!

This post contains the main idea for the plot a brief summary of it, the plot structure diagram and the script of my short movie provisionally titled: "The Great Exam". SCRIPT: “The Great Exam” by Rubén Cuenca Martínez Synopsis: ADRIAN is a regular 17 years old high school student who messes up a bit with his studying schedules and responsabilities. Throughout the film we can easily put ourselves in the skin of an overwhelmed student who fails to get good marks, just to discover that in the end it is all his fault. However, we see this in a funny way. Scene 1 ADRIAN’s bedroom, 6:00 am. A calendar with an upcoming exam on his desk is clearly seen. ADRIAN: (gets off bed and starts his morning routine). Scene 2 ADRIAN is in his kitchen. 6:00 am – 7:30 am. ADRIAN: (prepares coffee and goes back to his bedroom to start studying, note: Loop this action three times as “mental breaks”). “I wish I had had more time to prepare for this ex...

Here you can see some interesting camera movements used in filming: -          Pan                         -           Dolly in (with zoom)                         -           Dolly out (with zoom)                        

This is probably the most got-to-know rule or technique in photography because of its simplicity but also effectiveness on improving our pictures. To apply this technique, divide your frame into three parts with two lines, horizontally and vertically alike, so that you get nine equal rectangles that compose your frame. By placing the most relevant objects of your frame at the intersection of those 2x2 lines, or just along these lines, you will considerably improve the quality of your pictures. Below you can see two examples of how to apply this rule on the same frame. The difference is that in one of each pair is not applied correctly.  

The Butterfly Effect (2004) is one out of the two succesful movies for which its guionist and director, Eric Bress, is known. Starring Aston Kutcher and Amy Smart, it narrates the story of a psychology student, Evan, who suffers from a strange mental disease that causes him to black out and loose his memory from time to time. Later on he finds out that his special condition lets him travel in time by bringing old memories from his past back to his head thanks to his diaries. He uses his ‘power’ to change the past and alter the lives of his friends, although Evan will have to face up the several consequencies carried on by his actions. Envolving love, friendship and the situation of Evan himself, the plot of this movie turns out to have a really deep meaning, as well as many different interpretations which are quite interesting to read and analyze. However old this movie might be, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve to be seen. It’s a great movie and I highly recommend watching i...

Hi everyone and welcome to my new blog! Here I will be posting the artistic works I create, not only for sharing with the internet my artistic expression involving photography  and filming, but also for one of my high school subjects: Image and Sound. Hope you all like it!
