  • is one of the most enjoyed hobbies of every Filipino. This is evident in the millions of photos that are posted in the different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
    Photography
  • In this field, some gifted Filipino photographers are known because of their remarkable shots, such as Mr. George Tapan.

    Characteristics of Philippine Photography
  • it is the portion of the frame that is closest to the camera. The foreground space in an image can be utilized to draw attention to a subject located further into the frame, for example with leading lines, or it can be used to frame the subject.
    Foreground
  • a sharp photograph shows intent and skill. There are times that some parts of an image are blurry or vague but can be enhanced with the use of neutral density filters.
    Sharpness
  • sometimes all photographs need to be interesting. In order to do this. There should be a change of perspective. A shot taken from a few inches from the ground or under the subject, something which is not usually seen can produce great images

    perspective
  • not under or over exposed is too obvious. A photographer knows how to really work with light which can help create some truly stunning images. Some rules are meant to be broken and lighting is one of them
    Good lightning
  • it is the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. It can play tricks in our brain and when used properly in photography, it creates interesting photographs. Photographs of architecture often use symmetry.
    symmetry
  • it gives depth to two-dimensional images or just interesting composition builders.
    shadows
  • is the visual ratio of different tones in an image. This difference is what creates the textures, highlights, shadows, colors and clarity in a photograph.
    contrast
  • Candid shots stand out. It is better to see photos with the subject who isn’t reacting to the camera but instead, living their life.
    Human interest
  • it is the ability to draw the viewer’s attention away from anything distracting in the image and lead them right to the main subject
    Isolation
  • One highly recognized film director of the country is Catalino “Lino” Ortiz Brocka, a multi-awarded director who became the Philippine National Artist for films in 1997,He is a director for film and broadcast arts who promoted the term “freedom of expression” in the Philippine Constitution

    Basic Film Elements
  • is a way to compose all scene in a film and establish the essence of film. There are five elements of film which is narrative, cinematography, sound, miseen-scene and editing. These elements help determine the totality of the film and a way to judge them.
    Basic Elements In Film
  • it is similar to the plot of the movie. It is about what the movie is, the character and the world.
    narrative
  • it is basically ‘writing in movement’. It is the way the film was framed, toned, and colored in its own way of photography.

    cinematography
  • it is the most powerful aspects in film that has three components to it. Sound in film has sound effects, dialogue, and music.
    sound
  • help shapes the feeling and the perception of a scene in a film to the audience.
    music
  • these are the verbal conversation of the characters a movie. It must be clear and audible to clearly transport the message of the film to the audience.
    Dialogue
  • It is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of dialogue or music. The term often refers to a process applied to a recording, without necessarily referring to the recording itself
    sound effect
  • it is practically the things that appear in the film’s frame. It is a catch-all for everything that contributes to the visual presentation and overall “look” of a production. When translated from French, it means “placing on stage.”
    Mise-en-scene
  • it is the most important skill in film making. The film editor works hard to put the whole movie together from all the scene. The editor is also responsible for cuts and being made in the film- scenes that audiences don’t see.
    editing
  • is the process of creating the illusion of motion and shape change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. Animation can be seen in your favorite TV commercials, music, movies or even videos. The following are the techniques and style in creating an animation.
    Animation
  • involved animators drawing by hand for each and every frame. If you love the feel of pencils on a paper, then the traditional approach is very fascinating. Traditional animation is creating the drawings one by one on the frame. 2D animation involves creating numerous drawings then feeding into a plastic cell, hand painting them and create the animated sequence on a painted background image.
    traditional animation
  • It is called Vector Animation. It is creating animations in the 2 dimensional space with the help of digital technologies. You don’t need to create digital models; you just need to draw the frames.

    Digital 2D Animation
  • it is making the unreal characters into a realistic one. Digital 3d animation characters are much faster to create and they are quite popular in the movie making industry.

    Digital 3D Animation
  • is done by capturing a photo of an object, then moving it just a little bit to take another photo. This process is similar to traditional animation, but it uses real life objects instead of drawings to create an illusion of movement
    Stop Motion Animation
  • Still considered as a form of animation, motion graphics is nothing alike the other types of animations as it is not character or story driven. It’s simply the art of moving graphic elements such as texts or shapes. Common examples include animated logos, film opening titles, explainer videos, and app advertisements.
    Motion Graphics
  • is the basis of all the other elements involved in the production process and without it, there’s no end result. As such, developing a script is the first task every Filipino creator should do.
    Story
  • is the process of breaking down the script into scenes and drawing it into panels similar to a graphic novel. It allows the director to envision the end look of the animation and lets him make appropriate creative decisions with other people involved in the production.
    Storyboarding
  • After the storyboards are done, they are forwarded to the editorial team who will create an animatic based on the drawn panels. This animatic presents the beats of the story and is comprised of storyboard images, scratch dialogues, and even temporary music and sound effects as necessary.
    Editorial
  • It is the stage where Filipino concept artists create the final look of the animation. This includes the design elements found in characters, props, backgrounds, and color palettes. Overall, it gives the whole team a clear visual guide to follow during production.
    Visual Development
  • At this stage, animators review the script and storyboard to scale characters and environments in three-dimensional space through the computer. This also serves as a blueprint of the final product which allows the client to make changes before they even start to film.

    PRE-PRODUCTION
  • commonly used in 3D animation, the modeling process produces a digital object capable of being fully animated. It’s an essential stage in production as it usually involves the sculptures of characters, sets, and props
    modelling
  • this is the phase where surface artists use colors, textures, and shades to make the various elements of an animated film pop out. Just take the Disney film Ratatouille as an example. Part of the reason why the ratatouille dish looks appetizing is due to the surfacing team’s effort
    Surfacing
  • it gives animated characters the ability to move their faces and bodies per the requirements of the script. Without it, they won’t be able to hold themselves up and move around.
    rigging
  • involves the conceptualization of environments based on the story of the animated film. Layout artists are tasked to design the stage where the animation of the characters takes place. On the other hand, set dressing is the preparation of the appropriate props and furniture required in the scene. The set dresser’s main job is to establish and maintain the continuity of these items in between sequences and shots
    Layout and set dressing
  • character animators are tasked to bring the characters to life by using the rig made by the rigging department. In addition, they also need to carefully think about the movements and expressions of the characters in order to effectively tell a story.
