How to Be a Superhero Movie Script

How to be a Superhero!

INTRO: So you’ve decided to be a superhero? Slow down, INSERT NAME. First, you need to go through all the steps to become true superhero.

Can you fly? Do you have super strength? Can you smell things from super far away? Do you have money? No? Well, we will think of something for you.

PART 1:

Power to read your own mind, the power to teleport to the exact location you are standing in, the power to procrastinate, the ability to turn in a brick (once) for forever, the power to be the best bartender ever and make drinks disappear really fast, the power to make peoples’ ears bleed from your ukulele power to be invisible in the dark.

How to get your your super power: jumper cables, fork in outlet make sure it is plastic, radioactive spider

OFFICIAL SUPERPOWER: Playing the ukulele so bad, it’s good

PART 2:

So once you’ve selected a power, it is time to choose your name. INSERT NAME and weapon

PART 3:

It is time to get fit if you want to actually be a superhero. Local spin classes might be full, so you may have to work out on your own. Exercising (Eye of the Tiger song playing in the background)

PART 4:

Now that you are fit, it is time to SUIT UP. (Cape idea, underwear over suit, etc.)

PART 5:

So what do you eat? (Show the unhealthy food). No no no. You need to #JUICIFY. (Montage of you juicing and eating healthy).

PART 6:

Transportation: Your first option is a car, but that isn’t very eco-friendly if you are trying to save the world. Luckily you have: public transportation (the bus), bike, skate board, laundry cart, etc.

Screw it. Stick with the car.

PART 7:

Concealing the identity:

If you are actually a superhero, you need a second job to conceal who you really are. The perfect job? (Uber driver). Saving one person at a time: AKA Evana is drunk and needs help.

PART 8:

Missions: Prioritizing your missions. (Villain is holding Evana captive somewhere). The bigger problem is the pickle jar. Mike walks past Evana and opens the pickle jar with your ukulele powers. NEED: Duck tape, pickle jar/beer bottle, and fishing wire

Once you’ve mastered all of these, you have officially become a true Superhero.

PART 9:

Have a final shot of superhero doing superhero things.

Our Movie-My part

Here is my part of our imovie project-How to be a Superhero

Movie demo

Enhancing Camero Boy

I would add more text to it, because I like type.
I would also add in some moving illustration or animations that made the story seem kind of whimsical.
I wish that there was a shot of the car moving or if I were to make the film, I would want a shot of the car actually driving, maybe in stop motion.

Movie Topic

I would make something humourous, I like satire and I'm pretty sarcastic so that would probably impact how the movie ended up. It would probably be very dry humoured.

Some ideas I had were:
-Something funny about my job, I often find humour in my work. Something like bad clients.
-Art school humour

Creative Ethics

It is important to consider ethics when doing creative work. You have to consider the rights of others.

I think that ethics are both innate and socialized. I think that we are born with a basic sense of right and wrong and as we grow up, we are socialized to be a certain way.

I wonder about the terms and conditions that come up on phones, and how they are designed so that you don't want to read them. It seems wrong to discourage people from reading them.

Camels

Here's my camel animation

Spider Movie

Today we learned about creating movie symbols, which will be helpful when I animate my walking characters for our animation

Cat Soup

1.What is the animation about?
It is about a cat and his sister who try to find their way back home. Something is wrong with the sister, since she is not very in the moment. He had to rescue her from this kidnapper, who seems to have stolen part of her soul. In order to bring her back, he has to get her a flower.

2. Name 3 Creative Strategies you can pull from the film
-Irony; Animals are watching other animals be tortured, or are hurting other animals
-No voiceovers; You have to pay attention to the actual animations
-Colour; The sister's eyes are this hazy colour when she isn't all there, but they turn black when she gets the flower and comes back to reality.

3. Your general Reactions to the film
I liked it, but parts of it were kind of strange, like when they got splattered with blood. I am trying to interpret the metaphors, because surrealist films are filled with hidden meanings. I would watch it again and try to get into the metaphors. I thought that the journey with the cat and the sister was interesting.

Our Storyboard

There can only be one

Today we learned about animating lines and the shape tween tool.

Spiderman animation

Here is my spiderman animation! We learned how to animate a photo

Flying Bird

Today we learned how to use the bone tool, which is great for motion with characters.

Using inspiration in art making

I definitely use visual mimicry and metaphor in my work as a designer. I like to look at Behance and pinterest to get inspiration for my graphic design projects, as well as to learn new techniques. I use metaphor as well. For example, I recently designed a poster for an event called the Tunnel of Oppression. I used metaphor to symbolize how different systems all come together to form oppression. The various systems all came together in a cloud.

New project- animation

I think that the animation project is going to be interesting. For this project, I wanted to tell a funny story. I thought about examples from my job and my childhood.

After working with my project partner, Seongmin, we condensed our ideas.



We decided that we want to do a funny story around childhood, like for example, the pranks that I played on my brother when I was a kid. Now we just have to select the story we want to do, and how we want to animate it.

Postcard project

The home is generally thought of as a safe place, where we go to get away from the stress and negativity we may face in our lives. 

But what happens when that safety is disrupted? How do we react when the domestic space is turned into something unfamiliar or even uncomfortable?

The answers to these questions may not come right away, but after seeing the home in unfamiliar contexts, it allows us to think critically about the objects we place in the home and how we interact with them. Constructions from the world exist in our homes.

The postcards take different approaches to answering the questions posed. For the first , the goal was to make the familiar strange. I used a familiar image of my life; my left wall in my apartment. The map has become so familiar to me centered on that wall. I reversed them, putting the map on the large wall space and the blank wall space in the middle where the map is supposed to be. I added some bright sunglasses on top. The reversal creates a tension because it feels like the map is looking at you, instead of you looking at the map.

The second postcard I call “The Eternal Wall”. Inspired by Tom Bamberger, it is focused on repetition. On one side of the room you see a fairly normal scene, with a wall and a couch. There are string lights above, and instead of ending, the lights just continue for a long time along a blank wall. It is confusing and unbalanced to a viewer, because the rest of the scene is not repeated. The social norms of what a home is supposed to look like is challenged. In addition, most of the time you see lights like that on the outside of homes, not on the inside. 

The third postcard is about transformation; giving new perspective to what is usually taken for granted. In this postcard I call “The Spectators”, The walls of my building are lined with pointed sunglasses, which stare at you from the wall. There are also knives that are suspended from the ceiling, seeming almost ready to drop on an unsuspecting passerby. This is an abnormal scenario for the viewer, because you can imagine yourself being watched by the eyes and having to dodge falling knives. I walk out that hallway every day without feeling watched or that I am in immediate danger, so this postcard gave me opportunity to make a safe space tense. 

The fourth postcard is inspired by one of my favorite artists, Jenny Holzer. It’s is more conceptual; focused on a sink with makeup brushes thrown around. The text, which is partially visible in some areas, reads; “who really paints my face each morning”. This refers to the action of applying cosmetics, but it also asks about societal norms, specifically for women. Do I have free will in applying makeup? Or do I put it on because I have been socialized to behave that way? This is an example of an outside construct manifesting in the home, even though I don’t think about it often. 

All four postcards aim at distorting our perceptions of the home. Some use physical tension, while others use conceptual tension. Either way, tension allows us to look into our spaces and see how our society exists in them and in us.

Here is the back of the postcard

3D in photoshop

Today we learned how to create 3D images in photoshop. It was very interesting, because I did not know how to do it before. I made this text with the 3D mesh tool.

Type mask demo

Here is the demo for our type mask project. It says "Watch for Snakes"

Wallas's Stages of Creativity

For my postcards, I started by visualizing possible concepts and solutions that I could work with while taking pictures. That way I would already have a head start on making the postcards. All the images aren't going to be used, and that is partially because not all the concepts are viable. Illumination is a big part of my creative process because it is easier for me to solve a problem when I have a goal in mind.

Colour Adjustments

Today we learned about the history brush and filters in photoshop. We also learned how to create new adjustment layers on top of images. That was great because now I can add adjustments and just delete them if I don't want them anymore.

In opposite world the apples eat the cows...

Today I learned how to use the patch tool, more about the content aware tool, how to create a mask on top of an image, and how to make convincing shadows. The material about patch and content aware was very helpful and I will definitely use it again in the future. If I were doing a project I would be careful that it still looked believable, but it is still a useful tool.

Pattern making and placing

Here is the pattern that I made and applied!
Made in class on January 21, 2016

I learned how to use paint more effectively and how to make a pattern and how to mask the pattern over another image.

Mindmup for 1st assignment

Today we were asked to define their place (see previous images).

I chose my apartment. I am interested to see how social constructions, especially those around gender, manifest in homes. We view the home as a safe space, so it is hard to picture how negative constructions come into the space we view as safe and secure.

My images for the first project

I used images taken from my student apartment. My images focus around ideas of diversity, security, and feminism. I want to explore how social constructions manifest in private spaces like the home.

I happened to be in my apartment doing homework and I started taking images of random things, then I started questioning what significance these objects had for me. Many of my images related to the ideas of being secure in a space, relating to the space culturally, and social constructions.
