Hey followers. Sorry I have not updated my Blog in a wile. I
was working on a film in New York and Jersey.
So today I watched a Ted.com
Speech from J.J. Abrams called The Mystery Box. Let me tell you, Abrams speech
made me amped about writing a movie again.
When I write screenplays, I always think about the lighting for the
feel and the mood I want my audience to experience. I want to make sure the
viewer is getting the feeling I did while I was writing the script. Abrams has
a mystery box of magic tricks he bought for 15 dollars as a boy but never
opened the box, and uses that saying mystery is the catalyst for potential. Which he goes on to say his laptop is a mystery box in a way. 
Having a
white piece of paper or having a laptop is infinite potential for screenplays.
I would like to translate that to, once the screenplay is done and we are on
set, how can I use the tools of lighting to make the viewer feel what I felt? Having
a dark sound stage you can do anything, make it look like any time of day, or
make you feel like you’re in space, or the deepest oceans. How as a film maker
can I do something people never saw or make it feel there in a middle of a war
zone that has not been tried before? What new technology or computer programs
do I have at my fingertips to make the lighting even better?
J.J Abrams
has a branding behind all his stories, it’s all about mystery or even if his
scripts are not mystery, he uses old technology to make you believe that you
are seeing something your not. So lets make mystery with are lighting!
