Character Archetypes

Which archetype seems easiest to write?  Which do you think seems the most difficult?  Why?  What archetype do you understand the least?  Why?  What kind of hero's do you like telling stories about?

An archetype that seems easiest to write to me is the the purpose of the mentor. "Mentors provide heroes with motivation, inspiration, guidance, training, and gifts for the journey. Their gifts often come in the form of information or gadgets that come in handy later." The mentor's like a god, a guide, a voice I feel it's easiest to write because they usually have a lot less conflict going on for them.  The one that seems most difficult is Overcoming the Threshold Guardian. You would need to come up with a good background for each guardian, and I feel its also just harder because there would have to also be a lot of time into each characters want and need. Shapeshifters seems confusing to me because I'm not sure hwta it means by (the male element in the female consciousness) and anima (the female element in the male consciousness). The kind of hero I like talking about is Batman's story because he has a lot of character depth.

Dolly vs Zoom

What is the difference between zooming and dollying? What do dollying and trucking add to the shot? While zoom is created through a static camera change in focal length.

While a zoom shot only adjusts the camera's focal length a dolly zoom moves the entire camera toward a subject.

The History of Frame Rates Pt. 2

60 hertz = 60 fields per second. It is created in a 60th of a second resulting in a full 30 frames per second. It was chosen over the air broadcasting because flashing the same frame on screen was not an option that was technologically feasible. Engineers were also more concerned about bandwidth, something they were trying to conserve with over the air broadcast. Another reason to conserve bandwidth and avoid flickering each frame would be interlaced. The introduction to color factored in 1948, the FCC (Federal Communication Communion) put a moratorium on new television broadcast licenses as it tried to figure out what to do with the newly available UHF spectrum. TV sets access died off while they tried figuring out what to do.

Horror Lighting Tutorial

They talk about their setups in this video and the main one that caught my attention was the staircase scene they created. They put up two lights the first and 150 watt then they do a light with the projector attachment inside and they put an M size steel gobo that replicates the look of a four panel window thus giving the audience the idea this is coming from somewhere natural its originating from within the scene. The second light they use is the softbox on top of it so its not barefaced and they stick the egg crate on top of it to provide some directionality in the living room we put their third and fourth case of which in this case mul richarchardson they use as much as the same in the  projector attachment to illuminate a back wall.
