Watching Fascination Projects

 The week started off with us not having class on Monday. This was probably good for the people that needed to continue to finish up on their projects. It was nice to be able to not have to worry about it because my group was the first to present last week. Since we did not have class, I was able to spend Halloween with my family. It was nice and I cannot wait to see everyone's projects as they present them. 

In Wednesday's class, we were able to view 2 groups' fascination projects. I loved being able to see how much time and hardwork that my classmates really put into making their projects perfect. Another aspect I loved was how involved all the people were in their projects, by them all acting in their films. It was interesting to go from just my group's genre of our film, to seeing the different genres of the other groups' films that my classmates created. Both groups that went today did a great job and each of them had different aspects about their films that I thought were great. I liked how the first group shot their project through the glass, it really added a lot to their film. The second group's project made me laugh and I thought it was a clever concept. 

During Friday's class, we were able to view 3 different groups' films. It was exciting for me because they had 3 very different genres, so it was fun to watch all three. The first group did a horror film, and they did a good job with it because it felt like such a real horror film to me when I was watching it. I liked the effects that they used in their film, such as the fake blood, and the dark shadow staring at her causing her not to sleep. Then the second group went, and they did an avant garde piece. I thought their piece was great as well. It was interesting for me because I did not know what direction they were going to do with avant garde, but I liked how they did the different perspectives of different things. Our third group went, they also did good. Their film was funny and I had a few laughs along the way. My favorite part of their project was the different special effects that they edited into their project. Overall, I think everyone did a great job and I cannot wait to see what we watch next in class.

Movies Over Time

The first film we watched was Dr. Caligari, which is a very old film. It has a little bit of dialogue, and has some color in it. Something that I found interesting about this very old movie was that it was a completely silent film. I think the music choices they picked were interesting because they were like a different type of jazz music that I had never heard before, so it was cool to hear something new. Dr. Caligari is the oldest film I have ever watched, so it was very crazy to me just to see how movies used to be filmed back then. The next film that we watched was about Snowy, the turtle. I thought it was a cute little film and it made me laugh a few times. I thought it was cool how Snowy has been alive for 25 years and remains alive today. I did think that they got some great shots of Snowy in the film, especially when he was outside in the grass. Another thing I thought was great was that they went to see the turtle expert, and she gave them some tips to help with Snowy and I be...

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Week 5

 This week in film class, we watch Wes Anderson's, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I thought it was a different start to a film because it started with them in the theatre viewing the first part of their documentary. I thought the movie was not bad, and it was cool to see his style as a director because I have never seen a Wes Anderson film before. I feel like after watching this film, you can get an idea of what type of style he uses in his films. Something that I think is cool that Wes Anderson incorporated into this film was his different uses of "Mise en Scene" techniques throughout every shot in his movie. One of the ways that "Mise en Scene" was incorporated into this film is through the very limited colors he choose to use. By using these same color patterns throughout each frame in the movie, it helped him tie  together both the plot and the different characters. I liked how Anderson wanted to create a strong plot line with his characters by creating...

Final Blog Post

 My first film that I really liked that we watched in class this semester was Rear Window. I liked this film because of the mysterious vibe that it created. Something that I still was amazed by with this particular film was the use of the window because it created a different perspective to the characters' lives. This is a typically not a film that I would watch but I am glad I did because I really did enjoy watching it in class. The second film that I thought was good was Get Out. I had never seen it before, so I was excited to see it when I heard it was more of a horror film. I thought that Jordan Peele did such an amazing job creating that horror with his music choices, and his twists and turns throughout the course of the film. I will definitely have to explore more Jordan Peele movies because of how much I liked the style of this film. Something that I discovered about myself is when I used to watch films, I only had my interpretation of what a film was about but hearing my ot...
