My Individual Goals

I really would like to allow people to gain new knowledge of a subject if they only had one view o f situations and subjects. I'm not saying that i am able to see every side of any situation, but i feel i am very close. I also would like to create beautiful imagery to engage an audience and magnify their experience through vision. I would like the actions and expressions of a character to speak louder than dialogue. I really would like my audience to get lost in the story line and find themselves really wondering after about new crazy ideas of "what if?"

Movie Review

The movie that had a big influence on my life was 1998's movie, "Murder of Crows," starring Cuba Gooding Jr. This movie intrigued me because it had a factor and element of surprise. It kept the audience to the edge of their seat because of the fact that Cuba was accused of a crime he didn't commit and the audience knew that he didn't. This story line inspired me to write my very own book in 7th grade. I like how every prop in the movie was very convincing to bring the movie to a convincing point. If the makeup didnt work for a certain character then the plot would have been ruined. The movie also had a balance of dialogue and action. This movie is very amazing and it blew my mind!

Digital Cinema First Assignment

During this first assignment i really had to think hard back in my memory banks and remind myself of all the significant things that has happened in my life. This was a great exercise and i really did channel some stories that I had simply forgot about. It brought back good memories for me. I didn't find these questions difficult because in a way I have had these answers stored in my brain waiting to be released. Hopefully I will be ready to orally present these thoughts. At my first try of reciting my speech i did horrible which just made me realize that though these are my thoughts its another task to project them verbally.
          I really loved the film selection because each film had some strange element to offer. The first film selection was very odd and surrealistic which captured my attention. The insert of the film next on the list had a very cinematic smooth feel to it. The third film insert, 2046, had a very interesting story. American beauty had a bright comedic feel to it and i love comedies.
          When watching the tutorials I realized how interesting this media is! It amazed me to actually understand the techniques that are used to make a film look like a film. I also realized that none of the information left my mind either. I have new information and hopefully it won't go anywhere.
