Vieiwing Classmates Storyboards

-

 
I chose to view Zoe's and Chelsey's blog as a part of viewing my classmates blogs and identifiying the shots they used in their storyboards. In Zoe's storyboard I concluded that her close up shot, POV shot, and dolly shot were executed terrificly, and captured eveything that they were supposed to. Specifically her POV shot made feel like I was veiwing the school hallwas as Zoe herself. I like how she put her hans and feet in front of the camera to really perfect the feeling I am supposed to take away from the shot. Like the article, "Differnet Camera Angles Create Differnet Emotion", states; a POV shot should make you feel like "you were placed inside the subject's eye and are looking through that window with them..." and I think Zoe's POV did exactly that. After that I viewed Chelsey's storyboard. After watching all of Chelsey's shots, I summed up three shots that I think she did really well. Chelsey's over-the-shoulder, two shot, and POV were pretty much flawless. In her over-the-shoulder, Chelsey captivated the scene by using the timer setting and then turned her back and faced her cat to show an angle that we would see as over her shoulder. Just as the article "Different Camera Angles Create Different Emotions" says, the over-the-shoulder shot is supopsed to "make you feel like as if you are experiencing the scence with that subject. I think her use of the timer helped her perfect the shot. I throughly enjoyed viewing these classmates storyboards.

Film Viewing Practice Essay "Agent Carter"

  In the 2013 Marvel film “Agent Carter”, we can see ma ny different film elements  executed  in different ways.

Flashbacks depict the personal experience of a character by showing a memory of a previous event and they are often used to "resolve an enigma" later appearing in the film.  The camera cuts back and forth between Agent Carter and Steve Rodger (aka Captain America).  You can hear  sad and suspenseful music in the background, which signals something troubling is about to take place. The scene cuts f rom Agent Carter and Captain America having a heartfelt conversation, and then the music and conversation slowly  dies  out and we are cut back to p resent day. The next scene opens to a bird’s eye  view and establishing shot of the city which then cuts to the  precinct . From the  beginning  of this shot, you can tell there i...

The Study of Mise-En-Scene in "Split"

   I chose to comment on the mise-en-scene of the M. Night Shyamalan movie, “Split”.  I chose this film because I never got the chance to view it yet, but by from the preview I could tell that I can write a lot  about the mise-en-scene of it because of how good the trailer was. I also chose this film because Mrs.Henerson's interest of the director and how well produced his other movies are.  Setting: The movie has several settings, but I focused on three main settings. The "Bunker" where Kevin's victims are being kept, the therapists office, and anywhere outside the bunker and office. The bunker/underground setting was beyond detailed oriented and realistic, making the movie all the more interesting and life like. It feels like you are there yourself just because of how everything is placed, and decorated to seem so real. There is a cold and suspenseful vibe anytime the action is taking place in the bunker, and I think the use of an underground mainten...
