Week 3

The two student blogs that I reviewed were Alicia Contreras-Sagredo and Michael Poling.  With Michael's blog, his cameo shot was intriguing and it really made me think. His reaction shot was great and funny. The dolly shot was well put together and puts a very dark and scary scene and the extreme long shot made me a great distance from the subject. In Alicia's blog, the point of view shot made me feel as if I was having the conversation, as well as the two shot, it was like I was also in the conversation. The pan shot and the establishing shot made me feel at ease and tranquil as it showed the scene.

Voice Over this sound effect with simultaneity where I used a scaring voice over to symbolize a scary scene. Direct sound the sound that was playing before suggested the passing of time stayed the same.

In these  scenes , Lester is not very happy with his job,  to  him, it is like a prison.   In  the first shot, Lester is meeting with Brad, his company's new efficiency expert. Brad is telling him that his work is not up to standard and that his job is at risk. What's interesting here is how differently the two men are presented. On the topic of  lighting,  its  showcased as low  key, the  room itself is ugly,  un decorated  and very dull and grey. Lester is first seen with an Offscreen space when talking to Brad, outside of the frame. Brad is shown in the next  scene, as blocking,  occupying ...
