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.

What connotations do the images carry?     The images carry a connotation of a very quiet and lonely environment where there's not that much action. How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?   The genre is reinforced through the great symbolic use of a circus-like music to make the scene of a plainly viewed community to give more light to the comedic meaning in the plot o...

Preparing to Film

To prepare for my film opening these are the elements I have started and thought about. Actors: In this opening, I will be the only actor.

Locations: All scenes will be shot at my house. Dates and Times; There's no set date or time, however, they may change throughout the opening.  Scripts: So far there is no written script because there will be no actual speaking involved. Film equipment: To film my opening I will be using a standard camera.
