Fishing With Eduardo!


    When I was first thinking about what to have this film about, I wanted it to be something different, creative, and fun as it was the last film of the year. I watched a bunch of different internet videos as examples. I was debating if I should make a blog about my daily life or some sort of podcast. I was thinking about making a basketball film, but I have already done that multiple times. I was also thinking about doing a basketball podcast, which would have been a lot of fun but I thought to myself, "what is one thing I haven't made a video on all year?". I thought about making a video on teaching how to fish as it is a  recently new hobby I have shown interest in. Lately, I have been fishing with my neighbor every weekend. At first, I thought that I should be teaching fishing, but then I thought about my neighbor, Eduardo, an expert at fishing. When he was going through the steps, I was even learning new things, so this was a really good thing that he was able to help out. 

    Over the course of the year, I am very happy with how my videos have turned out and how I have learned as a student in this class. It is really interesting to see some of the developments of my films over the course of the year. I remember that at the beginning of the year I was in New York, taking pictures of things around my house. I then put those pictures into a film. I remember that the first film I made when I got to Florida was a video of my brother tying his shoes. Lastly, I finished off with a video of my neighbor fishing and catching a shoe at the end. The shoe part was actually somewhat a dedication to my grandpa, who never catches anything but shoes. 

    Overall, this year has been really fun and exciting in this class. Every single film we make, I try to set a goal for myself to be different and always continue to try new things, which is what I think I have accomplished.

Tennis Documentary

  Tennis Documentary By Dylan Grodner, Starring Nicole Dgani     Nicole and I are both very good friends and we wanted to work on a film together. Turns out, although we are very good friends, we didn't know each other's favorite hobby. It ended up taking some time to think of what we like to do and what we could make a film on. After thinking about it we chose Nicole's favorite thing to do, tennis. It really didn't take much planning besides coming up with questions because they were all things Nicole could answer on the spot which is why we didn't focus too much on a script. Although there was not much planning, there were some questions asked that even Nicole hadn't thought about. When asked about her  inspiration for tennis, she first answered "I don't know. I don't think I have one". Once she thought about it more though, she came to the conclusion that it is between playing with her friends, her father pushing her to play and try a new sp...

The Stalker

I practiced many different types of film during this assignment, some of them being cutting on action and focusing on the eight different angles. I used these types of film, because I think that they went really well with the type of film that I was doing. I think that the result came out very good because I wanted to make a creepy film, but at the same time a film where you could tell what was going on without any dialogue, which I think I accomplished. I also really liked making this film because I really felt like I was a real movie director and there were some points where I wanted to film even more and make it like a real long movie. I would next time maybe add some dialogue to make it look more like a real movie. As I was saying before, I am happy that I was able to create a film that is understandable without any dialogue, although I think it would have helped. This is the YouTube video: This is my story board: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S6KtWO_09Rgp6HaOUM_5uFZ2f7TF...

TV Shows I Have Watched Over Quarantine

Image
       Over quarantine I watched many shows and movies, but two of my favorite TV shows were The Office and All American. These are both shows that once you get into them, they are really hard to stop watching. There were even some nights that I would stay up till 2 in the morning watching these shows.       I really liked The Office because of the comedy. There was not one episode that I could not laugh, matter of fact, I could not even go five minutes without laughing! That's how funny this show is! I learned about this show through many people, I just did not both to watch until quarantine when we had nothing else to do. I found it very interesting how the setting takes place in an office because they could have made any type of plot but they chose to go a simple route, and make the setting and plot revolve around an office. The message that they are sending is just showing what happens in an ordinary office day. The visuals are pretty good bec...
