The Locker!!

 


This Locker!!

For this film, we wanted to do something interesting, but nothing crazy as it was our first film. We chose to use a school type setting, where someone was running late for class, and going to get their notes from their locker. We incorperated running as a way to really emphasize how the boy was late for class and was rushing to get there on time. I think one of the most successful parts of this film was the transition from the boy opening the locker to an inside point of view of the boy taking his stuff out of the locker. I felt that this worked really well and just made the film look overall better. The least succesful part of the project was the actual videoing because it took many tries to get it right. This was difficult to do though because we were using a real camera, as opposed to a phone like we had been using all of last year. I learned from this project that there are many different points of view where you are filming that can make the film look better or worse. For example, the inside of the locker point of view worked really well. This is a goal that I would like to set for myself this year in all of my films. 

These are exmample of the different shot types and angles we used.

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.

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...
