Future Film - Short film exercise for festival

 Future Film

By Dylan Grodner 



Overall, I really think this film came out to be the way we wanted. First, working as a team is always fun. It is fun because it is great to work with people but it is also great to brainstrom and have other creative minds involved in the process of making a film. In this film, as you can see in the script above, we wanted to be slightly different from other films we have made together in the past. We ended up making a film without words and very minimal description of what was going on. Our goal was for the viewer to come up with what was going on in this film. We started coming up with other different ideas to become unique compared to other films we have made. We wanted the theme to revolve around a scout watching a basketball player. We knew this film had to be something in the future and we tried to potray a highschool basketball player making it to the pros. Once we figured all of this out, we got to work. Looking at this finished film now, I feel like it came out the exact same way I pictured it beforehand. I am overall very pleased with this film and I think it is one of the best this group has worked on together this year.

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...
