Winter's Bone Mise en Scene

In class, we watched Winter's Bone. I found the film to be very interesting, but I would not consider this to be a film I'd watch again. I did not like the setting nor the lighting of the film. I found the setting very boring as it was just the trees with dead leaves. I thought the darkened light hurt the film as it just made everything so much more subtle and boring. I also did not like how quiet the film was. I felt that you had to figure much out on your own just by watching without much listening. Although I did not like the film very much, these are some pretty cool shots I posted down below. The first shows much Mise en Scene using the color tone, and the set design. Here, we see clothes hanging on the line, a bike in the back, and lastly nothing but hills and the woods. The second shot has a very cool framing using a bit of symmetry as well. I think it is really cool showing the older sister, who is the tallest, to stand in the middle while the two younger siblings that are smaller are standing on the sides. On both sides, all we see are dying trees. It is overall a very cool shot that I find very interesting.

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...
