Hey bloggers,
If I'm being honest, I have never been the BIGGEST movie watcher. Movies bring unforgettable memories, and being able to really examine, in depth, on how movies are made is EXTREMELY intriguing. Now that I have learned buckets of information during this class, I am starting to appreciate/observe the slight tweaks in movies that can be the determining factor in whether a movie does well at the box office or not. Depending on the movie, I have always walked out the movie theater feeling different than when I first walked in.
Seeing how the lighting effects the reader has been fascinating to learn about. Whether the lights are dark or bright, it will always convey a certain, indescribable feeling. Examining the directors writing has been so incredible to watch. Seeing all the minuscule details that can unveil multiple messages shows how intelligent movie writers are, and their attention to detail is second to none. Although barely noticeable at times, certain sounds can bring scenes to life. Having that slight leaf movement in the background during a horror movie brings the audience to the edge of their seat as they restlessly wait to see what happens to a character. All these sounds that may seem irrelevant can make scene 10x better than they already are.
Directors can really compress someones whole life into 2 to 3 hours. Incredible, right? Their constant creativity is what makes them so unique, as they search for ways to improve the audiences viewing experience. A slight movement of the camera can put the audience on the tip of their toes, eager to see what happens next. Camera movement can go into a characters life from their eyes, as we observe the fine line between a frantic or decompressed character. This class has made me appreciate movies more than I would have ever thought, and I can not wait to continue to learn about the ins and outs of filmmaking.
