Agenda:

Agenda:
You are working on your planning, your filming or your editing. Please be ready to answer these questions when asked.

What is your goal today?
Reshooting our film which will hopefully be better
Do you have your shot list and script?
Yes
Do you have necessary props?
Not sure
What do you need to remember for tomorrow (ie continuity)?
have our film done
Does everyone have a job and know what they need to do?
Yes
REFLECT: What do you need to do for tomorrow? 
Do some editing to make the movie better and have the complete version done by then.

On your blog: Why is the dialogue from the movie you are working on effective? Is there anything you could cut or would reshoot given the opportunity? Do you have subtext? Could you? Where?

The dialogue for the movie we are working on is effective and short and I don't think theres any changes needed to be done I like it the way it is. we already got are shots but will be reshooting it because we had some change of plans. we will also be using subtext to extend the scene summary.

Film Studies: Opening Activity - explain you movie in one sentence. Ex "A billionaire weapons inventor dons an indestructible, high tech suit of armour to fight terrorists (iron man).

A safety video about a guy hanging out with friends and gets to an accident after he goes to work, the video tells you about being safe so that you won't get into an accident...

I think its Possible to do it but it will take time and patient and the right equipment (if we have them that is) and a lot of editing and work.

Watch this video that won the Lamb 2011 award for feature reporting, then respond to "Good writing is as much about what you choose to write as it is about what you don't write," What are the power visuals of this story in your opinion?

The visuals that caught my attention is how they never said anything to what was going on and was just straightforward to the point and let the the speakers tell us to whats going on and what its obviously going to be about. Powerful pointers that I notice is when the father and mother said that they will just spend the remaining time  jacob has and when they said that I thought it was really powerful same goes with the christmas song near the end and when they close up the mother kissing jacob in the forehead in the end that was really powerfull

What I like about this director:

What are 3 other works by this director? 

Super8, Catch Me If you Can, Indiana Jones Series

2 Genres the director works in:

- Sci-Fi

- Adventure

- and Many more.

Did you get that when you watched the video for the first time? Can you think of other examples that work with this theme concept? List some other themes.

Theme list that could be use:

- Civilization vs Dinosaurs

- Humans vs Savagery.

What does this poster tell you about the movie? Think of 5 points.

1. the title "Jurassic Park" tells me that the movie is obviously gonna be about Dinosaurs
2.  the actors thats gonna be in the movie.
3. the movie is gonna be an action & adventure type of genre
4. made by steven Spielberg one of the greatest movie directors of all time!
5. that its gonna be great, the poster is plain and simple but appealing.

suggest that "What's at Stake" makes or breaks it for the viewers. You need to show viewers early and clearly what the stakes are - what the protagonist values in their ordinary world and what will be lost if the antagonist prevails. The protagonists effort to retain the positives of their world while fending off the negative situation provide the central tension to the movie.

Albertas Education and reputation is at Stake because there are people out there who doesn't appreciate the thought of it and will always criticize though this is natural because even though alberta's schools has its great side it also has it negative side and I'm sure this goes as well to every region/schools out there.

Have you seen any of these movies? What did you like/not like? Is there a movie you would like to see?

movies I've seen from this article
-Kick Ass: is probably one of my favourite movie out there, the characters weren't boring and great action pack movie though I wouldn't recommend it to all if you have issues because the movie had some
inappropriate  language and also had a little bit of sexual content that might be an issue to some people but overall in my opinion the movie, it was great and I don't really have anything bad to say.

-Inception: This movie blows my mind, really great movie and a must watch to the people who haven't seen the movie yet, its one of the most honest film I've ever seen in awhile, In my opinion a master piece. Though following up the movie while watching might be complicated to some people but this movie u gotta pay attention to real appreciate it.

-Scott Pilgrims vs the world: good movie and was fun to watch and the comedy action style really gets to you, the movie is re watch for many years to come.

In Shawshank was Andy a perfect protagonist or was he flawed? Why? Give an example. Was he interesting?

I didn't really see much of the movie so I don't really know but I'd say he's pretty good as protagonist but not perfect because the characters in the movie, including him was really boring, it made me want see whats gonna happen next but I wouldn't really re watch the movie again because it just doesn't feel chill to watch.

That they both have similar views, vision of how the things were going to be the same because they both pretty much have the same idea.

What would be a better scene than having one character tell another that when they broke up with their girlfriend they fell of the wagon?

Maybe a shot at the bar of the character drinking depress looking at a photo on his wallet and starts wrecking everything for he cannot control the emotion that he is feeling, then he gets kick out, it starts raining and then the sad depressing music starts to kick in.

- old vibe sepia I think?

write five lines summarizing what you learned

After watching this video I learned stuff that I did not know, and that is OLD PEEPS making stuff, pretty cool.. :)

My Personal To Do List:

My to do list is being a  Lead Extra and, help out with the soundtrack editing for the film,
Camera man.

In the future if you have a child or doesn't have one yet till later on how do you hope schools will use media communication differently when your children are in school?

I hope that the school will use media communication in a much better way in the future because in the future I'm pretty sure schools won't be using tables anymore and that we will have high tech technologies, every students will be using some sort of futuristic stuff for schooling and this will make my child and everyone else's kids to learn easier.

What genre do you think the film is going to be? What stylistic choices lead you to believe that?

From what I  can see the movie is probably gonna be a drama type of crime because u can tell by the tone of their voice how they act its all sad , the setting of the movie and also because of sound choice that was used in the trailer.

Sleepless in Seattle is a love story but these scenes have been recut as a horror. What techniques did you notice being used to manipulate the audiences emotions? Did it work?

The techniques i notice in this remade trailer is that the use of dark lighting, quick flashes, really deep mood horror type of music, and changing the it to manipulate the audience worked because i thought it was a horror movie personally, this was well remade.

Think about a time you were totally absorbed in you school work. When you felt the "flow". Now think about a time you struggled to find the "flow" or failed at absorbing any information.

Hmm the time when I was totally absorb with and kickin it with the flow would be during my entire year from grade 10-12 dance class it was hype and Multimedia 10 during my grade 10 is also one of my classes that made me feel the flow cause I was loving the Projects that we had to do. I'll make it short I always struggle finding the flow when its comes to my academic classes but I still survive the year and move on.

Who Are Some People You Respect And How Do You Think They Act When Things Don’t Go Exactly The Way They Want?

One of the people I respect is Eminem, a famous rapper because
despite of him being a white person, NO Racial, He has skills =) Very controversial to boot. 
As far as I can tell the way he acts when things doesn't go his way is that he just rhyme it out through his songs and some or most of his songs are very deep. Eminem's BIO A link to his biography.

My Film Anaylysis

The Movie I choose is a movie called IP man.


1. The plot synopsis of this movie is a semi biographical martial arts film very loosely base on the like of the Yip Man, a grand-master of Wing Chun and also the person who thought martial arts to the famous legendary Bruce Lee. The movie focus on during the time when Ip's Man was still alive and took place at the city of Foshan in China During the Second Shino-Japanese War, what happens in the end of the film is that has Japan invaded Foshan and since Ip man is the most respected in the city that he lives in the Japanese general has respected his kung-fu  and have ask Ip man that he will spare his life and his people if you teach the Japanese soldiers his Wing Chun, but Ip man refused, therefore the General had challenge him to a duel, Ip Man was shot in the end after he had beaten the General but was expecting it to happen, he escaped with his family and survived which continues to Ip Man 2. In my opinion the best part of the movie is when he fought 10 guys like it was nothing heres an awesome footage :D

2. I believe that the message that the movie is trying to portray behind the production of this film is the pride of kung-fu and Ip mans personal experience during his days. The main purpose of  the story is about the life of the grand-master of Wing Chun Yip man of how he started and the struggle that he went through to make Wing Chun a worldwide well known kung-fu. It speaks to the human experience because Ip man had his pride and dignity to the world of kung-fu and his culture, he also did not give up himself and tried to protect  his people during the invasion of the Japanese Army.


3. One thing that I hope to use later on from this film as a filmmaker (not really a filmmaker, a beginner :P) the use of  stunts, gonna try to make it not dangerous. Don't know much about the shooting style, like lighting and use of color, but since this is base on the old days I will be planning to shoot this film with an old vibe to it and try to make the setting feel obsolete and worn out and for the music, I will probably use the soundtracks that was used for the movie Ip man.
