No Film School

The article I read was "silent world is a breathtaking photography series that imagines the world almost uninhabited by people" this was a very interesting article. it was about these two photographers Lucie and Simon who took pictures of very busy streets and towns and edited the picture to just have one person in them so you see what the rest of the town looks like when its not busy at all. they achieved this effect by, using a serious ND filter to make everything the picture to disappear. http://nofilmschool.com/2012/04/silent-world-photography-series-lucie-simon


Discover Your Stengths

my top five strengths were 1. input 2. intellection 3. Strategic  4. Futuristic 5. Includer
Input is someone who caves information and is always wanting to know more. I fell like this strength helps in group setting by helping others that don't have this strength to help them dig to find more information, it also helps them challenge themselves.
Intellection is my second strength. Intellection means you have a talent to think and exercise your muscles in your brain. This strength can be helpful in group setting by, helping others to real think about what we could do by give them ideas of some that has an intellectual strength.
Strategic is my third strength. Strategic means a person has the ability to sort through clutter and find the best route. this strength can be helpful in group setting because if there is a lot of work to be done with a certain project I could help sort through what needs to be done and find the best way when everything needs to be done on certain time/ schedule.
Futuristic is my fourth strength. someone who is futuristic means they love to look above and see what they could be doing in the future. This strength can be helpful in group setting because I could give sense of what the "project" in would look like when everything is done and have a good vision of what I would want something to look like.
Includer is my fifth and final strength. An includer is someone who wants everyone to be apart of what they are trying to do. I feel like this is one of the most important traits to have while working in a group setting because I know from experience that no one wants to feel like an outsider or that they don't feel apart of the group. the best way this strength can be used is by talking to each person that is apart of what you are doing and make sure that have something to that contributes to what your doing in the group.

The Artist...Nature Story

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" to start off I think this quote means everything to an artist especially because all the art they create comes from what they find is beautiful and what they find in there inspiration to create. An artist has control of anything they see that is beautiful and expresses that by painting or drawing. They with always have the paintbrush or the pencil in their hands. To a filmmaker I feel like this quote is very powerful. I also feel like this means whatever the creators would want their film to look like. Weather it be visually or story telling in the film. To the person who is the director of a film what they come up with to create everything the audience sees in a film. There are many circumstances where this quote comes into play such as, what the director wants to create or how they want a certain shot to look. Also to what they fine is beauty to them in that particular moment while they’re working on a film.

The Begining

I believe that the story is like the heart of film. I also agree with Martin Scorsese. all though the I believe acting in the film is very important because that how you get a good emotional attachment but there is way more than just that. the music playing in the background as plays a big part in getting to make the scene very emotional. I totally agree with Scorsese that having beautiful cinematic shots gives way more emotion to whats happening then just the acting. I feel like having very beautiful cinematography makes everything in every scene that much more powerful no matter what genre the film is. Something that I disagree with is that Scorsese says that he doesn't care about the acting which is something I feel that is very important especially if you looking for a scene to be very emotional. its important to have a good "actor" or "actors"because if they can deliver a very good acted emotional scene and you have a beautiful cinematic shot with good music in the background then you have triple threat. verse just having beautiful shot and good music to bring out the emotionality of the scene.

Love Creates Horror

"Love creates horror" Stephen king the author of the shinning makes a really good point. I think it is really cool idea to scare people in way that they will have a some sympathy in for the character which means in this new book Im assuming that he is going to develop the characters story lines better and get to know them as people more than just someone that scares you and doesn't have any story at all.  His main  point with this book is to get the readers to really fall in love with the characters, so when something happens it ends up being more of a shock. He is wanting to make his work more mature and on an adult level to grow with readers that read this first book the shinning when they were kids. I think thats a very good and thought out transition. He is defiantly heading in the right direction with this new book.

Book to movie translation (Twilight)

For my book to movie translation, I picked to the book twilight. The movie was well enough did to help understand the main story, but obviously there are going to be scenes that will be different  from the book to movie translation because it is hard to condense a for hundred page book in to a little under a two hour film. Every person is going to have a different creation of what a book will look like in there own head, not everyone is going to agree with what is brought to life in the film because every pictures something different while reading a book. so going of that there were a couple of scenes in the movie that I did picture they would look like and some that didn't make it into the movie at all. an example of a good scene that pleased me would be, this first scene which is intruding the character on how to feels about death. "I'd never given much thought to how I would die -- though I'd had reason enough in
the last few months -- but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. I really like this because it shows the whole kind of tone of the series in what helps drive the story forward.
