Here is a little side note on current events. It's gonna be Phils Yanks. Sorry all you Anaheim fans out there, this just isn't your year. Yanks are gonna come out on top, whether it be game four tomorrow or game five back at the new stadium. I don't see a repeat of 2004's ALCS meltdown in which the Red Sox came back after losing the first three to win four strait and win the pennant.
The embedded movie posted above is a film that serves the same purpose as our film. It was to come up with a dramatic question and then document random people's answers. Enjoy
Our Group has decided to work with the idea of ones future goals and aspirations.
We look to deal with all age groups as we believe that this will give us a wide range of answers. we hope to capture average peoples hopes for the future and in doing so be able to access and view a piece of their interior personality. The project is daunting in that we need to achieve some level of style instead of just presenting raw footage and expecting the viewers to elevate and find meaning in the video. It is our jobs as the directors, producers and editors to make our audience see the artistic nature of this dramatic question. in the end i hope our video is able to convey the fact that all of us have dreams and lofty expectations of our future no matter the age and situation. The video will be posted here once it is complete.
The book The Conversations provides insight to the often invisible world of movie editing. the book surrounds Walter Munich and several conversations with Michael Ondaatje, author of "The English Patient". Munich's resume is very impressive he has worked on such films as very impressive - "Apocalypse Now", all three parts of "The Godfather", "American Graffiti" just to name a few. He seems to have an uncanny ability to find the best possible flow for a movie and conform the scenes to the flow. I personally think the two of them are extremely artistically gifted. They have each been a part of oscar winning films. Their interactions really provided an interesting take on cinema. The most significant realization I came away with after reading this text was the importance of their craft to movie making. They essentially dictate how the viewer perceives the actors and story. I feel as though an actor is only as good as the editor presents him to be. He stated that he does not watch any other movies while in the editing process. I like the idea of him not wanting anything to interfere with his train of thought.
