Reflection 011514 { F i l m S t u d i e s }

Camera angles can do many things to help hint on what is going to happen next in a film. It could show a person's point of view, or show what the person doesn't know is happening. And me as the viewer, only knows what's happening. Camera angles can show many things that is going to happen and you have to pay close attention to be able to have more understanding of what is happening along with the background music. I think there is also a big part to where the character is facing the camera. Or rather, which angle the camera is facing towards the character. As in where the light is shining at the character or how dark the shadows are in a scene. Film techniques could make a big difference in a film with it's colors and it's effects. A lot of films these days have a lot of cg because most of the things in the films are unrealistic and fictional.

Warm Up 010214 { F i l m S t u d i e s }

I watched "Miss Rose" the Taiwanese drama. I also watched the animes "Daily Lives of High School Boys", and "Sword Art Online". Miss Rose is about a secretary who makes a bet with a fortune teller, if she doesn't get married in a year then she will pay the fortune teller 1 million. But if she does get married then the fortune teller will have to strip pole dance at her wedding. Daily Lives of High School Boys is exactly what it says, high school boys who meets girls and do weird stuff. Sword Art Online is about a game in where everyone must survive, and if they die in the game they will die in real life. In order to beat the game they all must beat all 99 levels to get to the final boss in the last level. So far, they're all really good animes and dramas. In my opinion, I think the most memorable movie of 2013 was Catching Fire. Because a lot of people really liked watching the first Hunger Games movie and well, Jennifer Lawrence is gaining a lot of love from fans. So of course the movie was really anticipated and there were many people that went to watch it when it came out. Even though it really came out near the end of the year already.
