About Me
- MrsSchmidt
- I wouldn't call myself an expert at film history, but I've always had an interest in it. Years ago, I took my first film analysis class and it changed the way I thought about movies when I watched them. It opened my mind and broadened my perspective in a way that made movie watching so much more enjoyable. Now when I watch movies I'm able to look beyond the surface story and really dig into the heart of the film maker's message. I notice things like color and camera angles and it makes me feel like I know more about the movie than the average Joe. The whole movie experience has changed for me and I hope that this class opens the same doors for you as well.

ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting that you have your classes read two of your favorite books. In this class I hope to learn many things about filming styles. What I want to learn about the most is video and audio effects.

Viewing your profile, I found it very interesting that you like to paint and are interested in photography because I am and maybe some other classmates in the class are too. This is a new experience for me. I have never taken film class before but I hope to be able to see films in many differen't ways I haven't seen them in before.

After viewing your profile, i found it interesting that you liked Daughtry. I found it interesting because I am firmilair with them. In being in this class, I want to learn more about how films are made. I hope I learn things I didn't know after being in this class.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at your profile, I thought one of your favorite people was interesting. The most interesting part was that you liked Taylor Swift. I don't know much about Taylor Swift, but I know a lot of my classmates like her. Also, I am interested in leaqrning the general history of films, along with some of the elements of design they use. I hope I learn these things this quarter, and hopefully watching some movies in the process. :)
ReplyDeleteAfter looking through your profile I thought that it was cool that you can tell what's really going on in the movie by the colors and camera shots. I hopt I learn to do that in this class. I think it would be really cool.

I noticed on your profile you love photography and painting, I like to do that to growing up with my dad & his Mom who loved painting and drawing. i hope we can learn about some kinds of music in different movies
ReplyDeleteThe thing I like about this site is that students can comment and blog. Im looking forward to see how they make moives, and all the different parts of a scene. I hope we learn about color symbolism, and they add special effects.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at your profile, I found it really interesting that you enjoy horseback riding and camping. Those are also two of my favorite things to do.

ReplyDeleteFrom viewing your profile,what interested me the most was that u enjoyed camping, because I love camping as well. The era of film history interets me beacause The quality changes,I am more fond of older movies, judging from the actors. In the near future I hope to fully analyze a movie and critique it. I look forward to the opportunity of film.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that you have always had an interest in movies. I do, too! I watch quite a few movies, and I especially like old movies. One of my favorite silent movie actors is Charlie Chaplin. Charlie Chaplin is so funny! With this class, I hope I will be better able to analyze and critique the movies I watch.
ReplyDeleteI found that alot about this website. The things that interest me in film are how it takes 26 pics per second to create one second of film and the way it happened
