Blog Post #42 Behind the scenes: Part Three

 Today I will be talking about the second stage in my filming process and how I used camera angles to better depict the scenery and facial expressions of actors.



In my filming process I used a plethora of camera angles in order to convey the ideas and setting of the film to the fullest extent. The uses of camera angles were important as to creating an narrative in the scene too. The research I used helped me with selecting the best possible shots to use to increase the scenery in the scene, the emotions of the characters, and the actions of the characters. The research also helped me become more creative with my shots also this is because of the use of the film "Whiplash's" final two cuts where they went from eye to eye, I was able to incorporate this into my film. 



 The use of sky shots in my scenes help me display the lighting techniques I was able to use, with natural lighting being the main one. The aerial shots also help with conveying the scenery even further, showing a blue slightly cloudy sky. I mainly used aerial shots in order to convey my title sequence for my film though, this is because it creates a clear and open environment with my title being the main focus. 



 Also the use of close up shots on the actors faces can help further show and express the emotion in the scene. This can help express the Pathos in the scene, which is the emotions that are evoked in the audience through the facial expressions of the actors, setting in the scene, and the actions of the actors in the scene. For example when I cut between the faces of the two players when they were playing it allowed for mt to better incorporate their emotions through the use of close up shots.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
