    Week 4 Mid-Week Summary

    by
    The first half of this week was a lot easier than most weeks before it. To start off with I did both of my daily creates, then read over the How to Read a Movie article. After writing my blog post about the article, I jumped straight in to watching the four YouTube videos we...

    Let’s Watch

    by
    This week in Digital Storytelling is movie week! Which is a great excuse to stay in my PJ’s and eat popcorn all week! I started off the week by learning how to read a movie. I found this reading really interesting and since I love watching movies I actually think I will use these tips […]

    Wow Look, Camera Angles.

    by
    The four different videos I watched were Hitchcock Loves Bikinis, Camera Angles and Techniques, Top 20 Amazing Cinematic Techniques Part 1, and Examples of Editing Techniques. While I didn’t learn a ton of new things in the videos, I enjoyed learning new names to techniques I’ve seem time and time again in films. I think the most educational...

    Horror Nursery

    by
    Like most of us, I sang nursery rhymes at an early age. Their easy language and catchy hooks get lodged in your brain instantly. But once you start to really listen to the words/lyrics you notice that nursery rhymes are really, really, strange….and sometimes downright creepy. The question of the week for week 4 is: What […]

    Let’s Talk About Movies

    by
    Roger Ebert’s article “How to Read a Movie” discusses the act of analyzing a movie by looking at individual frames. I remember doing this as a kid, not to analyze the inner workings of the film, but to see if I could get the actors frozen on any stupidly funny faces. While this is definitely...

    The Three Little Pigs

    by
    It may come as a surprise to you, but I’m not a fan of fairy tales. I’ve never understood our society’s fascination with the anthropomorphization of farm animals to get a point across.  Granted, there is some appeal to it. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Disney would never have become a thing. Still, I don’t need […]

    Requiem for a Video

    by
    Because it’s such an amazing piece, I feel I have to clarify this point: the song title is “Lux Aeterna” – not “Requiem for a Dream”. The latter is the name of the movie, but for some reason it’s been confused with the song. Probably because the song is so powerful, but hell the movie […]

    Moving Picture Reading

    by
    It’s movie week! And we are starting out by learning how to read a movie as instructed by the great critic Robert Ebert. His article on reading a movie talked about pausing and looking a frames individually while watching. The first thing I thought of was being a kid and pausing a movie, then bursting […]

    Videos about Videos

    by
    Hello, everyone! In addition to reading Roger Ebert’s article about reading and analyzing movie scenes, I also looked at several short videos about various filming techniques, which I’ve listed below: This video is a collage of all of the zooms–both zoom-ins and zoom-outs–used in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. This video displays many different well-executed techniques in film... Continue Reading →
