Stanley Kubrick // One-Point Perspective: Kubrick’s short video is all about having a center focus. It has a lot to do with symmetry in a film shot. This symmetry draws the viewer’s eyes to the center and main focus of the picture. This video had music, no sound, and very short clips from (what looks like) scary […]

“You have likely watched plenty of movies, but when we say “reading” movies, we mean looking at them with a keener eye for the cinematic elements that make them successful (or not).

In the first two Ira Glass videos, I learned that in broadcasting, there are two basic building blocks. The first is the anecdote, which is a sequence of actions. It’s the momentum that keeps listeners interested. For a story, you normally start with an action and then constantly raise questions with bait. When you throw […]

“Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online.

“Create your own trashy cover from a favorite book.” I decided to do the cover of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
