    Alfred Hitchcock’s Notorious

    by
    Learning how to read a movie proved to be more fun than I expected, but noir films are still not my preferred genre! After reading Roger Ebert’s article I feel as though I will be more inclined to watch the arrangement of scenes and how characters are placed! I also found myself watching more than […]

    by
    For my second daily create I chose to do the motion blur assignment. This assignment was pretty straight forward. I couldn’t seem to find a shutter speed option on my phone camera but I was able to get the effect by moving the camera while taking the picture

      Week 9 has been exceptionally challenging for me.  Not so much the assignments, but just finding the time to complete everything.  The video assignments take the most time for me, especially since I am a perfectionist.  Reading, eh, not so much.  Funny that I enjoy the one that takes the most time.  Oh well,...

    cute lesbians kill people and steal stuff

    by
    I took on the character description video assignment. The directions were to take a few clips to describe a character. My one character, Cleo Barrow, wouldn’t be complete without her Bonnie, so I made it a video about both of them. I was inspired by the trailer for the 1967 Bonnie and Clyde movie. Then […]
