    The opening credits give the first impression of what is to come. For the opening credits redux, I have a chance to recreate this in my own way. The most difficult part of the Pre-productions for this assignment was coming up with a good show/movie. I thought about 101 Dalmations, Cinderella (I like Disney classics), ...

    October 30, 2012
    This was a very interesting way to approach critiquing techniques of visual and audio and how they come together in a movie. Cutting off the senses really makes one focus on the specific aspects that contribute to one technique rather that putting everything together at once. I chose a clip from the Pursuit of Happyness to critique. ...

    I watched the video Protect Your Dreams: Video only review: This clip starts in a kitchen. Will is standing in the background to the left while Jaden is sitting in the right foreground. The lighting is dim. Then there is a cut to the Will and Jaden at a basketball court on an overcast day, dim lighting which seems to mirror the characters moods. This frame is a straight on angle, zoomed out. Will is on the left and Jaden is on the right. The next frame is a cut to a close up of Will’s back. Jaden runs out from behind Will to the left. The next frame zooms … Continue reading →
