As I learned about some of the different techniques of filming in the provided links this week, I became aware of many aspects of a movie scene that I never really noticed before. The panning of the camera, the 180 degree rule, lighting, cutting, and zoom are all present in the scenes I compiled […]

According to AMCfilmsite.com, Dramas are serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction.

As with most films, I’m sure there are many behind the scenes dealings and goings on that aren’t made readily available to the public. This is simply the nature of the business. It takes many people and many companies to produce a major motion picture, and when there is that many hands in the pot, […]

When I saw opportunity to dig into this scene, I couldn’t pass it up. “Good Will Hunting” is definitely one of my favorite films and I can overlook the fact that both Damon and Affleck are Red Sox fans and say that their Academy Award for “Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen” was very well deserved.

This movie clip is the Hospital Scene From Hard Boiled. I have never seen this movie but I love action movies from everything I have read now about this movie it is an action movie classic! Analyze the camera work: This was taken in one take. The angles follow the men around the scene. Its […]

Read what I have to say about my signature here. Remember sometimes what you determine from signature can be misleading!

Ever since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with Ariel from the little mermaid. Once I stared to sign my name and give my autograph I would try to make it as close to possible as Ariel. Now my name is Alicia and it doesn’t flow quite like Princess Ariel. Its not […]

    Signatures are a funny thing. No matter what we normal, un-famous people are signing, we somehow act like we are signing the Declaration of Independence. I remember when I was a teenager in the 1980’s I wanted my signature to look professional, and “classy” if you will. So I tried to neatly and […]

Creating an assignment, even an idea for an assignment was tricky for me. There is so much that has already been done that I did not know where to begin. I finally settled on a 3 point assignment that I would say would fall under the web assignment category. Your objective is to make a tumblr. […]
