Hello, I'm Arianna. I am a Freshmen this year. Right now I have no idea where I'm heading for the future. So, right now I'm just trying to figure out what I'm good at and what I like to do. My interest in art is theater. I don't know much about film, it just seemed like a fun class to take. ​

How do film-makers develop and convey stories within the mise-en-scène?

Films play between realism and fantasy. What the camera records and what it can manipulate to create an illusion. Space is a good example of showing mise-en-scene on film because the definition of space is an area which an art work is organized. It can help you portray what you want the audience to see or think. When filming with a group I could tell that it helps to communicate about what you are thinking for how you film it. Using a new software for editing can be a little confusing at times, but it works. I guess my view in film making has changed just by what it takes to create a project. You have to think about more then putting yourself in front of a camera. You have to think about what you want the scene to look at and how you want the audience to see it.

Why is cinema both the most realistic and also the most artificial of the arts? ​1) Consider the shots and camera movements we've defined, shot, and edited. Which is your favorite from those you captured for your commercial and why? 2) Also, which is your least favorite shot/camera move and why? 3) What has learning about all these shots/moves taught you about cinematography? 4) How do you feel shot type and editing play into the "reality" of film?

1.)My favorite shot/camera movement is the full shot because it shows you everything you might need to see in that shot.
2.) My least favorite camera shot is the dutch angle just because it is hard to film. To show some emotion and get it in the right angle you need.
3.)Learning about these shots have taught me how filming with different angles or view is important. It is the audiences view on the movie. Every different shot can give the audience a different feeling.
4.) Shot type and editing play into the "reality" of film by showing space and movement through time.

How do filmmakers utilize the theory of montage as a part of cinematic language? And, how does this compare to continuity editing's voice in the cinematic language?
1) Describe montage in relation to how the shots are combined and compare/contrast that with continuity editing.
2) Use example sequences from your "TV Show Pilot" to bring these two dialects of cinematic language to life.
3) How has your film-making, in regard to the process (writing/planning/filming/editing), grown since the beginning of the term?

1.) Montage is shots placed together to effect the audience. It breaks confines of space and time and creates a unique language of film. Continuity Editing maintains a clear narrative. The difference is montage is just a whole bunch of clips together to show something unique and continuity editing tells the story the way it went kind of.
2.) An example of a montage from my TV show pilot is the setting. We put together shots of the setting into a montage to show more of the surrounding. Example for continuity editing is edits of different shots of the same thing. Like different angles to show different sides of the story.
3.) My film making process has changed since the beginning to now is just while filming we think about little things of editing for it too.

On your blog share the ups and downs of your film making so far and how you plan to continue to grow in the second half of the class.

1. My two biggest psychological barriers for making film would be worrying about failing and caring about whats popular.
2. A barrier I've encountered is worry of failing. I plan to do better next term by focusing on getting my film the best I can get it. My second barrier is caring about whats popular. I plan to do better by just planning something I like instead of trying to plan something I'm not that into.
3. My biggest ah-ha moment I've had this term would be from the screenplay and how important character and dialogue go with each other. How you should know about the character and who they are to know what to say or how to say something. Also its important to know how they act.

Consider your likeness to Orson Welles as he broke the rules and invented new ones to rise to fame as one of the Golden Age of Hollywood's most impressive directors.

1.) One thing that I've discovered that works well for me as I pre- produce, film and edit for over the course of making many short films is to have some sort of plan that will most likely change but help us get started. Also when filming to think about what editing you'd have to do for it.
2.) Something new I've gained from pre- production and filming this project that has helped me expand my creativity in film making is planning ahead and making sure you're ready. Also to always think of setting and the mise-en-scene.
3.) When using the studio it has changed the way I think about filming to the extent how lighting is very important. There are different lights but you need them all to help with the shadows or feeling of the scene.

What spurned the growth of various genres in mid-20th Century and how do they influence filmmakers today?

1) One of the genres we studied were Film Noir. The genre was created because audiences wanted films about depression and paranoia. They wanted to see movies like this because of the Red Scare, Atomic Age, and the beginning of the Cold War.
2) Film Noir is influencing TV today because it shows the dark part of life.
3) The genres we are doing in our film is Hitchcock, Comedy, and Fantasy. We are bringing specific element of the genres to our short film with editing and lighting.
