At home i am a completely different person than i am at school because at school i am more professional, sophisticated and more respectable where at my house i am really childish and throw things here and there. I want to travel a lot look at beautiful place, countries and different cultures also different beliefs people have and to achieve that goal i am thinking of stuff that i can do so that i make money for living and make my dream happen. I feel like photography and vlogs can really help my goal.

​How do film-makers develop and convey stories within the mise-en-scène?
1) Give a fact from early film-making that inspired our work these last few weeks.
2) Define and describe at least one concept regarding the Elements of Art that artists use while creating their films.
3) Also, consider the art works you filmed and edited; discuss your experience filming with a group and editing using new software.
​4) How, if at all, has your point-of-view shifted in regard to the art of film-making?
In early days people shot whatever they got and after that people started creating fictional characters and making stories. Color is the light reflected from the object and people used to make creatures with really bright colors like in "A Trip To A Moon".It was a great experience i learned a lot of new things that i did not no before. I used to think that its an easy job to make films but now that i know how much hardwork and creativity you have to put in your work i know that is really had and i have more respect to this art.

​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?

My favorite shot from my commercial was the Zoom IN because it is really attractive and it stands out in the scene. My least favorite shot would be Extreme Close Up because i think its too much on your face and it gets kind of weird. It taught me that its definitely not easy and a lot of hard work and goes in it. Shots make the films more entertaining and more attractive which makes the audience like the film.

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?

Montage is to assemble the clips and put them on places to effect the audience which makes the unique language of film. For example, i put my establishing shot right before my first scene in which me and my friends are talking so that my audience know that where is the shot taking place. I have grown a lot i know a lot more stuff now i know how 1 shot can give two meanings if you put a little change and i definitely became better than a beginner.

1) Do this by writing about your two biggest psychological barriers when it comes to making films, referencing ideas from the article "5 Psychological Mistakes that Beginning Filmmakers Make, & How to Avoid Them". 2) For each, provide an example of a barrier you encountered this term as well as a solution you plan to initiate in the second term to overcome this barrier. 3)Then, finish off the entry by recalling the biggest success or ah-ha moment you've had this term. Provide details about what made it a great moment for you and how you felt you grew from the experience.


My two biggest psychological barriers were:-
1.Worrying about failure: Failure is inevitable, but if you focus too much on it, the fear will keep you from creating.
2.Practice humility: Simon shares a quote by Ze Frank: "Let me be not so vain to think that I'm the sole author of my victories and a victim of my defeats."
I worried about failure in one short story because it was my first time shooting and making a video but the best way to overcome it is be sure of what you have to do and talk to your teacher and enjoy the video you are shooting. I also felt humiliated when kids looked at me while i was shooting and it easy to overcome it by simply enjoying your video.The biggest ah-ha moment was when i completed my TV show pilot because it looked like it was so much work and i won't be able to complete it but i did it and it came out to be beautiful.

1) What's one of the things you've discovered over the course of making a number of short films that works well for you as you pre-produce, film, and edit? 2) What's something new you've gained from pre-production and filming this project that has helped you to expand your creativity in filmmaking? 3) To what extent has using the studio changed the way you think about your filmmaking?

Over the course i have discovered that without the shots the video look really boring and really unprofessional. Pre-production really gives you an idea of what you have to do and makes your work better and more professional. Using the studio makes your clip a lot more realistic and gives the feel of shooting an actual movie and it tells me it is not an easy job and a lot goes into a movie.

What spurned the growth of various genres in mid-20th Century and how do they influence filmmakers today?
1) Describe why on of the classic genres we studies was created.
- Classic genres that we studied were created post-war, because audience's were tired of seeing the same old happy movie couple. These new genres reflected on what was going on in the world.
2) How do you see this classic genre influencing film/TV/media today?
- Classic genres such as musicals, comedies, and action films are still being made all across the world today. They are being made at a higher level due to the new technology that has been developed over the years.
3) What genres are you blending in your "Genre Crossover" project and how are you bringing specific elements of the genre to the screen in your short film"?
- I Tried to blend Romance comedy and make it romcom my story is from a spiderman movie. It will have some scene of spiderman dacing in the rain and making jokes.
