Who am I at home is a cool headed teen that likes to play games. Who I am at school is a responsible teen who wants to get his work done. What I want to be in the future is a architect designer. What I think that interests in art and film is that there is always someone who will like it. What I am hoping to gain from film 1 is to do some basic editing. ​

How do film-makers develop and convey stories within the mise-en-scène? 1) How they develop and convey stories within the mise-en-scène is change different angle have a something interesting happen in the film.
Give a fact from early film-making that inspired our work these last few weeks. One fact that I have that inspired our work theses few weeks is move a lot.
2) Define and describe at least one concept regarding the Elements of Art that artists use while creating their films.
A word that I can define and describe is line which means A path created when a object one point to another point. How it was used in the moves we watched is for example the rocket ship ram into the moon's eye and it showed it in his eye.
3) Also, consider the art works you filmed and edited; discuss your experience filming with a group and editing using new software. My experience was fun. Why it was fun is because the people that was with me had a similar idea and we overall pulled it off.
4) How, if at all, has your point-of-view shifted in regard to the art of film-making?
How my point of view of movies is different is because I used to watch it for fun but now I can admire the overall mise-en-scène.

Why is cinema both the most realistic and also the most artificial of the arts? ​why the cinema is the most realistic and the most artificial of the arts is because it's the finished project.
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? Why favorite shot of my film is the close-up the shoes, why it is my favorite shot of the film because you see the object we are trying to sell.
2) Also, which is your least favorite shot/camera move and why? What my least favorite camera move is the tilted one where the camera isn't straight, why I say this is because it makes me sick.
3) What has learning about all these shots/moves taught you about cinematography? What this taught me is that you have to be very creative and make sure the shots are perfect.
4) How do you feel shot type and editing play into the "reality" of film? How I feel about the shot type and editing play into the "reality" of film is that it can look fake, for example if you have a wide shot of a person but the next shot is him in a plain that's unrealistic but if you have a shot of him thatch wide then you zoom in of him getting into the plain that's realistic.

​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? How filmmakers utilize the theory of montage as a part of cinematic language is that they us it to establish who is who or what is what or where one place is. How this compare to continuity editing's voice in the cinematic language is that it makes the film more smoother.
1) Describe montage in relation to how the shots are combined and compare/contrast that with continuity editing. Montage is a shot that is used to past time.
2) Use example sequences from your "TV Show Pilot" to bring these two dialects of cinematic language to life. One is how I used a montage to show where the people live, last but not least another shot how I used cinematic language to life is that when the "police' came to arrest a man that just killed a man after someone called the "police department".
3) How has your film-making, in regard to the process (writing/planning/filming/editing), grown since the beginning of the term? How my film-making has change in the past weeks is amazing, how now can do and know tricks I didn't know how to do. For example I know how to make a shot slower or faster or I can make the composition length longer, ect.

Two of my biggest fails in filming is not getting the exact shot I want to get and not putting enough editing in my films. How I can grow from the mistakes is try to get the image that I have in my head into the real world and when i'm editing make it more "wow". Two of my biggest success is when I first tried the 180 rule it didn't out so bad, lastly one of my biggest success is when I made my one shot story it wasn't great but I was just happy it was what i want to film to look like.

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) 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? One thing that I discovered by making lots of shots is that if you are in a rush do that main shots first. 2) What's something new you've gained from pre-production and filming this project that has helped you to expand your creativity in film making? One thing that I learned is that try to make the film believable
3) To what extent has using the studio changed the way you think about your film making? One way it changed my mind is how much time you have to put to get the exact lighting you want.

What spurned the growth of various genres in mid-20th Century and how do they influence filmmakers today? What spurned the growth of various genres in the mid 20th century is people wanted to see new things. How this influence filmmakers today is it makes them thing of new ways to surprise the audience 1) Describe why on of the classic genres we studies was created. Why I believe we studied on the classic genres because with out them we wont have movies because they started this all. 2) How do you see this classic genre influencing film/TV/media today? How I see it influencing films today is that they can go back to see the classic and get ideas because the classics are always the best. 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"? The two genres i'm crossover is fantasy and film Noir. How i'm bring those's two together is make the characters more 50's detective themed.

You are the best camera man/director because you are good at it and you get the perfect angles and shots.
