First off, I'm glad that the virtual story wasn't lame. It had lots of pics and examples that helped a lot. Um ya the time and location of the class is adequate. The professor dresses professionally and not in dresses. It is a good class, its fascinating for me learning about how all the gears turn behind a movie. It affects the way I see movies and I try to notice some of the techniques used. I thing colors are a big thing in children's movies. Just saw Dr S. the Lorax this weekend and noticed how all the "bad guys" were grey and dark toned. I liked hearing the kids comment on the movie too. Especially when the scene changes from colorful music number to dim, dark, and windy. There was no dialogue yet but you could see some "good guys" dragging there feet down a long lonely road. In front of me I could hear the little girl in her tiny 3D glasses feel how the film wanted her to feel but didn't know why, "daddy why are they all sad?" aka why do I feel sad with them?
HEY I KNOW! I'M IN A FILM CLASS lalalala. Well little girl its the vast and swift contrast in the colors, the longer camera shots, the quick change to slow character movement, shapes, lines, colors, tone ect... The cues direct you to empathize with the "good guys"
Im enjoying the info presented in the class, its all new and interesting to me. The Thursday interviews are always fun. Working with the lights trying to eliminate shadows and create a golden image is fun and challenging. Working with the camera angles trying to create interesting shots is great too. Soakin it all up in me lockbox.
