My Favorite Movie

When reviewing a film, one cannot just state "this is bad because I felt" and then leave for the day. They must explain the film with reason and examples that make strong argument for their point. This is what my class, Ollywood, has been learning since the beginning of the course. Certain prompts are within the realm of post-production such being editing, music score, sound effects, and much more within the film. We also went to certain locations such as Gene Siskel Film Center, MorningStar, and many more. Each experience gave the class and me a better understanding on how to interpret the medium.
What we had to do for a project was to create a review and use certain production techniques in order to invest the audience within the video.We also had to talk about interpreting the film with a perspective such as feminism in order to find implications of the film. What made this review hard to do was the edits from recordings limited enough to follow the exceptions of the instructor and audience. However, I am proud of this film and am hopeful that the challenges faced were won over.
The film Wrinkle in Time was directed by Ava DuVernay, produced by Disney, and includes actors such as Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, and Deric McCabe. It is mostly from the fantasy family genre and was released during the year of 2018.

Annie Hall: Too good for the kids now?

Movies have been considered something of a treasure. Allowing us, the viewers, to empathizes or to scorn characters for their actions throughout the film. Of course, in order for one to find if the film itself is good, they must go through certain criteria such as framing, timing, etc. This is what my class, Ollywood, and I are trying learn from films within GCE lab school. Lessons that have also been included would be acting, lighting, and what inspires a film. We have also been brought to certain experiences such as meeting with an official and JollyHouse productions, discovering the  difference between play and film within Goodman Theatre, and much more.

For a project, we had to (with a partner) review a movie within the library of GCE. The review itself being checking out(in our own opinion) contained criteria such as lighting, framing, acting, and costume design. What I enjoyed the most about the project was reviewing the acting since I had the strongest opinion. What I didn't enjoy however was the time it took just to gain the footage. Still, I hope you enjoy BD and my review on Annie Hall.

Shut up Peathers

Heather has been an inspiration to multiple people and consider a cult classic to many and was written/directed by Daniel Waters. Known to be ahead of its time, it takes punches at the society of that date and still remains relative even today. It's a movie I choose to analyze thanks to my class called Ollywood, here at GCE Lab School. What my class and I learn understanding film through post production, intention, and much more. We observed this through movies such as Jaws, Lord of the Rings, and many more. We also went outside the school to observe the role of finding the right location for the right film. What my class had to due for a project was to look at a movie and observe it intellectually. I choose the movie Heathers and based it on the characters, designs, motives, and inspiration of the film.
What I enjoy most about the project was that I felt prepared for this after seeing different critics for multiple movies. However, I found it a challenge to edit some parts after feedback, as I re-wrote 90% of the script. Over all, I believe I reviewed the film fairly on what it presented.
