This was an attempt to show the wonders of the new widescreen format using three separate but synchronised camera images to create an enveloping picture through an arc of 146 degrees. It made the audience felt…
After watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind" i learned a wide range on how critical thinking can take form in many quiet and sneaky ways and just how important it really is. This movie would be very helpful to a student of Critical Thinking because of those reasons. It shows the hit/effect critical reading has with a practical example and shows how it can affect us in or day to day lives and how much we can benefit from thinking critically and how much we can loss by having a "dull" mind. In the…
As a movie fanatic and today's film curator i think it's important to spread the indie spirit. The definition of Independent films comes from its rebellious relationship with the origins of american cinema itself. Indies are defined as being made outside of the studio system but the connotations of what that actually means are usually blurred.

After I formulated a rough idea of what film I wanted to make, we all pitched what we thought could have improved it from there, conversing about such things as to what extent of a relationship the lead characters have within the narrative.

This is additionally accurate for those telling a true story. Many vital parts of the story line are left out because the director saw them not…
