Filmmaking

This past summer I had the opportunity to attend the USF Community Filmmaking program for a week. I had to write, direct, and produce an original film. This was such an educational and entertaining experience. I had never worked with so many unique and creative individuals. I open-mindedly considered all my cast and crew’s…

including both Multi camera and Single Camera Productions. Additionally, I also possess an extensive amount of knowledge and experience, operating the DSLR and Proffessional Handy-cams during shoots, allows me to express and showcase my Photography and filmmaking skills as a…

George Clooney’s film noir “Suburbicon”, a weird crossing between “Double Indemnity” and a Shakespeare’s tragedy, holds a grip until a certain point but ultimately fails to deliver. The first film directed by Clooney in three years had everything to succeed if it wasn’t for its predictability and tackiness in the vain attempt to throw in serial crime episodes, racial injustice, and social satire in the same bag without mixing them well first. Not even the magic touch of the Coen Brothers, who…

Big hair, neon clothes, and parachute pants are some things you might about when you hear someone mention the 1980s. Nothing was understated and image became more important than ever, especially in the music world, during this decade. New music and new inventions in the 80s would change the way we listen to music forever. The creation of MTV was a big deal in the 1980s. MTV was the first television channel to only showcase music videos, the Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star,” being the very…

The breaking of the nucleus of an atom in a nuclear fission uses low energy but has a massive destruction like in a case of an atomic bomb. Controversial conferences and seminars portray nations taking hard stands on whether nuclear reaction should be used in war battles. From a theoretical point of view, it looks a simple topic yet it is not. The use of graphical and pictorial presentation on the effect will make sense to hardliners in use of nuclear fission gadgets. This is only possible with…

leading up to Hollywood in the 1950’s I believe changed Hollywood forever. It made it so that like most business everyone really has an opportunity to be great, to make the film industry more of an art than a business. The blacklist altered the way filmmaking was done as the for that time period they used it as a way to keep people quiet and make the films they wanted them to be made. It may still be in the industry today but has really quietly disappeared except for certain cases as my example…

He is infamous for his creative, mysterious, dark, strange filmmaking trademarks and for countless movies from Alice in Wonderland to the Corpse Bride and even Batman.

The golden legacy of Hollywood birthed such a strong approach to narrative and visual storytelling that it went on to become one of the most dominant styles of filmmaking worldwide. Hollywood’s foundation, however, was contaminated with a strain of racism from the beginning with one of its initial major films, D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation. With the discriminatory portrayal of African Americans, this Hollywood product would become a significant influence of discussion and mindset for…

The rise of the creative industries has emerged a struggle between creativity and commerce; however, this struggle is nothing new to the role of a film producer. Film producers turn ideas into motion pictures and oversee all creative and commercial decisions from start to finish. The core of the job comes from balancing art and business in film, aiming to tell creative stories that are made efficiently as well as being profitable. In an academic study on creativity and commerce, Dr. Andrew…

In this advanced world of technology reading has taken a backseat and students prefer to see the adaptated version of a litearary work rather than read it first hand. There was a time when students/people would see an adaptation and rush to procure the original book. But students today prefer not to resort to reading thus losing out on precious reading experiences and emotional, intellectual enrichment. This has become a serious problem and this paper attempts to study the Ang Lee adaptation of…
