Film...

For this week, I continued to work with my partner Jeanette. We are working on post production sound. We finished all the foley sounds that were needed. We imported them all into the computer. Also we did some ADR that was needed of a voice over on wednesday. More adr'ing was needed, so we planned to do this today. However the actors did not show up, so maybe we need to work on the communication! Jeantte and I also found the music we were going to use and some other sounds we were going to use. I attended shooting this past wednesday and helped with sound. We will begin to edit the sound in as soon as our editor finishes her work. We hope to get started no later then tuesday! I know Jeanette & I will get our work done and it will turn out great.

Film Journal

Jeanette is my partner for post sound production. This week me and Jeanette have been working on a short film where we needed to input sound into it. We used the sound box to record dialogue to put into our film. Then we edited the dialouge so that the words fit into the film. Jeanette and I also had to put in hitting sounds and all the basic background noises. We did this as practice for our real film that we need to put sound into. Some things that really worked was planning everything out. At the same time we also had to be helping out with our Head Games film. I attended shooting on tuesday and took an actor for one of the parts. There was shooting wednesday but due to some miscommunication I was not aware if there was shooting or not. I think that is something that did not work during this week, but everyone is now aware of when and where shootings are. There will be shooting this weekend and I will try my best to attend. Although the main priority for me and Jeanette is post production, it is learned that attending shooting days is important because they might need extras or just to PA. The producer may need help with certain things and we will be able to help. Through the many experiences we learn new things and this just helps us learn and get better.

Working on a Film Noir...

For the past weeks I have been working on a Film Noir with my partner, Erika. It has been a learning experience. It is definitly different to work with a partner then to work alone on a story. I have learned that  when working with another person you have to combine ideas to create a whole new great story. We have even done groups of four as practice and with every person that is added to the group, things get harder and simpler at the same time. Things get harder because of the different viewing of the person and simplier because now there are more people to put in effort to the project. When working in pairs or in groups not eveyone may agree with your own ideas and some might even have different viewings. It is all about combing ideas and learning to work together. It is needed that every person puts in the same amount of hard work to a project. It is not fair if someone puts in more work then someone else. Me and Erika have done a good job with combining our different viewings and created a whole new project. Although I do believe have to work on our script writing as it is not "Lemos Perfect". I know that with more practice we will get to a good stage of writing. I have really enjoyed working on this project, although me and Erika may not be the best in the class we really have been trying our best for this project. Or atleast I think we have

This article is about how the seven lawsuits that were filed to Cinemark because of the Midnight Shooting during The Dark Night Rises will go into one big case They will go to trial on a year and a half.  Three of the victims filed lawsuits on September 21 and four more suits were filed October 11 by some of the victims and their families. 
This article is important because this shows how the people who are filing law suits actually get the chance to have a trial.What caught my eye, is that i thought that they were never going to get a chance to have their trial. As a future filmmaker, this can help me think about how i should think about how my films can affect other people. As a consumer this affects me because this shows if i ever have a problem, and i need to have a trial i know that i may actually have the chance to one. 
The questions this article raises up questions like:
What will be the outcome of this trial?
How will this affect other people?

Blog for week of 11/12/12

This article is about how Cinemark is rewarding customers who do not text during a film. Cinemark came up with an app for iPhone and Androids that determine whether someone uses their phone during the film. If the customer stays in the app through out the film, it will automatically send the customer a coupon. The article says this about one of Cinemarks idea "... they’d consider scheduling separate screenings of a film designating ones where texting would be allowed, and others where it wouldn’t." 

I found this article really intresting because i think it is good that they are trying to fix the problems they have. This article affects students because they will not text as much, they can actually focus on the movie, and not distrub the people around them. As a future filmmaker, this motivates me along with many other things because people will actually pay more attention to my films and maybe more people would even go and watch it since they will know they will not be distracted as much during the film. As a consumer this affects me because i would want to go the movies more since i know that i will not be distracted, and maybe even if i don't text during the film in general i can sign up for that app and get coupons! 

Some questions this article brings me are:
-"How will this affect cinemark theatres?"
-"Will they have a lot more customers?"
-"Will other theatres start doing this also?"

This article i read is about how people are already camping out for the premiere of Breaking Dawn Part 2. The film comes out on Monday, and people are already camping out. There will be many different events for the campers. They will have events like fitness workouts, mini concerts, breakfasts, and showing s of past Twilight movies.

What caught my eye about the article was the fact that so many people are waiting for the showing of this movie. I would understand if they camped out a day before but when i saw it was 4 days in advanced, I think this is so ridiculous, even if I am a fan of the Twilight Saga. 

As a future filmmaker I think reading this article defenitely motivates me to try to make movies that will be this succesful! As a consumer this affects me because i wonder how this will impact me. Some questions that come into mind while reading this article are questions like: 
"How much money will this movie make?"
"Will it break records?"
"How many campers will there be in total?"

The article I read is about how many companies are helping with Hurricane Sandy. Disney for example is donating $2 million to the American Red Cross and other organizations. Disney also says it will help out by  matching employee contributions dollar for dollar. According to the article "Time Warner Cable is donating $600,000 and is dispatching vehicles with mobile charging stations and free Wi-Fi access throughout New York City." Viacom is making a  $1 million donation. And also according to the article the company says it will donate $500,000 to the Mayor’s Fund for NYC and a lot more. 
I chose this specific article because i found it interesting how these companies are helping out the situation. As a student this article impacts me because it encourages me to work hard to be able to help if needed.As a future filmmaker this really motivates me to try to have my movies succeed because then I will be able to help anyone who is in need of my help. As a consumer this impacts me because this might make me want to switch my cable company to Time Warner Cable for example. 
Some questions that come into mind after reading this article are questions like:
- What other companies will be helping out with Hurricane Sandy? 
-How will this affect the companies helping out?
