Reflection #3

This week we worked on getting a rough cut of our film. This involved us going out to film the last scene of our movie. We found time in all of our busy schedules to get together to actually film. Nico has worked hard at home to edit our film, but the rest of the group has given him valuable opinions on how the project is going.
This week I plan to look over the rough cut Nico brings in on Tuesday, and try to figure out ways to make it better. I will also help to polish the editing, to make sure our finished product is the best it can be.

CAP Hollywood Weekly Reflection #1

         

           

              Last week my group worked really hard on our film. So far we have just about all of our filming done, all except for one scene that we are planning on filming next weekend. Of what we have our film, I'm feeling very good about it. I think  the cinematography is going to be really great because we made sure to get shots of the same scene from a lot of different angles.

             Last week, I acted in a lot of the scenes that we filmed, Emily and I are playing the main characters. We put a lot of time and effort into developing two distinct characters to portray on screen, and hopefully that is conveyed through our film. For this next week I am hoping to find some music to put into the background of our film, and depending on our far we get in the editing process of our film, i might be needed for some voice overs.

4/16/2013- Green Bay Press-Gazette This cartoon was inspired by the events of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing. Depicted in this cartoon is Uncle Sam, a symbol of the United States as a whole. The cartoonist has Uncle Sam tying his running shoes as if getting ready to run. He also looks quite disheveled as if he has already run some way, the cartoons is alluding to the Boston Marathon, both in how Uncle Sam looks, but also with the sign the reads “Boston Marathon, 26.2” The other sign reads, “Boston Marathon Bombers, end of the earth,” the cartoonist is suggesting that the United States will do whatever is necessary to bring the bombers to justice. I strongly agree with this cartoon, I believe that what happened in Boston was a horrible tragedy and the people responsible should be tried for their crimes. The cartoonist created a solemn but determined tone within this cartoon, it was meant to inspire and reassure people. The look of determination that is set on Uncle Sam’s face implies that he truly does intend to run to the “ends of the earth” to catch these people.
