This Is The End!

First and far most I would like to talk about Pan's Labyrinth.

This Photo is what caught my eyes in the first place, it made me wonder what this was about. This was the first movies ive watched where i reallly payed attention to Color and the Hues that complimented the scene.
The Costume used here was Sci-Fi with reality. The Impact it had on me was it took me away from my comfort zone and made me realize that there is more out there than my typical movies I watch.\



Second I enjoyed watching Double Idemnity as probably one of the first Monochrome movies i have seen in a while.

Movies back then all had this same feeling as to how the actors would speak. Dont get me worng but they are still enjoyable and come to appreciate how movies are now. The camera work was still good for the limited resources they had. Film Noir was a new word for me prior to taking this class and it was a dark film. This picture perfectly describes what happened in the film.

Last but not least lets talk about Pulp Fiction. 

This social media app I use called The Chive uses pulp fiction as a reference for a meme a lot so it was nice to see this film being on the list. Not only did it have great actor in it but the way the movie was directed was smooth. I would say that the Camera Position in this film was one of the major components the film used. They took a lot of the negative space and made us focus more on the idea that was being portrayed.

3 Movies I would recomend would be The Good Dinosaur, Grid Iron Gang and Deadpool.

Good Dinaousr was really nice like I mentioned on my first Post of the semester. it uses very little dialouge and makes us see the film for what it is. The animation was great!

Grid Iron Gang is a nice sports movie to watch that demonstrates a lot of discipline. The camera work of being able to capture the running experience from the charcters was nice. It made you feel as if you were there. 

Deadpool is a good movie showing first person angle shots and close ups talking to the audience. 

There is slow motion picture in the film and the sound is influenced by his personality.

George Miller Interviewed on The Treatment

Before the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" I had no idea who the director George Miller was. I began to hear how good of a movie this was and seeing it was nominated a lot at this years Oscars, I had to hear about the interview on The Treatment about Miller. Elvis Mitchell has know Miller for over 40 years and this isn't the first time he has interviewed Miller before. The interview i listened to took place in February 24 2016.

What I found interesting right off the bat was that George Miller got introduced to film due to his curiosity. I learned that he likes to play around with the angles while making a film. Most of George Millers inspiration in making this film was from the fact that he loves cars and grew up with open roads.

In the movie Mad Max: Fury Road I feel like George Miller did a great job in taking up space in the whole screen to give his audience something to see. As he states "Create a much sense of volume 3D volume of a 2D screen" he does just that. He felt that the way the angle was it would take up much more space than going from the X-Y plane so he likes to go through the Z plane and he found himself doing it unconsciously. I feel that sometimes greater things come when you arent as focused on it. What i mean by that is if Miller was actually working just to make the 3D stand out more he would look out for more mistakes and try to perfect it but the outcome might not have been the same.

Mad Maxx: Fury Road had a variety of unique cars and that was one of the passions Geroge Miller had. He was able to combine his love for cars and film and make it into one masterpiece film. Miller states that he got the idea when he said "Grew up in Australia with big endless roads" Mad Max was in a big open road environment and just like he grew up with his Hot Rods, they were in the film. Its nice to see that some directors can put what they like into the eyes of the audience.

Movies have come a long way and when George Miller says that a movie  is like "Its public dreaming" made me realize that he is right. We get to see someones imagination into a film and get an understanding for what they intended to show. When we read a book we picture what its like in our head so we day dream, a film is someones day dream in the big screen. I feel that this was probably one of the best things I got out of Miller and will begin to see it this way next time i see a film.

I enjoyed listening to what George Miller had to say. It was nice knowing where some of these directors get their ideas and how they sometimes look up to other directors and get ideas from them as well. I also like how Miller combined both his passions and made them into one film. He showed that it doesnt  take a big budget to make a great movie when he made the first Mad Max. You have to have will to make it great abd as best as you can. He did it with as little as 30 people and its a film people still talk about when The new Mad Max came out.
