Lord of The Rings Reflection

I honestly have never seen the movie Lord of The Rings. So watching the directors cut was kind of hard. It was hard to understand what exactly they were talking about all the time. But, while they were talking they were showing clips of the movie, which were very interesting and made me want to watch the movie.

Out of everything that I did understand, at first they didn’t want a prologue at all, but in the end they said that they had to have a prologue. Also, a lot of the shots were meant to show the scenery and the size of the location they were in. The directors purposely put these in to help the audience understand the location. The part of the movie that they were in the small house was very interesting. There was a lot of framing which really impacted the size of the house to the audience. They also mentioned that while shooting those shots most of those shots were not shot with both characters in them. They edited the shots to make the characters look closer together.

After watching the directors cut, it was very interesting and made me want to watch the movie as a whole. This movie seems like it would be an interesting movie to watch, with all the different shots.

Rocky, Paper, Scissors

The Rocky Paper and Scissors video was a very good video. Throughout the whole video the music mixed perfectly with the situation. At the beginning the music pulled you in and got you interested, then it transitioned to more intense music to go with them running, and at the end it then transferred to dramatic music to show the finale. They also made the music and the text coincide with each other perfectly. When they were bringing in the characters and the title, they brought them in on a beat of the music, which was really cool.

One part of the video that I thought they could have expanded on was at the very beginning when Rocky was in the alley and thought he was having a flash back. They shot the camera up into the clouds and made it appear a little fuzzy, but then they pulled it back without really having a flash back. They lead you to think there was going to be more then than there actually was.

The video was very action packed. It had many different camera shots. Just to name a few, when they were running there was multiple panning shots, at least one point of view shot, and several tracking shots. Most of the shots were tracking as they were running, with a couple shots inserted in between the tracking.

Overall this video was a very well thought out video that was put together very well. This really opened my eyes to the possibilities that our class can create!!
