The director is Peter Docter and David Silverman, is produced by the Disney Pixar studio. I said this is a great movie because as we know is an animate movie something hard to created. In the movie are a lot of effects and of course shots and different angles that make the movie be more interesting and be more appreciated for the viewers, the genre or category of the movie is comedy because the propose is to always make the viewer laugh and a little of drama because are some problems in the movie and sad scenes.

SHORT FILMS

Hi everyone I’m going to talk about Short films, because I think is very important to know about them for our next project and the next year. The short film is a technical description coined in the North American film industry in the early period of cinema, generally refers to films between 20 and 40 minutes, but now is some excellent films of just 5 of 10 minutes too. In the short films the topics are often difficult and the more commercial films are usually avoided. filmmakers benefit from larger freedoms and can take higher risks, but they must rely on festival and art house exhibition to achieve public display.

HACHICKO
Hello everyone I want to talk about a great movie a watched last week, the name is Hachiko directed by Lasse Hallstrom, this movie is based in a true story so is very interesting I really thing that is kind of sad but also we can see the loyalty of a dog and how much love they can have for a person. This movie not only is a good story, it also has great angles and shots like over the shoulder, close up, medium shot, long shot, low angle, etc. the music of the movie is good and is according to what is happening in the scenes so it help to emphasize the scenes. They made a great work with the sounds and the shadows and lights. What I also think is that the characters of this movie help a lot to make the movie seen very natural and real.

MONTAGE
This time I would talk about Montage in film, I think is important to know that montage is a technique in film editing were series of shots are edited into a sequence to condense spaces. It combined the shots with special optical effects like dissolve, fades, split screens etc. and also music. The montage is also for the editor, they takes two pieces of film of tape and combines them to emphasize their meaning or what they want to transmit.

The sound were also present like the applauses of the people the voices and laugh etc. that make the movie be more natural and real.

Colors in film
Hi film class, now I want to talk about colors in film. I think the used of colors in film is very important because had a signification, the color want to certain emotion in audiences when are watching a movie, the director usually used the red color to show anger and fear but also love. For the directors each color represents something, to give happiness, energy or maybe darkness and fear. So when we watch a movie we can see that the colors they used had a symbol that describes a character or a scene.

Ratas Ratones y Rateros

Also they used music and sound that was accorded to the movie and help to give emphasis to the scenes. Is an interesting film but the dialogue was too strong and was not clear enough, the ending is not too complete but the message that gave is very important and real.

Voice-Over
Hi everybody this time I want to talk about voice-over on film, is also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary. This is a technique where a voice is used in a film but is not part of the narrative. The voice-over is speaking by a specialist voice actor. The filmmakers put the sound of a human voice over images shown on the screen that can be related to the images being shown or not. Also the voice-over is often used when a character reflected back on their past.

FILMMAKING
Hi everyone I would talk about filmmaking or film production. This is the process of making a film, from an initial story idea or commission, through scriptwriting, shooting, editing, directing and distribution to an audience. In general it involve a lot of people to do this work and takes from a few months to several years to complete. Filmmaking takes place all over the world in a huge range of economic, social, and political contexts, and using a variety of technologies and techniques. Film production or filmmaking occurs in five stages that are development were the script is written and drafted into a workable blueprint for a film. Pre-production that is when preparations are made for the shoot, in which cast and crew are hired, locations are selected, and sets are built. Then is production where the raw elements for the finished film are recorded. The post- production that is when The film is edited like when the production sound is edited, music tracks are composed, performed and recorded, if a film is sought to have a score sound effects are designed and recorded and any other computer-graphic visual effects are digitally added etc. Finally is the sales and distribution when the film is screened for potential buyers, is picked up by a distributor and reaches its cinema or home media audience.

TRAILERS (film)
Hi everybody today I want to talk about TRAILERS because I think is one of the most important thinks in film and in the promotions of movies. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening, in general the trailers didn´t last too long there are just an advances of a movie that is not show on screen yet. The first trailer shown in a U.S. movie theater was in November 1913, when Nils Granlund produced a short promotional film for the musical The Pleasure Seekers. Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny parts of the film but in abbreviated form and usually without producing spoilers. For this purpose the scenes are not necessarily in the order in which they appear in the film. A trailer has to achieve that in less than two and a half minutes, the maximum length allowed by the MPAA. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.

AWAKENINGS
Hello everyone this time I would talk about a great movie that I already saw today and is “awakening”. This movie was made in 1990 and was directed by Penny Marshall, the principal characters were Richard Libertini as Sidney and Robert De Niro as Leonard Lower.

It tells the true story of British neurologist Oliver Sacks, fictionalized as American Malcolm Sayer and portrayed by Robin Williams who, in 1969, discovers beneficial effects of the then-new drug L-Dopa. Well this film is very interesting and called the people attention, this movie used a lot of sounds that give emphasis to the scenes and make them more interesting. The used of different shots and angles is also seen in this movie, like bird eye, over the shoulder, low angle, long shot, close up, extreme close up and others. This movie give you a lot to think about live, people and what problems a person can past and we even notice it. Also to don’t give up and always give the best you have, to be patient, to give love and never forget about the important people and family.

SILENT FILMS

Hi everybody today I’m going to talk about Silent Films, this type of film was the first films that were presented on screens. Silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound, especially spoken dialogue. The first projected sequential proto-movie was made by Edward Muybridge and was between 1877 and 1880. The art of motion pictures grew into full in the silent era before silent films were replaced by "talking pictures" in the late 1920s. The first narrative film was created by Louis Le Prince in 1888. Well because silent films had no synchronized sound for dialogue, onscreen titles were used to narrate story points, the most important points. Later on the title writer became a key professional in silent film and was often separate from the scenario writer who created the story, From the beginning, music was recognized as essential, contributing to the atmosphere and giving the audience vital emotion. Also an important point was that silent film actors emphasized body language and facial expression so that the audience could better understand what an actor was feeling and trying to say on screen.

For make a storyboard you have to draw the scenes on separate sheets of paper telling the story in sequence. This is very important because it help the film directors, cinematographers and television commercial advertising clients visualize the scenes and find potential problems before they occur. In the storyboarding process, most technical details involved in crafting a film or interactive media project can be efficiently described either in picture, or in additional text. Also the storyboards are animated with simple zooms and pans to simulate camera movement , these animations can be combined with available animatics, sound effects and dialog to create a presentation of how a film could be shot and cut together

Depth of Field Effects

Hi everyone today i’m going to talk about depth of field effects , this is very important and is very used in movies. This effect is very usefull when you want to put more attention to someone or something specific in a scene. This effects is made by a function of the lens length with short lenses, in other words the wide-angle.
To created this attention in a scene you have to have one object in a foreground in focus and the backgroud out of focus and after that you focus the background and the object in the foreground out of focus.

THE BOOK OF ELI

Hello verybody i’m going to talk about this movie called “ the book of Eli” is very new (2010) and i saw it the last week.

The music they used for the movie is and excellent job because it doesn’t interfer with the other sounds or the voices, also they used the indecated music to make the right enviroment for example to created suspeces or drama to the scene. Another thing i saw is that the movie is a little dark and all the things you see is with dark colors and with shadows and is perfect because it helps to support the plot of the movie.
Another thing that i saw is that they used a lot of transitions, cutaways also shots like extreme close up, bird eye, hight level, over the shoulder, close up, low level and a few more that make the film interesting and different.

TRANSITIONS

Hi everyone this time i would talk about “transitions in film” because i think is very important to know about it , because later we can put in practice. We already know that film scenes consists of a sequence of shots and also that the shots are made in different perspectives and in the end they are joined together, and this joining is known as transitions.The transitions can be of a camara angle to another or just for a camara to another. And if you remember this joining of transitions are the work that the editor do. There is a technique that is used in film for the transitions and is to focus on a particular element that is consistent between shots and simple transition between shots is a straight cut that is the transitions between two shots. Another type of transitions is a fade, in which the overall value of the scene increases or decreases into a frame of just one color.

The prince of persia

Hi everybody this time i’m going to talk about and excellent movie call “ Prince of Persia”. This movie really called my attention, i don’t like very much the movies about action or wars but this movie can called everybody’s attention because first the plot of the movie is interesting, also the effects that the editor used are wonderful and it looks very real. The camaras focus always the right things that call your attention to the most important character. They used a lot of cuts and shots to make the flashbacks of the characters and when they want to make the viewers see the future. Is a great movie also because is not common and the characters they used are very good actors that make the movie had successed. I can see also that they used a lot of angles like the bird eye, low angle, and over the shouder that make the viewer can see from different perspective, I think they really do and amazing job.

The film editor

I want to talke about the film editor because is an important person thaat help to creaed the movies and in very important because he can created wonderful things and if he is very goog preparated he can engaged the viewers and make us thimk that the movie don’t have any cut or editing. The editing is a combining of shots into sequences that created a finished motion picture. Also the editor can put his imagination making a good movie, unique and interesting. People can think that the work of the editor is easy and simple but ou have to had a lot of practice and imagination because the editor have to work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music etc also be careful to do the right things. They are an important part of the film and the creation of the movie.

SPECIAL EFFECTS- FILM HISTORY

Hi everyone i want to talk about a very interesting theme that is the special effects. In the beginnig is very interesting how people created without technology trick to make things, in the 1700s people created techniques to make optical illusions and they were called magicians and that techniques formed the fundation of the special effects.Some time past and then appeared the magic lanterns and that help them to put background in the back of the person.They began very popular. Later the sound entered the picture and in the 20th century the color and the added special effects were in the movie screem.In this century (20th) began the greatest revolution of the special effects bacause of the computers, with the computers people can created sceneries that are unreal also they can created characters, monsters etc. Things that was impossible to people in the beginning.

Also this movie was a very hard work because it had a lot of editions and cuts to created good angles, sceneries, characters etc. An important thing is that this movie had amazing characters that make the movie wonderful they make a good fiction effect and make it seen real because sometime when movies have a lot of fiction their began to look unreal and false and he people hates that.So this movie is very cool and the effects that they had are excellent for the type of movie.

Hi everyone i want to give my opinion about an exellent movie call " FORREST GUMP" this is an interesting movie because have great effects that make it different and also interesting they used a lot of cutting to go to another scene and that also make it interesting and help you to understand the movie because with that you can see how the time pass in the movie or if they want to go to the past to explain something and make it easy for you to understand. Also an important thing i see is that they used a lot the colors to represent something, they give a lot of importance to something with the colors. The sound also was used very carefully to give more interest to a specific part of a scene. And for have important scene like when he “knows” the president, they make a montage so they can put forrest and the president together.All this effects and cutting help the movie to had sucessed and be very interesting i think they do a wonderful job creating this movie because they give us a pretty message with that movie and that is the most important thing.

FILM EDITING

I want to talk about film editing because is an important part when people created a movie and is very important because the editor can created wonderful things and if he is very good preparated he can engaged the viewers and make us think tht the movie dont have any cut or editing. The editing is a combining of shots into sequences that created a finished motion picture. Also film editing can be a great art that make the movie unique and interesting also where the editor can put his imagination and make a good film. People can think that film editing can be simple but you have to had a lot of practice and imagination because the editor have to work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music etc also be careful to do the right things, they are an important part of the film and the creation of the movie.

Phonograph
An important invention developed by Edison in Menlo Park was the phonograph. working to improve the efficiency of a telegraph transmitter, he note that the tape of the machine gave off a noise resembling spoken words when played at a high speed. This cause him to wonder if he could record a telephone message. He began experimenting with the diaphragm of a telephone receiver by attachin a needle to it. He reasoned that the needle could prick paper tape to record a message.
The machine had two needles: one for recording and one for playback. When you spoke into the mouthpiece, the sound vibratios of your voice would be indente into the cylinder by the recording needle. This cylinder phonograph was the first machine that could record and reproduce sound created a sensation and brought Edison international fame.

World War I (The Great War) Era Films

The pacifist mood began to change and the eventual US entry into the war in April of 1917 provided Hollywood with one of its greatest sources of plots - and profits. This was evidenced by the new hit song of the time, George M. Cohan's The propagandistic films served mostly as recruitment tools, and as emotional tirades against the enemy, distastefully suggesting that heroic American involvement would bring about victory, and serve as a crusade to 'make the world safe for democracy'. Americans were persuaded to buy 'liberty' war bonds, often by movie stars, to help finance the war.

Hollywood director D. W. Griffith's Hearts of the World was a sentimental, propagandistic film to encourage US entry into the European conflict of the first world war - it included actual battle footage filmed on location in 1917 on the outskirts of the war itself (with the cooperation of the British War Office and the French Government). Griffith's film expressed the effects of the war on a recruit, and displayed the viciousness of the Germans in the person of actor/director Erich von Stroheim, who played the part of a ruthless, cold-blooded, hateful officer - a "beastly Hun." The semi-documentary My Four Years in Germany (1918), the first real hit for Warner Bros' Studios, was presented as fact - it presumed to show the first-hand experiences of James Gerard, the American ambassador to Germany from 1913-1917, including his witnessing of innumerable and cruel German "atrocities" that were greatly exaggerated in re-enactments, although they appeared true when mixed with actual footage.

Film history
The story of Hollywood

When we hear the word Hollywood the first thing that pops in our minds is movies. There’s a reason why Los Angeles became the center of motion pictures. It all started with a few independent studios that ventured as far away as possible from the trust, mainly Thomas Edison and his lawsuits, and so they headed to L.A. to distribute, produce, and exhibit their movies.
The fact that Los Angeles was far away from New York helped make it the home for independent film studios this make also Hollywood been full of film factories.
Once Hollywood became the center of the film industry in the US, a system had to be established which introduces us to the studio system. The system was first and foremost designed to ensure the cost and quality of the movies being produced. Having a system made Hollywood a much more organized film industry than anywhere else in the world.
I found a video that talk about this and their are very interesting.

The History of the Motion Picture

The first machine patented in the United States that showed animated pictures or movies was a device called the "wheel of life" or "zoopraxiscope". Patented in 1867 by William Lincoln, moving drawings or photographs were watched through a slit in the zoopraxiscope. However, this was a far cry from motion pictures as we know them today. Modern motion picture making began with the invention of the motion picture camera.
The Frenchman Louis Lumiere is often credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. But in truth, several others had made similar inventions around the same time as Lumiere. What Lumiere invented was a portable motion-picture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe, three functions covered in one invention.
The Cinematographe made motion pictures very popular, and it could be better be said that Lumiere's invention began the motion picture era. In 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to present projected, moving, photographic, pictures to a paying audience of more that one person.
The Lumiere brothers were not the first to project film. In 1891, the Edison company successfully demonstrated the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures. Later in 1896, Edison showed his improved Vitascope projector and it was the first commercially, successful, projector in the U.S..

So for me is an excellent and beautiful movie because have real scenes and a problem that can happen to you and help you to take advantage of the things you have or people that love you.

FILM..!

Foundations of the Prolific Film Industry:

Films really blossomed in the 1920s, expanding upon the foundations of film from earlier years. Most US film production at the start of the decade occurred in or near Hollywood on the West Coast, although some films were still being made in New Jersey and in Astoria on Long Island (Paramount). By the mid-20s, movies were big business (with a capital investment totaling over $2 billion) with some theatres offering double features. By the end of the decade, there were 20 Hollywood studios, and the demand for films was greater than ever. Most people are unaware that the greatest output of feature films in the US occurred in the 1920s and 1930s (averaging about 800 film releases in a year) - nowadays, it is remarkable when production exceeds 500 films in a year.
Throughout most of the decade, silent films were the predominant product of

the film industry, having evolved from vaudevillian roots. But the films were becoming bigger (or longer), costlier, and more polished. They were being manufactured, assembly-line style, in Hollywood's 'entertainment factories,' in which production was broken down and organized into its various components (writing, costuming, makeup, directing, etc.).
