Review on Movie From the Internet Movie Database Top 250 (Forrest Gump)

                    The movie I picked from the list of 250 movies from the internet Movie Database was Forrest Gump. I recently watched this movie for the first time after everyone said it was a great and classic movie. The thing that first comes to my mind from the movie that relates to what we talked about in class, is the use of a dolly. During this movies there were a couple scenes where the camera follows Forrest while he was running and I thought about the work that was put into it with a dolly. Since my job for the news casts are to work the camera, I made sure I looked for when they had camera zooms. one scene I remember is when he is playing ping pong with himself against the wall, and the camera starts just showing him and the wall, then it starts to slowly move out to show everyone sitting there watching him. In my opinion I thought his movie had a lot of good camera movements, from the dolly work to the zoom ins and zoom outs.

Second News Cast

                  For our second news cast I thought we made some improvements from our first one. I could have still done a better job on zooming up on Laura because its still shaky. I think if I started to zoom up on her slowly as see doing the introduction, then when she starts her first story, ill already be zoomed up on her. The anchors should really look over the stories before we start, so they can ask about pronunciations and  other questions. Also I'm not sure if it was my computer or not but during Laura's first story the sound cuts out a little. the change from each anchor and from the weather to the table, I think was done well. Other then the few little problems, I think we did a better job this time then the first.
