Film That is Over 50 Years Old (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

     The film I picked was a film created in 1961 called Breakfast at Tiffany's. This film, being 53 years old, filmed very differently then we do today. For one thing the quality is significantly better today. Throughout the movie they uses many different camera views. In the scene where Holly and Paul are walking through the city streets and the camera is far away and as they walk closer and closer to the camera it starts to focus in on their faces. Although this is a very regularly used shot in movies and in shows, I think it is an interesting angle and it tells the views a little more about where the characters stand in the world. When the camera is far away they fit in the crowd of people and they look like everyone else, but you don't realize who they really are until they keep walking towards you and you can make them out. what I did realize was that they did not have the camera looking like it was from an angle of a dolly. I just recently watched this film and found it very good and since it is so old it was fun to look at how differently they filmed back then and all the different camera angles. 

November 7 News Cast Review

         
                For our news cast on Thursday, I think it was our worst one so far. We decided last week to change up our jobs, so no one did great with the new ones. The cameras didn't go very well. They were moved from one shot to another while the screen was on that camera. When we went from the weather back to the table, Matt was still on the screen while Kenzie started talking, it was an over lap on the screens. I accidently said .com instead of .org while talking about Ms. Limmer's email. I tried to look up while talking sometimes but I could have done it more. Also, we said the title of each announcement when we shouldn't have. Usually the first sentence of each announcement restated the title so it sounded a little weird. another thing about me was that my elbows were in Kenzie's shot sometimes. I thought the report on the play High School Musical was really good. Over all it was not a good news cast, hopefully we will do a better job next week.
