Members: Fahad Ulbari, Sebastian Perez, Emir Palo and me (Adam Molnar) Our movie is going to be about a schizophrenic patient, his imaginary friend, and his doctor, and how he is forced to make a choice that could change his life forever. Sebastian is playing the patient, we chose him as this role as he can easily produce  a wide array of emotions quickly, which is perfect or the role. Emir is the doctor since he is very calm and collected, and Fahad is the imaginary friend as he also can produce emotions well. I am the cameraman since I'm good at capturing angles and shooting.

  For todays assignment, I chose the genre comedy, with its themes of humor and lightheartedness. My thought process for the poster is to showcase some well known comedians, who are known to make audiences laugh, as well as some stages where people preform comedy, and a person laughing. The speech bubbles are there to communicate how comedy is communicated, through speech usually.  Through speech in movies, is how comedy and humor is usually shown in different medias.  I also chose the color yellow since the color is commonly associated with comedy. Another method of comedy that many comedians and movies alike use is visual gags, where through action, with the inclusion of some minor sound effects, create a funny joke. I chose those themes since I believe at heart, all comedy is truly just there to bring lightheartedness and humor to the mix, people never go to comedy movies for suspense, or action, they go there for the fun, the silliness, and the overall tone and humor ...

Sound Project Blog Post

 Sound or the lack of sound is very important to a scene in a film because it makes up the ambience and the atmosphere. Sound or the lack of sound can bring different emotions and impact to the scenes, without it, it would be very hard to create something like suspense or build up. It was not that difficult to come up with sound ideas for a story without visuals because sound can still bring emotion, even without any visual aid, such as audiobooks. It was just making up a story, then removing the visuals and just keeping the sounds. I believe my group was able to create a sound story that the audience could understand because I believe it was very coherent. It was pretty understandable to follow and I think there was a intelligible plot to the audio story as well.

Camera Shot Comments Blog Post

 I commented on Hannah's camera angles and Cayden's camera angles. On Hannah's I commented on all the shots she showed overall, I mentioned that she captured the shots amazingly, such as the low angle shot, which I compared to something out of a movie. These shots convey the feelings that they should: The tilted angle, along with the expression of the person, give the feeling of insanity, the long shot showing the subject and the background clearly, and the low angle giving a feeling of intimidation. On Cayden's post I mostly talked about the contrast between the two images used, comparing that in the POV, it makes you feel like you are in the moment, as well as noting how tall he is, compared to the wide shot, which makes him feel much smaller compared to the previous image. Both these people conveyed the emotions that you should feel with these images, they did an amazing job!

Camera Angles and Shots Project Blog Post

 Last Friday's assignment I partnered with Khaleb Baptiste to recreate some movie angles and shots. I will be sharing some of the shots we took and my opinions on it.           The top image is the POV shot, I took the photo and stuck my fist out, as if I were about to punch him (I of course, did not actually punch him). This felt pretty much like a normal shot, with only the addition of my fist into the frame. The middle shot is the Over the shoulder shot (OTS), In this one, we requested the help of a fellow classmate to stand in front of Khaleb, while I took a picture behind his shoulder. This was a pretty fun one to take a picture of, since it's not a picture you would normally take. Finally, the bottom photo is the low angle, this picture was pretty straightforward to take, I just crouched in front of Khaleb and took a picture looking up at him, I feel that once again you wouldn't really take pictures like this, so it was a pretty interesting angle...

Camera Angle

Today I will be talking about 5 different camera angles/shots and their meaning. High Angle Shot In Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, Dobby the house elf is usually shot with a high angle shot, as seen several times throughout this  clip . This is meant to represent how small he is, but it also defines how the world sees him. The Close up shot In The Shining, this shows a close up shot. Close up shots are used to express the subjects emotion, here we see the character, Jack Torrance's madness and delusion up close. The Cowboy shot In this clip from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, We see a Cowboy shot used several times. The cowboy shot was popularized in these types of movies, which is where it got the name from. Since gun holsters are at hip level, this shot is used to show the gun holster. Medium closeup  In this clip from Avengers: Endgame, We see Thanos snap his fingers using the infinity gauntlet with a medium closeup shot. Medium closeups attempt to remove unneces...

 Hello, my name is Adam Molnar, I was born on November 2008 in France. I live with my mom, my dad, my sister and our pets, I moved to Florida about a year ago. I used to live in France before moving to Illinois, then we moved to Mexico, then to Tennessee, then of course finally to Florida, so yeah, I've moved a lot. I really like computer classes, like coding , I don't like math, I do track/cross country as a sport, though my sister tries to convince me to do swimming. My family has 3 dogs and a cat (yeah we have a lot of pets) I will put an image of them at the end of this post, their names are: Coco (the blonde dog), Fluffy (the grey colored one), and Biscochito or Chito for short (the black one). The cat's name is Luna, I consider her to be pure evil because she dislikes everyone, if we bring people over, she hisses at them and runs away, she even tried to claw my grandmother once! Sometimes if you are petting her, she will randomly attempt to attack you, this is why I c...
