Early Film Scavenger Hunt



Why do you like this early silent film? What is so interesting about it? What are two common things that you noticed about the films you saw while searching for your video on youtube?


Le Voyage Dans la Lun (A Trip to the Moon)

In this early silent film, I noticed a few little tricks they used to make things seem real. Like the back drops in the first three minutes was painted rather than building an actual elaborate setting like that. The rocket that the characters were "building" was also just a flat board with a half built rocket painted on. There were more like that but what interested me the most were the costumes. The moon alien costumes were very elaborate and well thought out. They looked as though they were almost real.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing. You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

FINAL EXPERIENCE WORDCLOUD

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for? I think the group work was the most valuable because it helped me socially. I learned to act professionally at times were professionalism was most needed and I was able to stay calm and composed even when a group member was being immature and rude. Another thing I enjoyed was the class discussions and class work where we all created one thing. I liked the activity during the storytelling unit where we all passed around papers to create a story.

BEST UNIT

What unit did you enjoy the most? Why? What are three things that you learned from the unit? What are two things that you'd like to know more about? How could this unit be improved? Please give detailed input. I enjoyed the film history unit the most because I was able to incorporate my US and world history knowledge with the things that we were learning in this unit. It was cool learning about all the different ways things were made and how things were started. With all the videos, I was able to understand and internalize all the information. The sound unit was also pretty good but a lot of the topics were quite hard to interpret. It might have been just me for this unit but I felt as though it passed by too fast. If I had gotten more time on this unit, I feel like I might have done better and understood the subjects better.
