Fritz: Monday May 10

Digital Filmmaking is a challenging but rewarding class. After one week as a filmmaker, I have come in contact with many terminologies about the art of filming, whether it’s Wide Shots, Medium Close Ups, Close Ups, or Cutaways. I was able to shoot and take part in the shooting of our footage for our film “I Have A Dream.” After that, I helped out in the editing process of our short movie. I was instructed about some intricacies on how to improve the lighting of a shot or picture by using an object that can either add or block light. I now know that it’s very difficult to act and even harder to write a script for a movie. It intrigued me that it is not always the best written scripts that are chosen to be performed, it's usually the ones that are most do-able that are chosen.
