    1. .

      I never knew about sound mixing, till know and realizes how much of difference it can make for a movie. it's also interesting to watch the example as it furthers our understanding.

    1. end.

      this sounds absolute awful and confusing I used to do band and before we went on stage we would only practice bits and pieces out of order so I could never imagine acting a part like in bits and pieces.

    2. r but embodies a character’s emotional truth

      I never thought that so much history when it came to acting it's quite interesting to see it evolve form what it was to what we have now.

    3. .

      I like how at the end they just narrowed down the schools to their method of teaching. and how at the end they both have the same. I would just like to know which one had more successfully students.

    1. ach decision will affect the look and feel of a scene

      I know tend not to think about something so small as light in the movie, but it definitely has big effect on the scene and how some foreshadowing will go in the future of the said movie. I also like how they added cool temperature and was intrigued by that as well.

    2. but each one of them will affect how we engage the cinematic experience.

      I know a lot of people work on movies due to how long the end credits are in marvel movies. but I guess I never took into consideration how much they actually do.

    1. our shared cinematic language

      I think this was a pretty good break down of the three acts, and I also appreciated that it is very similar to the books and how we got to see that them putting into prospective as if we were to read a book but still stayed on the movie department.

    2. how does the script page compare to the finished scene? What do you notice in the script that isn’t on the screen?

      I think the only thing I noticed that was different was the weather. I also know the characters weren't affected by any weather, so I also see not the need to put it in there.

    3. hey don’t want to miss anything, so you have to describe in detail everything you’re seeing and hearing by yelling across the apartment. What do you include? What do you leave out?

      I love the example it made me think about much clearer. I was a little bit confused at the beginning because i tend to look at the big picture which is the script which overwhelms me because there is a lot going on

    1. one-point perspective:

      I use to watch American horror story a lot and they had an intro very similar every season the only difference was the pictures at the start of every new season.

    2. “The actor seemed like they were in a different movie from everyone else.”

      we can see a lot of bad acting within small movie productions and example of the is the movie twilight and how some of the lines weren't exactly portraited correctly and left the crowd in an awkward standpoint. but to this bad acting some people have remade the movies into a different category. like an example is scream and the comedy for that is scary movie.

    3. That comparison between cinema and literature is not accidental

      I think it's easier to look at a movie like you would break down a book in reading class. you can tell the was the movie is about by the theme. All though you don't exactly have music in a book you get the characters thoughts.

    1. Muybridge

      Muybridge paved the way of movies as Stanford simply wanting to see if a horse lifted all its legs while running using stop motion. Soon after that commotion, a series of other inventors started joining in to make a better, more functional way. As two French inventors, Niepce and Daguerro, did a chemical reaction to do photography, one only making it out alive, it became a daguerreotype. soon after, Thomas Edison joined in and ended up replacing the bulky glass with light-sensitive strips. Soon after, Edison built a box and produced a scene of a man sneezing.

    2. era.

      Skip a few years later, after everything started to get controversial, the Warner brothers, still small at the time, wanted to sync up the sound with the movie. This is now where America is in the golden age. During this time Americans started to have actors on low pay even if their films got big. During World War two, entertainment sky rocked as TV became a common household item. During the Hollywood, are they allowed freelance artists to take risks and explore creativity. After taking hold of that, blockbusters became a thing (Jaws).

    1. The repetitive and focused movement of walking while absorbed in prayer enhanced the devotional experience for the worshiper—who was also the viewer of the labyrinth—on both a physical and a spiritual level.

      usually when I think of a labyrinth I think of maze runner, but to see that labyrinths were mostly used for a person to practice faith is very interesting to know.

    2. there are other times when it is helpful to have some information about the artist or artwork for us to better understand and appreciate what we are looking at.

      personally, I like it more when I know the backstory or why the artist created such a piece work.

    1. This text is not intended to determine what is or is not good art and why it matters.

      This chapter ended on a good note while allowing myself to develop my own opinion of art and although everything is considered art it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they view the piece as important or not.

    2. his definition gets us no closer to understanding what does or does not qualify as an art object.

      I believe I know where Mr. Bell was headed ''as in just saying everything is art" with the aesthetic pleasure and colure. How I think is we are so stuck as humans trying to find a set rules system for "what art is" we can't stop and enjoy or admire the work, maybe art isn't just a yes or no answer but just a word we categorize trying to find a deeper meaning to.

    3. Zeuxis conceding defeat

      I think the story on parhassios and zeuxis are interesting because we can gather so much information about that time on the artwork or just the tale itself. I know for a fact I could never paint something like that. I suppose I am relieved that Jackson pollock didn't follow the stereo type during that age and went the complete and opposite route.

    1. The EBSCO Ebook Collection, Films on Demand, and other specialized databases, the district pays about $285,000/year. On top of this, each college is afforded a local budget to purchase additional books and resources that are housed locally at the campus. Cosumnes River College has received about $75,000/year to acquire these additional resources, though our budget was cut this year because of the COVID-19 crisis and the financial impact it has had across the state.

      I am glad they compared prices this really makes you see the bigger picture.

    2. There is a value placed on academic information (both monetary and societal value). And in academia especially, only a privileged few have access to certain types of scholarly writings.

      I think it's important that he stated this because i don't think as people we hear it enough it's defiantly something we know, but turn a blind eye to it.
