Video Essay: La La Land

For this assignment, I wanted to build on the video essay assignment that we all did last week, and you can find my video from last week here. I wasn’t super proud of what I made last week, so I wanted to refine and spend more time on creating a better video essay analysis. For this one, I used iMovie again, but included a more focused narrative for my video. I didn’t include background music because I thought it may be too distracting from what I was saying. This article helped me shape my narration for this video essay too, ...

For my video essay I decided to analyze a scene from the Wolf of Wall Street. pic.twitter.com/OFZTM3UF7Y — Alec Biles (@ds106alecbiles) March 27, 2020 This scene actually goes 4 minutes longer, but the rest of it is just them talking how they are for the last 30 seconds of this clip. One of the first things I noticed about his scene was the composition of the scene. In the article “How to read a movie”, the rule of thirds is discussed. This scene shows a perfect example of that. In the main shot in the beginning when Belfort is greeting ...

Below is where I created a video essay analysis on one of the scenes from the movie, “The Shining.” This is the link to the original assignment and it is worth 3 1/2 stars. I completed this assignment in iMovie and it was very time consuming. I went to the DKC for help and below is my completed analysis of the scene, Here’s Johnny!” Let me know what you guys think.

I chose my one of my favorite scenes from Doctor Who, the episode of Angels Take Manhattan, where Amy Pond and Rory Williams (the companions) die. Angels

It’s been a long long time since I did a video essay, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Here I talk briefly about symbolism in O Brother Where Art Thou. Some of the clips I found on Youtube. For others, I used Quicktime to make screen recordings from Netflix. Astute observers may notice that the film is not streaming on Netflix. But when I use my Opera browser, it thinks I’m in Sweden, where Netflix has a somewhat different selection. I used MPEG Streamclip to trim clips and stills from what I had. The voiceover was recorded in ...

For my video essay I decided to take a scene from the movie 10 Cloverfield Lane, which I watched this week. I chose this movie for two reasons. 1) This movie has an extremely high rating on Rotten Tomatoes and I am a big fan of Rotten Tomato reviews 2) John Goodman is one of my favorite actors-he can play any role. In an attempt to become a movie director over the course of a single week I read the post on “How to Read a Movie,” and watched the Top 20 Cinematic Shots video, and Camera Angles and ...

Of all the different digital modes, I’m probably least familiar with video. I was glad to peek behind the scenes of some of the techniques used in film and other video production. Scene Analysis – 10 Cloverfield Lane I chose this movie because it was most recent on the list. I pulled up Night of the Living Dead initially, saw the black and white, and closed the tab – I guess I’m just spoiled with modern visuals. I used this program, OBS Studio, to do the screen and audio capture. It’s a pretty versatile program. How to Read a ...
Analyzing With Ebert: 10 Cloverfield Lane
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Hey, folks! This week I learned a lot about looking deeper into the visual aspects of films. I took a film studies class last semester and loved it so I was ready to roll with it. First off, I watched a video that drew me in with its scandalous title: Hitchcock Loves Bikinis. What I took away from that video was the importance of shot/reverse shot patterns. If you show a person smiling then flip to a shot of what they’re smiling at, it can change what you think about them entirely. That’s the beauty of film! Just one single ...
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Went Crazy Analyzing a Movie
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Hello everybody! This week I was tasked with a couple of readings and watchings. In this post, I will reflect on all of these. SO STRAP IN. To begin this week I read Roger Ebert’s “How To Read A Movie” article. I found this article very interesting, especially Ebert’s strong axis theory which demonstrates that placement in shots has a deeper meaning. What really resonated with me about this article is the fact that Ebert taught himself movie analysis. I relate to this as for the most part I self teach myself various skills (e.g. audio, video and movie editing). ...

*Let me tell you someone rated this 2 stars and unless you edit 6-10 minutes of video everyday of your life, “this is NOT a 2 star assignment.” So I took it upon myself to make it right up the alley of 4 stars. in which sounds a lot better. Anyway I did “Video Essay” Video Assignment. In this assignment bank we had to grab a video and make comment about several things in these films. I grabbed a documentary called “Superheros,” in which was about real life superheroes. Due to copyright reasons I can’t post the original video. I had ...
