[Teen/VVP] Breaking Down Components
On Thursday the 15th of February, we mostly spent the Machinima session watching different clips. I think everyone can say that they did learn something from that session because Chris and Meredith broke down different aspects of a movie, or aspects that a movie may contain, and showed it to us. They used different clips to show us how people use color, angle, shots and duration in the actual movie. I guess I liked how they taught it to us because they showed us a clip and asked about one aspect like color and then they showed us one that was very different. By the last clip we could identify most of the different aspects and so we could basically watch a clip and break down the different components. The movies were all pretty interesting—but I have probably only watched….four maybe? We didn’t get to watch one last clip though…it was a German movie—it wouldn’t load on Youtube. Oh well~ I guess. I thought the movie Psycho seemed pretty interesting; it may have been an old movie, but the plot seemed interesting. I think this was a good time for me to learn these things because I was actually watching some videos made by Torley Linden about making shots on SL—and the lesson Meredith and Chris gave coincided perfectly with that. So I guess, now all there is to do, is begin the production process—or do the actual filming…gather our props together…and etc. etc…. I’m glad we’re getting four straight hours to do that ^-^~
