For our elective term, I was in a class called Ollywood. Since it was only for 5 weeks we had 1 unit. I learned many things in this class. One of the things I learned is that you don't need expensive equipment to make a movie; for example, there is a short film called Framed that was shot just from an iphone 4s. We also learned what a Production designer, Executive producer, and many more movie roles are and what each does. What we had to do for this AP is choose a movie to watch, watch it, then make a video explaining why we liked it or hated it. We had to analyze the lighting and what edits were good or bad about it. I had two partners for this, MN and GS; you should check out their blogs. What I like about this project was watching my favorite movie, Saving Private Ryan, and looking and finding how and what edits were good. What was hard for me was recording because I don't like my voice when I hear a recording of it.
