Blog Post #8: Camera Movement Practice

Imagen
   A practice on camera movement was necessary for the further development of cinematographic techniques that are used in Media production. This practice helped me differentiate between one movement or technique and another (like Zoom and Dolly Shot), and how every one of these movements connotes different emotions with no need for dialogue or guidance. (Because of Blogger.com limitations, I was not able to upload any of the videos on camera practice I recorded) Reflection This project helped me significantly in differentiating all of the camera movements and the effects they provoke in the audience. Some of the movements, like the tilt, suggest a revelation, something is being introduced to the viewers, which gives importance to the subject in that specific scene. The most fun movement was the Handheld, which gives a lot of freedom to the cameraman to walk along the subject or the action itself; this one feels less controlled than the other movements. However, the most chall...

Blog Post #1: Welcome to My Blog!

About  me :   My name is Gabriel Alvarez; I’m 18 years old. My first language is Spanish since I was born and lived in Cuba most of my life. My childhood was very influenced by family and friends; I grew up with my grandparents and my mom, and most of my friends were close to me, sharing interests and preferences. All of them helped develop in me a significant affinity for music, video games, and fantasy-related movies. At the age of 16, I came to the United States.

I'm enrolled in the Key Club, a club that promotes community service and provides a long list of community-focused activities. I really liked to join this club because I alw...

Blog Post #7: Subverting Rom-Coms: How 50 First Dates Sets Originality

Imagen
  “50 First Dates” is a romantic-comedy that follows many typical conventions of the genre but also breaks some of them in a unique way. Like most rom-coms, it starts with two characters meeting under lighthearted circumstances, uses humor to build their relationship, and focuses on whether they can overcome a major obstacle to be together. The film uses bright colors, warm lighting, and tropical Hawaiian scenery and mise-en-scene to keep the tone cheerful and relaxed, which is very common in rom-coms that aim to make the viewer feel comfortable and entertained. However, the movie starts breaking conventions through repetition in the visuals, like Lucy waking up in the same outfit, doing the same morning routine, and visiting the same café, showing how her memory resets every day. This adds a layer of seriousness not usually seen in the genre. The sound also follows typical conventions, using upbeat music, soft romantic songs, and playful dialogue to keep the movie fun and energet...
