Reflection on the module

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

It’s always interesting to read other classmates blogs.

Seeing something from another persons view is always important I think. For […]

Report on a resource about the reading

The website that I chose was called the 100 best foreign films.  If you wanted to know about a film it’s probably there.  There were films listed by some of the directors from the reading.  Some of which had come to America to make films.  It gave a quick overview about the movie and who directed […]

Report on a resource about a film element

Friday, February 24th, 2006

 
The two film elements that I chose to find a re source on was casting and hair and makeup. I found a website for a school that teaches you how to do hair and make up for the movies. It had some scary pictures of people made up like creatures and they could train you […]

The first film I furled was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.  I found a website called Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.  It talked about what kind of film it was and when it was released.  It also gives you a list of producers, writer and actors in the movie.  It had interesting facts about  how much the movie cost and that […]

When reading this chapter I found it interesting that other countries would rather see American films than films made in their own country. It even seemed like foreign actors and directors preferred making movies in the U.S. This country is definitely monopolizing on the small foreign film market. It always amazes me at how big […]

All the readings were done well and I noticed that most of the people liked Titanic and Waterworld.  I think that this module went over well and that people had positive things to say.  Were all different and it nice to see how other people think about the movies we watch

I can’t seem to get my furl’s public so here is the web site I visited http://www.titanicmovie.com/us/home.html

The epic voyage and the nautical nightmare. The only thing that these two movies had in common was their large budget and water. Other than that Waterworld never stood a chance to compare to Titanic.
Titanic makes a great movie for many reasons. It’s gives you this feeling of being on board the Titanic. We all […]
