Reflection on the reading and viewing (module 8)
I found the reading to be interesting. I never really thought about how much movies use digital techniques. It seemed by the reading that pretty much every movie uses some form of digital enhancing. Whether it is to make the crowd look bigger or to fix a building that has been destroyed for years. I guess I’m uses to seeing the images and never really think about them being digital. There are the obvious digital effects, for instance in the movie we watched for this module.
Star Wars: Episode II-Attack of the Clones is all digital. The actors must of spent most of their time acting in front of a green screen. The movie was ok. I have never really been a huge fan of the Star Wars movies but they are some thing to see. I wonder if the actors find it hard to act to a green screen when they are suppose to be talking to a individual. For instance when Jar Jar Binks is talking to the senator. It’s also amazing at how real things look. I mean I know that it is being created by a computer but some of the things they create are very real looking.

It is interesting how many movies are strictly digitgal, such as Mission Impossible. I watched and interview of Keri Russel and she was speaking about action scenes and how she was impressed when she saw the film finished

Sarah,
I never really though about how much the actors must have worked in front of a green screen for this movie. Your right it must have been for most of the time that they were filming. i was never really a big Star Wars fan either but I do like the new ones a lot.

I wonder how tough it is as an actor to work in front of a green screen for most of the film. I think that it would be extremly difficult with nothing to base your scenes around. I wonder how much the actors and actresses like digital?
