Through this course I have learned a lot.  I have learned that there is many elements to the film making process.  for instance lighting and sound technique.  There is also the different camera angles and special effects used in films.  I had never realized how much directors editors roles were so important.  In film actors are the prominant figures in film, but with out the other people (editor, screenwriter0 movies would not be possible.  Film has change a lot over the years we have gone from black n white film to color, no sound to sound and a lot more.  Acotrs have change over time and their roles in film.  Film has also become more open with sexuallity and language content.  Some of the accomplishments in film from 1960 to now is the rating system and actor ganing more independence over what films they will do.  Significant films through out the years were American Graffiti, all the Star Wars films, Titanic, Sex, Lies and Videotape, and mant more.  The only movie critics I remember are Siskel (deceased now) and Ebert.  Marketing for films is a huge part there are commercials, posters, traliers and the internet has be big for the advertising of films.  I have learned alot from this class.  I notice that I do see films a little different.  I see more digital effects and different film shots.  I take more notice of who is directing the film and what othr films are like the one I am seeing.  i still only watch movies for fun and don’t plan on doing anything different.
