Class Evaluation

Class Evaluation

1. In general, what did you like most about this class?
Alex Leo <3

Also just...making films. Using the equipment. Learning the software, all that jazz.

2. In general, what did you like least about this class?
Alex Leo >:(
Also, honestly, the final project (see below).

3. What were your most favorite project and least favorite project and why?
Favorite project - short narrative. I like writing fiction. I also wish I had done something for my free project, but I used my SkillsUSA project for that instead.

Least favorite project - the final (color) project. I just couldn't figure out what I even remotely wanted to do with that project, and so I procrastinated. I really feel like the final should be an actual short (read: 15-20 minute) film, but it's not my class. ;P

4. Do you feel that this class will help you achieve your future academic or career goals? How or why (or why not)?
God I hope so. I'm going into a Video Production class knowing some actual software skills. Hopefully that helps me.

Deuces!

Reality TV

Three things I didn't know:
1. Reality TV is watched together with families.
2. Many adults don't want to watch shows written for children.
3. The show SWAT had a great theme song.

Two opinions:
1. Ugh, reality shows. No thanks. I'll watch literally anything else.
2. That SWAT theme song is pretty great.

One question:
1. Why don't people watch more entertainment that isn't on television, like stuff on YouTube?

You Think Your Film was a Challenge?

Three Things I Didn't Know:
1. Aleksandr Petrov’s 1999 adaptation of Hemmingway’s The Old Man and the Sea was the first animated film released into IMAX theaters.
2. The film is essentially stop-motion with paintings.
3. The film took over 2.5 years to fully animate.

Two Opinions:
1. I looked this up on YouTube and watched some of it. Holy. Crap. I can't even imagine animating this. It's paintings, but...a lot of them. A LOT of them.
2. I'm glad this won an Oscar.

One Question:
1. Why would you ever choose to do it this way?
