Evolution of Film Continued...
The process of the development of sound and talking in movies is fascinating. It was cool being able to see the first Vampire movie Nosferatu and to see some of the effects that were used with shadows and acting. I really enjoyed watching the clip from Battleship Potymkin. The camera point of view changed so much and i felt like it gave the movie a lot of depth by using the camera shots with close ups and from the point of view of the victims. Seeing the form the movie took of the montage was so fluid and made me really appreciate how much sound and music can impact what we watch.
Singing in the Rain is one of my all time favorite musicals and it was really fun to be able to watch it in class. I love Gene Kelly and his dancing skills!! Now that we are watching the development of talking pictures, I have a whole new appreciation for the movie! It was also such a treat to see clips from Casablanca! I have been wanting to see it for a long time and now I definitely will have too, it is definitely on my list for the next blockbuster night:)
