The Little Things Happening.

In every industry there are many different kinds of roles to be met, different archytypes to be played in order to make the system run smoothly. Even in the film indusrty there are little things that can be blown into proportion that can create all types of chaos. This one is insignificant if compared to the rest. So the Oscar security officers are going to strike at the Dolby theathre on Friday. Their reason being, they do no belong in a "union" and they should. Even though this is a minor topic in relation to the whole film industry I believe little disputes like this should be handled early and the filmmakers such as myself need to learn how to handle disagreements and disputes so that we would be prepared in the industry. Talent is important but what is more important is the people skills we are going to need to handle other people. Filmmaking isn't an individual thing but it is a machine and each of us needs to work together in order to achieve our goals-- to make a movie and GET MONEY...and GET FAMOUS! As a filmmaker little things like this should be noticed and we have to learn how to handle tense situations.

Who needs a good story when you have S-HD-P! (SUPER HD PIXELS)

Pixels to a feature movie is like the granite to a great drawing. If you though Blu Ray was cool and very high def. wait until you see what Dolby and Sony have in store. In the article 'Better Pixels' it talks about the debate in which the problem is to raise the current standard of quality of pixels not by four times but eight times as much. Bill Taylor, five-term governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, says that he sees, "unlimited expressive potential" for the higher quality of a better pixels. Better pixel technology means a mixture of higher resolution meaning more pixels and faster pixels-- with higher "dynamic range (HDR)" meaning greater color range including "brightter and darker colors." I am excited that in my film class we might receive better cameras that shoots in slightly better quality than the one we have in possesion, imagine how excited I am for these "super pixels" to be developed in the future. As HD T.V.s are becoming the norm for this every developing country I belive the introduction of these "super pixels" will change the industry due to the options that can be opened up by this innovation.

T.V. and Movies

Who knows what Comcast is? This is the first time I have ever heard of this cable company. The only ones I have ever heard of is Time Warner (this is what I am currently subscribed to), AT&T, Fios, and Direct TV. It seems that Comcast has purchased Time Warner Cable. It was a surprise to me because I have never heard of Comcast. It is said that the merger of these two groups will have a big impact in the industry. Now this raises the question what companies in the film industry will merge and create a megacompany that will rival all other companies. As a filmmaker I am troubled that such a thing could happen, no one likes monpolies. As a student studying filmmaking I have no clue about the technicallites of mergers of companies, but as long as there is still an industry to work at-- I guess I would be fine.

How Easy Is It to Connect to a Film

Filmmaking is a hard art. One isn't typically inclined by "rules" to accomplish a great film. It really all just depends on the imagination of the people working together on the film. Typically the cinematographer, the director, and the editor are the major players in which the outlook and initial product of the film will turn out. But what is most important in making the film is how the connection these players have with the film that they are making. The connection is more important because if a cinematographer is truly invested in a film and can easily connect to a character like in the movie “Captain Philips” then the movie will come out to be better. In this article they say that because a film is based on a true story then it is easier to connect to the character. It has more authenticity. The article says that “its easy to make a fictional character” but, having a character that is real feel like it is more alive. So, in regards to this, will there be more upcoming movies that is based on a true story? As a filmmaker I personally like making up characters. But if a real character presents itself to me will I take the role of making it come to life in the big screen?
