    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    When conducting an interview for the American Film Institute, actor Jeff Bridges, discussing 1941's Citizen Kane, said its director was "twenty-five years old, and he didn't know what he couldn't do...and Greg Toland gave him all the confidence in the world (2011, 0:28 sec.). Bridges was of course talking about the late, great Orson Welles. But who was Greg Toland? Well known in Hollywood at the time, Toland was a longtime cinematographer who had not only won an Academy Award for 1939's Wuthering Heights, but more importantly, had a unique unorthodox style and "was a devoted rebel against the conventions and rituals of big studio filmmaking" (Carringer, 1982, pp. 652-653). Needless to say, when the rookie filmmaker and veteran cameraman got together, movie magic was in the air. Indeed, their collaboration would result in a cinematic spectacle…

    Some conceal their differences while some use their differences to an advantage. From a young age Burton has directed unique films. A great example of this is his 1982 Hansel and Gretel, which aired only once due to the strangeness in its entirety. Burton uses non-diegetic sounds, low key lighting, and long shots in his work to display how one who overcomes his fear of being different has the potential for success.…

    Brubaker Movie

    • 313 Words

    Brubaker, in my opinion, does a great job of portraying the past need for progressive reform in prisons. The advertisement of the movie does a great job of ruining the surprise move to warden by Brubaker though. It takes the punch out of the climax of the movie. Brubaker has a great story, but it leaves the viewer with many unanswered questions, mostly coming from a lack of character development. Even with a lack of telling the characters’ stories I think Brubaker serves its purpose well, by giving a fictional, but rather historically accurate, depiction of the horrible condition of pre-reform…

    The movie Big Daddy would be a great movie to choose to watch when observing parenting. This movie demonstrates how someone, who has no idea of what it is like to have children, plays the role of a parent. It all started when a person from child services dropped Julian of at Sonny’s apartment. He agrees to take care of the little boy and adopt him because he believes that his girlfriend, Vanessa, will have a pronatalism attitude about this adoption and that will help prove to his girlfriend that he can be a mature adult. Having a pronatalism attitude about Sonny adopting the kid would be that she is very excited and positive about this adoption, but it turns out Sonny was wrong and she was not at all interested.
