My name is Mark Rubin and I am a Radio-Television-Film major. I have been looking forward to coming to college and studying film production for quite some time. Now that we have started it feels unreal!
I am taking this class to open new doors in my RTF journey. This is my ticket to more advanced classes and a better comprehension of the industry overall. By taking this class I hope to be able to view movies from many perspectives instead of just the ones I am familiar with. For instance, when it comes to film and television, I am most familiar with the technical sides of production. As I watch something, I may think about what shooting and editing techniques were used in the combination and overlap of different shots, or how sound synchronizes with movement. I try to envision how the sequence might look on the time line of Final Cut, and what I might have done differently to better articulate the presented idea. I examine shots and take note of how different camera angles reflect the mood of the story, or affect the audiences' feeling of the subject.
While this viewing perspective is helpful in making every film I watch a 'production workshop', I want to broaden my horizons with this course, and examine new aspects of media I have yet to explore. Surely there is more to media than technical production....
A blog I enjoy is JakeandAmir.com, a video blog of entertaining shorts produced by College Humor.
And some media of my own:
