What I learned about filming coverage is that it can be more difficult than it seems. During my experience of filming coverage we had to change settings about 4 to 5 times due to heat, distance from the classroom, noise, and echos. What was also difficult about it is while your filming in a specific are you sometimes get the occasional yelling in the background while you’re shooting. Not everything was in our groups control, so we had to have a longer take of a certain shot. The good thing about shooting coverage is that if you messed up you could start again and keep rolling. The editing portion is easier than shooting it, in my opinion. Overall, shooting coverage was a good learning experience.

The Thin Blue Line (Interviews)
- The technique “interview” was used to get to know each persons perspective and thoughts.
2. Morris chose to do interviews because it was like a case study for a crime that was committed. The technique proved effective throughout the film, because it gave the audience different perspectives.
3. Some techniques that I would use in my own film are re-enactments because they would add veneered visuals to the story a person is telling.

Film Screening #2-M
In the German film “M” revolves around the actions of a murderer killing children, and the search for him. Showing both police and the crime underworld throughout the film. One shot within the film involving the murderer, shows him turning his head to look at himself. This over the shoulder shot, reveals the murderers face in the mirror behind him showing the mark on his jacket. This element is very important due to the fact that now that he’s marked its going to be hard to for him to hide. This shot was well done and the acting was very funny in my opinion.

Screening #1
The silent film “The General” was very humorous and informative to say the least. Throughout the film, the main character Johnny Grey wants to be enlisted in the war, but is rejected due to the fact he is a valuable engineer. Union spies steal his train, The General, and throughout the movie he single-handedly goes on their territory to steal it back. The movie has very humorous moments, even though it’s a silent movie. The Stunts that were in the film were live stunts that weren’t props, but real dangerous stunts executed as if their weren’t any struggles. Johnny was sitting on the train’s coupling rods which easily could of pulled him in and killed him. Also the camera movements catching the moving train was steady and captured the image well. Overall, the film was executed very nicely and efficiently, making it a very interesting film to watch. I personally I loved it and appreciated it’s music choice and plot.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
