According to last three weeks. We have been learned lots of technical stuff about film making and more logical things. I quite like the way to analyze different films and different scenes. Mr. Robin explained lots of detail of camera angle and film language. He teaches us a lot.

On Monday, we analyzed 6 clips. One clip I remembered is that the NIGHT TRAIN. The director is very smart and he got a perfect plan of performing, camera position and set up everything. It is very interesting that they filmed in a very narrow room on the train. When the woman looking outside of the train. She squinted her eyes then the camera turns back into the train face to the woman, then cut to the woman looking to the mirror. It makes the audience feel like the camera is the mirror and the woman’s face to the audience. It is quite an interesting part I thought. And also it is a very important technical we should learn from.

On Thursday, we were talking about exercise 2 which is to use our own way and own understanding to film the scripts that Robin provided. I have done lots of filming staff before. So I feel it is not that hard for me. But the difficult thing is that to find actors. I asked my grandparent about it when I went to my grandma’s house. They were interested in filming things. I told them to make a conversation with a newspaper. And I told them they can say whatever they want. Firstly, I made an English version. I used an AI voice-over but it feels not that good. In the second version, I used the original sync sound. The meaning of the two dialogs is different but it feels more real. And also I learned different understanding of the scripts from each other.
