First Post

My first favorite movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I love the idea of it, the characters, and the overall feeling. Matthew Broderick I think was perfect for the role and made Ferris Buller an icon. Additionally, super funny and I really like comedies. Because of this, another one of my favorite movies is Zoolander. Although it's kind of silly, I think it's absolutely hysterical and Ben Stiller is really funny. I't's one of those super quotable movies where the one-liners are very memorable. Finally, Another one of my favorite movies is (500) Days of Summer. I love how creatively it plays with the concept of time, and the soundtrack to it is fantastic. Also, I love Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel and thought they worked well together. The way they incorporated the cartoon element in that one scene with Joseph Gordon Levitt was really creative and cool.

In film studies, I hope to learn how to make well done movies because whenever I've had to make movies for class they have always been really poorly done. Also, I think that it will be interesting to learn about all of the little things that go into making movies since I don't really know how movies are made.

I'm not really sure what kind of movies that I'm trying to make. I'm more interested in the artsy aspect of movies instead of the dialog films, so maybe something more visually based. This appeals to me because I think for shorter films you can really focus in on the decisions made like lighting and music. In order to do this, I would like to focus in on all of the fine tuning to create something that I like.
