Sounds


we are learning about how to put sounds on a film
Sound are essential on a film because that capt viewers attention.
every sound that we heard maybe foot steps , papers , etc are sound that most of the time that sounds are recorder apart i mean in a studio .
can you imagine a film without sound and only listening the voices? it will be bored , so if we want to create a movie we have to fit the sound with the film.
if we need an scene in the environment and there's alot of noise we have to record the voices and sounds in a studio and the mix that on the film.

avatar

We saw this movie in our film class and was so cool because we could see many special effects , for example the color of the skin that the avatars have are blue and also a tail that was added when the editor was editing the film
The most common shots were close up and long shot i think that the director use this shots because he want that the viewers look the type of skin and eyes that this avatars have.
We can see more special effects when the avatars began fighting with the humans.
all the machine and army have speciall effects.
This movie is so perfect if we want to see something unreal and also if we want to see something new.
