zoom


zoom is an aplication that the most of the cameras have , this aplication it's used if we want to see a scene very close (if we are far from it), the zoom will allow us to see a scene so close that you'll feel that realy you are near the scene .
you can imagine camera without zoom? before editing people didn't used shots and angles that now we see in movies , they most commun was the wide shot , now if we see films only in wide shot would be bored , here the zoom is important because we can have shot of a very close object whithout been so close to it .

the schindler's list


One week ago we were watching a movie called the the Schindler list , this movie was about a man called Schindler's List who wanted to save the jews because they were being killed. For him people was so important and he doesn't care about all the money that he would spent on they , they bought all the jews thay he could. this movie is based on real life a man called Oskar Schindler existed and all the suffering in jews too .
This movie was created in 1993 it's not so old but why the colors are black and white? is a question that most of my friends asked , the answer is that they wanted the movie to look like a documentary because the story is real .
In this movie we could see many shots like extreme close -up ( when people were typing) also over the shoulder shot ( at the begining )
wide shot and many more. this movie is good example if we want to learn about shots and angles because in this film are very clear to learn .
This movie gives us a life lesson we should not kill the life of a human being we have no right to do it only God

thomas edison

thomas edison was who created the kinetoscope , the black mariah and sprocket holes .
the kinetoscope was like a bog box in which you put your eye in a hole and you can see a motion of many images this invention had many desadvantages
1) was individually
2) didn't had sound
3) shorts films

another invent was the black mariah , was the first movie studio located in new jersey, the studio didn't had roof because they need the sunlight to film, the cameras only moved foward and backward and the cameras use electricity .

psycho



This movie was one of the best in 1959-1960 .
This story begin when mary go to a motel , to sleep because she was so tired .
The owner of the motel was a good person .
In the night the woman take a shower and someone ( a killer) came to the shower and kill her .
After this death people that were around the motel and the mansion were killed.
This movie is a mystery because no one know who kill the woman and the other people many people think that is the mother of the man ( the owner of the motel ) because he said that his mom was crazy , that had a mental problem ,etc.
This movie was a hit in that time because they had not seen scenes like the shower in which a woman dies , this scene created scared to people because they were afraid because they don't know if when they take a shower someone could come and kill him .
this film is recognized by the sound of the shower(when the killer kill the woman ), is a classic .when I saw this film I found it boring because compared to now is totally different.
but when I had to analyze it I realized that at that time was the best and people didn't saw scenes like that in other films

the notebook


Im going to write about the notebook.
This summer love began when allie and noha meet amusement park.
Noah had a crush at first he saw allie he said that she have to be his girlfriend and he do all the things that he can .
Finally he get what he wanted , allie and noah was dating few years later they meet.
But the problem in this love story is that when the summer ends allie was back to the university .
Noah write every day letter to her but she never get the letter because her mom hid the letters.
were reunited years later but she was engaged.
This story is so beautiful because leaves us the message that we must fight for what we want and you can met more people but when the person that belongs to you no matter how many years go at the end they end up together.
