....[*[Some Film Stuffs]*]....

I never got the hang of watching silent plus Black and white films but I guess I had to.. I ever imagined that I would watch a movie just to take note of all the technicalities like film form, style, cinematography, mise-en-scene and other things. It was hard for me to detect several cuts, what kind of lighting was used, what kind of shots, how long was the take, from what angle was it shot... (guess I'm bombarding you with technicalities.. I'm just giving you a feeling of shock.. like what I felt initially.. lolz) but I can't do anything about it coz it was a requirement to finish Film 100.. XD

But apart from that, I still felt lucky that I was able to watch the very first films! (coz we started from there, those 3 minute thingies) Aside from the very first films, I was also able to see the greatest film of all time like Citizen Kane plus those revolutionary and representative movies from all sorts of montage and classical hollywood cinema.. I just hope we'll get to contemporary cinemas soon...

so far.. we've watched:
1. First Films (can't name them, too many)
2. Wizard of Oz (Judy Garland)
3. Birth of a nation (narrative cinema)
4. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (german expressionism)
5. Un Chien Andalou (french surrealism)
6. Citizen Kane (top 1 - greatest movies of all time)
7. Battleship Potemkin (soviet montage)
- i fell asleep in the middle
8. Bicycle thief (italian neo-realism)

Next in line will be Jean Luc Godard's "Breathless" plus we're required to do a paper on "Brokeback Mountain" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", can't wait to watch them! Although I'm not sure I could do a very good technical review on those films!

Just wanted to share some bits and pieces.. hahah! I just wish I'll realize the difference between a crane shot plus other shots.. lol

well truth is.. I wrote this out of desperation.. any experts on these things? HELP!!! ^_^
