Poor Training Video



This video is not very effective because this person doesn't even teach you how to set up the drums step by step. This guy forgot to show a step by step process in the making of the drum set. I've learned to be very thorough in the process of making an instructional video.

Silent Film in the Bay

Silent films in the Bay area really helped continue the genre of the Cowboy/Western movies and T.V shows. Like  The Great Train Robbery. (1903) Broncho Billy Anderson after this made his own westerns and acted in them and teamed up with George K. Spoor to for the S and A Film Manufacturing Company in Chicago.

nickelodeon to movie theaters!

The first electric theater was in Los Angeles in 1902. Middle and Lower classes had only bought tickets to nickelodeons but the wealthy upper class had only gone to movie theaters. Movie theaters became to great because it was like a normal theater with hundreds of people in it at once except there was a projector on the screen. Many people started to like the theatrical aspect of the movies so they made more of them.

Instructional videos

The making of the pancake video was the worst one. There was way too much talking and the lady was kind of doing it wrong in the beginning. The how pringles are made video was the best one. There was a lot of clear and concise detail and you got to see it in action. Every other was in between. Heavy on entertainment and not so great with the step by step process.

Hollywood Then and Now

I think Hollywood lost most of its nature. There were lots of trees lost for businesses. This idea spread to new jersey and south carolina because people wanted money. People in power wanted to control everything so they set everything up in a way that lots of businesses, and roads to get to those businesses so that people would see them everywhere and be drawn to those businesses.

Birth of A Nation: Review

Griffith used many things in this film to make it great. He had great organization with people and made large masses of individuals do things on camera to make seem more real and entertaining. He used his own orchestra soundtrack making this movies the first ever to even have a soundtrack. The white audience agreed with this movie. The african american audience had to deal with lots of discrimination already. But because of this movie, it helped make more laws of segregation.

Abandoned LA

I think this person was trying not exposing quickly to make LA look like its completely empty. I think they were trying to get the audience to see LA from a different perspective. Without people in the city. In class I've learned that if you don't expose quickly then you don't have them moving image.

The earliest films

The early films have things that modern films don't have. They carry something from a time that none of us lived in, so to us it seems like a different society when we get to see an early film. modern movies are different because we've already been filming for quite sometime, we kind of KNOW what to film. For an early film, its interesting because its like they are discovering WHAT to film.
