What is a personal narrative? Is it important? What enters your mind when you think about it?

I think a personal narrative is a story told about yourself. Like an autobiography. A biography is a story told about an actual person. Autobiographies are stories told by YOU. I think A personal narrative is important because, it helps to get a first person point of view when listening to a story about another person. Its one thing to hear a story about someone else but another thing when that someone else Is telling you a story about themselves.

What Is a Film? What Is a Movie? What is a Video? Are They Different? Why?

I believe that films, videos, and movies are similar in some ways but also different. Movies are an hour or more usually. (sometimes shorter) Movies are shown in movie theaters. Films are normally just "short films" ranging between 10 minuets to 35-40 minutes. You don't get to watch these films in theaters. Videos are relatively short. about 3 seconds to 10 minuets. But I've seen things that were called "short films" or "short movies" on youtube about the same length as videos or movies. Movies are more official, made by larger and usually more famous companies. Films are more amateurish. Not that they aren't good cause I've seen my fair share of good and bad films and movies. But films to me seem like they are made by people who aren't really known so well by the general public. Videos can be made by anyone.

Overall I feel like they all have many similarities. They all can be good or bad. They all are made with cameras. They all require a time and effort in to making really great ones no matter what kind of film, video, or movie you are making.

Wall-E review

Wall-E is absolutely one of the most visually gorgeous movies from Pixar. The visuals, the music and the humanoid characters are what make this movie amazing. This movie has almost no dialogue in it. But that alone makes the movie that much more fun to watch. Watching the characters' actions throughout the movie makes you really feel like you have an emotional connection to the characters.

Overall, I never saw anything bad about Wall-E except for the romantic parts of the movie. (although I've never really enjoyed romance in movies anyway).
In general, the movie is fantastic and deserves 4 1/2 stars!!!

Why Are Movies So Magical? What Makes Them Special To You?

Motion pictures are one of the greatest inventions of all time. What makes them so special is that you can tell a story in a way where people can feel like they're i the movie. Movies are so magical and
beautiful because like any art you can say whatever you want to express yourself to connect with your
audience. But what makes movies so different than any other craft, is that you can put all of it together
as one. For a musician all they need is an instrument and a studio. For a singer they need they're voice
and maybe a couple glasses of water. An illustrator/painter would need a writing utensil and a canvas.
A dancer needs their bodies etc. But what makes film so special is that you can have a large team of
people that consists of smaller teams within it, that solely focus on one craft. In a film you NEED almost all of these to make it special. Movies can relate to anyone and everyone because it has so many crafts in one film. Every movie has almost every art in one motion picture so that it can say 100x one thousand words!

How Does Teamwork Effect Filmmaking? Why Is It So Important?

        Teamwork is essential in making any art, especially film. It is important because there is a lot more

 work you could get done with even just one extra person instead of by yourself. Great films like; Star

 wars, Tron: legacy, and Fast and the furious, Would take decades to finish! Even thousands of people

 to work on a film would take years to finish one film. (Depending on special effects of the movie.)

 Even if its a short 30 minute film, That would take months with a team of people. So doing short films

 by yourself would take probably the whole year maybe a little more. Its also easier to film with

 multiple people coming up with ideas to effectively shoot a film. So in conclusion, making a film is

 already lots of time with a team. So by yourself it would take much longer.

Why Is Vertical video A Bad Idea? Have You Taken One? Why?


Why Is Vertical video A Bad Idea? Have You Taken One? Why?

          Vertical videos are an absolutely awful idea because are our eyes horizontal and its really hard to watch videos or movies if you have to turn your head every single time you watch something. I personally do not remember even taking a vertical video EVER in my life. (Okay maybe once but that’s not important.)

What's your favorite movie and why?

            I  absolutely love Scott pilgrim: vs. The World! I love this movie because it has the perfect blend

 of action and comedy! I feel like it has a mix between Dragonball/Naruto and 21 jump street. If any

one loves action or comedy, (or if your like me, both) I would definitely  recommend this movie to

anyone and everyone! (Except small children though)
