My overall experience in this film 150 class was interesting. The timing of lecture and my labs to begin with were out of the norm of my usual morning and afternoon classes. The lectures had their boring moments but also taught me a lot such as the framing concepts in movies and lightning. It helped me develop an eye for analyzing films in a new perspective. Now I'm not just watching a movie but really appreciating the work the director and editors put into producing the film.
I had hoped for more hands on assignments in lab especially with cameras. What better was to learn about the frame concepts but to shoot them yourselves? For the photoshop assignment it was a challenge being our time was limited to actually work being my only access to photoshop was in class. The lecture on lenses was also interesting because I've always been intrigued by photography but never had a real intellectual discussion on it.
The class provided a lot of information which at some points were a bit overwhelming being there were very few quizzes with a lot to know on them. Even for this final I feel overwhelmed being there were no physical notes really taken most of the time because the class is based off slides. In conclusion I took this course as a prerequiste to declare a major in media studies so hopefully it was a sneak preview for a more hands on experience with more specificity as oppose to a broader sense of the film industry and what it's made of.
