Coolest Person On the Planet: RAY VILLAFANE
Fun Things You Can Do With Legos
Actual Movie Critique
I loved our movie. The prompt was perfect and led to an amazing plot line that was creative, different and had nothing to do with relationships. Our story was about a girl who carved a pumpkin, and then that pumpkin and its pumpkin friends got mad about what that girl had done so they followed her until the army of pumpkins cornered her with a knife, about to carve her.
This was like the prompt because it was a turn of events, a story from the perspective of what we kill everyday fighting back unexpectedly. The choice of no dialogue and having it be in black and white gave the movie a very old time feel, like it was a back then horror film. The choice of no dialogue was also important because words in some sense can make or break a movie, and because it was only the girl and the pumpkin who were focused on, the sound in the background only would have taken away from the story, same as if we had added any extra characters, it would have caused the movie to be too long and make it go off course from the real meaning and story.
The movie was executed amazingly and our group worked pretty smooth together, so the whole experience was really an enjoyable one! I thought our movie was the best out of everyones because it was clean, on point, made sense and really stuck to what the prompt was in an clever way.

Movie Project Critique
For the movie project that we had, I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot. Normally projects like these are stressful, you can never get together, people argue, the prompts are pointless and stupid, and most of the ending substance is super crappy. This project was most of the time none of that. The choice of Esop Fables for the prompts was a clever choice because they are deep and can be interpreted in many different ways, making lots of different movies.
By letting us have plenty of time in class and supplying us with cameras made making the film a ton easier. Another thing that was smart to do was not letting people pick there own groups and making sure there was a tech person in each group because that caused people to actually work instead of constantly talking and let each group had someone who knew what they were doing involving editing and computers. The project was fun and exciting, and I would recommend doing it again.
