Serious Time #64 Left or Right?
This article explained a theory that has been in discussion for a while but never proven until now. The theory is that left to right movement on screen conveys positive feelings and emotions while right to left movement conveys a more negative emotion to the viewers. This was proven by showing a bunch of people 8 shots of a film from left to right then from right to left the response was what early directors like Hitchcock and such believed in that left to right is positive while right to left is more negative. This also apply's to if one thing is on one side of the screen, left equals bad right equals good. An example of this would be Gollum from The Lord of The Rings. The only question now is when you film will it be left or right?
I really enjoyed this article it was pretty interesting. I never knew about this until now and think it's very interesting when noticed in film. In my opinion the right to left just looks really wierd and awkward in most situations that they showed which I guess was the point, but I feel like films have done right to left that I have seen before and I never felt that way. I just think the idea and the overall way that it is used is very interesting and unique. I didn't really dislike anything from this article and it was also very straight forward. This article pertained to the film aspect of Digital Media. Overall very good article.

This week was pretty standard to be honest, nothing crazy really happened. I got my shooting for my fictional short almost done, key word is almost. I guess the biggest highlight right now is watching the Oscars which I am doing right now. I have not seen who has one best movie or best actor yet so I am just going to predict the Revenant or Mad Max for best film and Leonardo Di Caprio for best actor, come on guys just give the man a break. The only thing from the Oscars I have seen so far are Chris Rocks jokes about the Oscars so white thing, which I admit were pretty funny. But come on Chris you don't have to focus on it the entire night! It's like the people who run the show said "Every chance you get make a funny comment about the Oscars so white controversy. Remember that that's the only reason why you are here in the first place." All I am saying is he could've dropped it about where I am at right now into the show which is right where Mad Max has won best makeup. Anyways that is just my two sense on that. Now I think the only thing that frustrated me this week is the fact that I couldn't finish my filming this week. The hardest part about filming is probably getting actors which sucks but I digress.

I have three words for this... I want it. This thing is insane! This is probably going to be the next thing I get for movie making. It is everything I wanted in a camera. The only downside to this thing is the fact that it is really only really good for wide shots due to you not being able to zoom in with it, but that is why DSLR's exist.

Serious Time #70 Office Posture Matters?
So this video tells us the importance of posture when sitting down. It brings up statistics about how it increases the chance of a heart attack and other conditions. The video even brings up that exercising wont make up for it, so what will? Well posture of course! Just sit up straight! The video brings up many different possibilities as well to help the situation, like getting a standing desk or sitting in an active chair. The video also says that crossing your legs while sitting is also bad cause it can restrict circulation. In the end the video states to just pay attention to your body more through out the work day.
I video was okay. On the technical aspect it is great, it's short and gets to the point. I also though the animation was good. I just really didn't care in the end though to be honest. I feel this entire video was based on this one statistic on getting a heart attack and that's really it. I didn't see anything else further throughout the video why it's bad. Some people might see this video get scared and decide to buy a standing desk or so on, but the real question is is it all worth it? Their is nothing that proves anything about this heart condition stat. being higher other then that one study they mention in the video. I don't know, I just don't think it is as big of a problem as the video states it as. And hey maybe I am wrong and who knows I might have a 54% higher chance of getting a heart attack, but for now I guess I will take my chances. Overall, decent video.

This week was pretty good. I finally finished the competition, thank god! It is probably the project I have enjoyed the least in this class, hopefully this is the last thing like it in the class this year. But now that it is over I can now focus on what I feel will be the best project of the year, the fictional short. I am really excited to do this one and am also excited to see what everyone else does with it. It is the least restrictive project so far so I can only imagine to see awesome shorts from everyone! We didn't learn a whole lot this week because it was mostly work days, there was also that one day of shadowing, which wasn't really that bad. We have one more day of shadowing left now which is great, it just gets boring doing the same thing over and over again. Overall with getting all of that not so good stuff out of the way I am looking forward to everyone's fictional shorts in the future.

This video is amazing. That's the best word to describe it. I don't want to spoil too much for you but I will say that this is the actor from the dust off commercial about how it has changed his life. That is all I can say though. Now just WATCH!
