SO. This blog shall be about my reaction to first class. Just analyzing at the photograph, At the Time of the Louisville Flood, may have been one of my favorite parts of class. I rarely take the time to fully analyze a photo. Sometimes I refrain because I like the initial feeling I get when I see something, and if I were to fully analyze it would completely change my perception. I also enjoyed the exercise we did with the beginning of Apocalypse Now. Since watching that clip and several others, I am convinced that analyzing sound is my favorite part of understanding a film. I was given the task to pay close attention to the sounds that were featured in the movie, and assess how well they played with the scenery. I noticed that the more I tried to focus solely on the sound, the more overwhelmed I felt because there were so many crashing sounds. Most movies that I watch I pay attention to the music that is played because I am an avid fan of movie soundtracks. I just think that sound carries a movie and if they don’t match, you don’t want to pay attention or get frustrated like when the sound doesn’t match up with the pictures of the screen.
