Preparing for Film

Actors: I'm planning on working by myself and with Max, a friend of mine.

Costumes: I'm probably going to be wearing a white dress shirt, black tie, and fedora (which we can get from a thrift store). Max is probably going to wear just casual clothing since this is supposed to be a parody

Props: Office lamp and old rotary phone and typewriter. Some papers and manila folders.

Locations: Max's house

Dates and Times: February 7th send Max the first draft of my script so he has an idea of what he's going to do. February 15th start filming in Max's house

Scripts: The script is not completed yet since I'm still trying to make it funny while also keeping the film noir style of talking as well.

Film Equipment: Filming is going to be on my phone but since I don't have a tripod so we're probably going to try to make a tripod out of the stuff we can find, or borrow one if one of our friends has one.

Mise-En-Scene in Goodfellas

Showing how Henry must keep his connection to the mob a secret or else he is in danger of getting him arrested or worse, killed. Also, since the film is a mob movie the use of low-key lighting throughout the movie helps give off the dark, gritty, and secretive life of a New York gangster. The use of showing dark sha...

Camera Angle Review of Avengers: Infinity War

Movie: Avengers: Infinity War (2017)  Director: Joe and Anthony Russo  Producer: Kevin Feige    As someone without easy access to movie streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, me finding this movie available for free on Xfinity On Demand came as a complete shock at first. As a fan of action movies and the Marvel Franchise since Iron Man 3, Infinity war has a special place in my heart. Not only is it an Avengers movie with an incredible talented cast of actors such as Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Elizabeth Olsen. The use of Thanos as the main protagonist really subverts the "all-powerful villain that must be stopped at all costs trope."  Oh and spoilers if you haven't seen this amazing film yet The first scene in the movie that I would like to comment on is the beginning of the New York City fight. The sheer size of the spacecraft crashing into New York City represents the literal and metaphorical gravity of the situation. Thanos's ch...
