When we watched La Jetee last week I found the movie to be interesting for several reason. First I have never seen a movie that was made up of still shots before and I think this movie will always stand out to me because of that. Also because the characters them self didn't talk, you you really had to watch everything so closely to understand their emotions. When we talked about the distant voices that you couldn't make out, I found that it was a little uncomfortable because you were trying so hard to make out what they were saying or even what language they were speaking and you just couldn't. I think they did a really good job with that because I think it was to show you how uncomfortable it was for the main character they were experimenting on. I also liked the part where the woman was sleeping and it went from the stills to real time. Overall I have never seen a movie like this and I found it very interesting.

I also watched the re-cut movie trailers, and found the one for the shining very funny. I have seen all three movies and they way the music and the narration changed the genre of the movie was incredible. But I don't think Mary Poppins or West Side Story will ever be the same for me lol.

  1. When we look at the next film, pay attention to the way music and sound (dialog, etc) are used. I want you to become familiar with looking for/seeing elements of film that you usually miss...
