weirded out

When i left class on Tuesday i have to admit i was still kind of shocked at the images that i saw on the screen. Well its been about a day and now that the shock has worn off a little i think i actually liked it. I really loved how at 11 years old Jonathan new how to set up the right lighting and new the best place to shoot his skit of the "crazy women". He is a very brave individual to actually let viewers into his reality and what he had to deal with growing up.

i really liked the part of the four images on screen with the music and the movie snippets incorporated into them. i also liked his use of light, and the dullness of the pictures when there were emotional parts. I cant believe that this movie only cost pennies to make. The shot that i found to be very endearing in a way, was the long shot of his mother at the end. To me i felt like he was trying to have us really take a good luck at her just being silly and playful like some "normal people". Its just so sad that these people are in a constant state of damnation all the time.

  1. That most of us have the basic tools with which to make a film is really --- well inspiring. Do you need more than software, though?
