this article is titled, "end of film: paramount first studio to stop disturbing film prints" and the title is self explanatory.
while reading this article i learned that in the first time in film history, paramount pictures has become the first major studio to stop releasing movies on film in the united states. i learned some other studies might want to abandoned film as well. lastly i learned that digital media instead of film is the easier and less expensive route to follow anyways.
some opinions i have about this article is that it was very well put. also they should have added insight quotes from directors on this huge topic.
i have no questions towards this article.

this week i'm still learning how to use my time wisely. theres so much going on that its difficult to produce films. i've learned the process of it all is very time consuming. lastly i learned about lighting and all that involved with it. theres more to it than just a bright light.
what i would love learning more is how to film with different lights. I'm not so sure how to use light in appropriate places yet. also I'm still not good with writing scripts yet and i could improve.
my link of interest this week is a new advertisement technique for horror movies coming into the theaters. this one is for devils due and it got over thousands of views in just a day. it really does look like an awesome movie! go and check it out for yourself!

this week i have learned how stressful this whole filming process really is. i learned that i really need to manage my time well and get everything prepared on time. the production process itself takes a lot of efforts. its more than just holding a camera and pointing it at the actor. although theres a lot of work involved, it was still so much fun and i loved it.
what i would love learning more about in the future is more about the camera. i would also love to learn more about better ways to write a script because i was a little lost when i had to make mine.
my link of interest this week is a link about one of my favorite directors, Alfred Hitchcock. he directed so many great horror films of the 1990s. if you never seen one of his films i advise you to check him out! his movies really brought horror and elements of story to the film industry.
