AMINATA

When I first arrived at the lecture I did not know what to expect. Was it going to be a boring lecture that would not interest me? The first thing I noticed was her interesting sense of fashion. She was dressed in very bright colors and you could tell immediately that she would be energetic. I loved the interaction she had with the audience and how she spoke to them. She was creating a connection with the audience which made the lecture even more interesting. I liked hearing about her experience in Afghanistan and how the tactics she used to capture some of the shots like the carrot one. I also liked how proud she was of her work and that she told us how long it took her to get all of the shots for Cameraperson. She made the lecture really interesting and I paid attention through the entire thing. When she would say something I would search it up to get a visual of what she was talking about. like when she said she went on the adventure to find the blimp with Bill Binney, it took me a ...

Interview With William where he talks about his love for film and creativity

Aminata Jaiteh Movie: After The scene I am writing about is the scene when the two main characters Tessa and Hardin are in the library. The filmmaker uses a lot of different shooting angles to portray the scene of adventure and the fast pace of the scene. She first starts with an extreme closeup shot. She uses medium and long shots that follow the characters as they run through the library. the camera moves with them and it gives the viewer the sense that we are running with them. I notice a depth of field in the shot when they are running from the security guard. the two are in focus while running and you can see the blur of the security guard in the back with his flashlight. the shots are organized in a continuous manner. it makes it feel like it is a continuous movement instead of being choppy and have jump cuts. the producer also does shots from different angles we can see the environment and realize where they are. when Tessa is in class and the teacher is giving the lecture,...

Walking through third avenue in the Bronx there are a frenzy of sounds. All coming together and becoming one, but that only happens if you don’t listen closely. Once you open your ears to the sounds, keynotes, you notice that each sound is different and they each have their own unique characteristics. The first thing I hear is the wheels of the train scraping against the tracks as it approaches the stop, then you hear the unique ding of the train doors before the system tells you to stand clear of the closing doors. On the platform, it is very loud, Kids in circles talking and yelling of excitement. You hear the swipe of the MetroCard as it goes through the turnstiles. And the stomping of feet against the stairs as people run to catch a bus they know they will miss. Once out of the train station you are on the street, honking horns, the sound of people selling their products, and the sound of music blasting from a store or from someone carrying their own personal speaker, usually rap ...
