Taking TV Production has change my view of film today. Now as I watch a film I notice the angles of each shot. The editing also stand out a lot to me. Random stuff sticks out to me, I now judge the filmmakers and point out stuff they could have made better. Personally I don't have an interest in film or editing, but taking this class is helping to understand film better. Stuff that never came through my mind while watching a film , now i can point them out easily. Film-making is hard work so I truly respect the filmmakers, because they put in hard work to make a story flow through images.

Bad Editing could ruin  a story easily and cost a lot. So I notice that filmmaker had to spend a lot of time editing each scene a make it presentable. Film-making and editing is an important job in the film industry.

I now understand that actors and actress are not the stars of a movie. The people that works behind the scene are the true stars of each film. The editors are the ones that spend most of their time after shooting to make sure the story flows right on screen.

TV Production class has changed the way I watch films, TV, and commercials in many ways. Now when I am watching action scenes I think of how they used cut-on-action. I also think about the 180 degree rule. Sometimes I think of ways that they could have edited it better to make the audience understand it more. I also think about all the angles that they used and how the angles affected the way the audience felt. Another thing that I think about is the music they used and the way it made you feel as you watched it. I now have a better understanding of how much time and effort it takes to make a good film.

Being in tv production has definitely changed the way I view media and television. Before taking this class, I never realized all of the different camera angles, sound effects, lighting etc put into a film. Now, while watching a movie or show, I can point out the film angles by name and realize the point of that certain angle. I also have started to may more attention to the sound effects and music that filmmakers use. They all have a certain part and purpose that make the film successful. I think taking this class causes you to appreciate the effort put into films because until now, I never put into thought how difficult time consuming films could be. Tv production has changed the way I view films and tv shows forever.

I enjoy learning all the different angles in movies or TV shows I watch. When I watch TV, I find myself thinking about all the angles we learned in class. I can distribute between a high angle to a low angle shot. One of my favorite projects in TV production class is making commercials. We have a great perspective of how filmmakers work. Some of my groups commericals aren't the greatest but we enjoy making these commercials and in time we improve. Our recent commercial, in my opinion, was one of my favorites. It caught our viewers attention which was the main point. Also, it brought out great emotion and we really grasped the concept of the project. In the beginning, the commercial projects were difficult because we needed to get our commerical time exactly at 30 seconds or our scenes were cut off. In the end its part of the learning experience and eventually we will be able to wow our viewers even more.

On the first day of school I walked into my TV production class and it went well, until Mr. Fagioli said “This class will change the way you watch movies and shows”, and I in my head laughed. Like seriously who was really going to pay attention to the way the camera angle was shot, or if the scene looked legit. I honestly thought that’s not even possible, until the day came where I sat down to watch a movie, and out loud I said ‘That’s a great over the shoulder shot’. It then hit me, my TV production class started to wear off on me I am actually critiquing a movie. So my first reaction was I have got to tell Justine. So I pulled out my phone and sent her a message that stated “I can’t believe Mr. Fagioli was right! I actually pay attention to the camera angle!?!” .I now, no matter what I am watching, will find something interesting to view such as a camera angle. TV production has positively changed my viewing of film.

Ever since I have been in TV Production class, it changed the way I watched film. The camera angles, the lighting, and editing all catch my eye. If I see or hear something that grabs my attention, I analyze and think back on how they did that and how I can improve on commercials and projects in the future. Before TV Production, I would just sit back and watch TV without paying attention to any of the camera work. I’ve realized that if I’m watching a movie that’s boring, I should not only focus on the main plot and action, but other special effects that other people usually wouldn’t focus on. Being in TV Production class really changed my point of view while watching film in a good way.

I definitely have a greater appreciation for all of the work that goes into creating even the simplest short video. When I'm watching commericals on tv, I now notice the different camera angles and how each shot is pieced together. I definitely notice the smooth transitions between shots. Before we actually had to create our own videos, I never understood what it meant when people called a film "choppy". But after experimenting with transitions on our own projects, I absolutely know now what they mean when they say that. I also am really impressed with how audio is used to evoke emotions. When I'm watching movies I notice camera shots, I notice the sound, I notice the story line, I notice the transitions between shots, and a million other little aspects of film-making. It has deffinitely changed how I view anything on tv.

T.V production has changed the way I watch films, television, and videos. For example, since I started taking this class I began to notice camera angles such as long angles, short angles, and close-up angles. Also on how those angles affect the outcome of the film or video. For instance, how close-up angle is used when a person is talking and how over the shoulder helps the audience believe that they are part of the action. Editing is a very important part of the film-making process. Editing is all about choosing which shots work superlative, and creating a rhythm and pace that replicate the quality of the story. And after the editing has been done, then music is created to sync with the film that is created. Let's say, you want a film to make you believe that something is terrible then they will play a song that goes with the story.

Since I've been taking this TV Production class, my work in here has changed the way I watch a film, television, and video. It has changed since last year when I took TV Production 1. Knowing how everything behind the camera works always looked easy to me, but it really isn't. It takes time, patience to make perfect. You have to make sure the editing is just right, the location, lighting, sound, etc. Whenever I see a film, or any having to do with the media I think to my, "that would've looked better a different way." Or sometimes you don't get what their trying to say, in other words their point isn't very clear. I use to never think of these things before, now I catch myself correcting their mistakes through my perspective. Overall, this has been a great experience and an awesome class. It sure has taught me so much more since TV Production 1. I've enjoyed producing, editing, and directing short films, from PSA'S to short commercials. Definently changed the way I see all kinds of media.

Ever since I have been in T.V. Production, I find myself picking apart movies all the time. Now when I go to the movie theater, or am just sitting at home, I realize all the different camera angles; I notice the lighting, music, and cuts to new scenes. Now I can’t watch movies without critiquing camera angles constantly, like, “that scene could have been so much more powerful with an over-the-shoulder shot or even a low angle shot!” I have earned a new respect for the whole process of filmmaking, and it still amazes me how so many people will work months on a movie to just entertain us for two hours. I can no longer just sit and watch a movie anymore, without analyzing every cut, angle change, and musical selection. T.V. Production has made it so that I’m interested in how directors manipulate cameras, and actors to provoke the audience’s emotions just how they planned.
