Story of Film

My thought about this video was a lot different than what I expected it be be about based off the tittle.  My though of this video only knowing the tittle, "Story of Film", Is that it would be about lots of different experiences throughout one entire film that showed the backstage features and plannings, but there was multiple point of views throughout this whole film that showed the impact of the film on characters, directors, and views. Also the film showed directors, morals of films, purpose of films, details of the film that are really important, and the meanings and opinions of films.
One thing I really liked was the fish fountain and how she only turned it on when special guest visited or arrived. An important thing that I learned was there are many important details in each frame and you have to pay attention very closely to get the full message the film maker intended. This film is really important to watch because you learn a lot from it and it can benefit you in your film making. One thing I would have liked to see more of is more examples of films throughout this film. Overall I really enjoyed this film and thought it was very helpful and interesting to see all the things I didn't know about films. This was a very wonderful and useful film that will help me in my posh film making! I have learned a lot of new things that I can incorporate into my films!

Between the folds video

This video was very entertaining and informative to see that origami is not just folding a piece of paper. When I was first introduced to origami it was in this class. I thought it was going to be so easy, but it was really hard. I ending up getting the hang of it, but when I watched the video I saw how much time and effort it takes to make these amazing creations of paper. There is so much more to origami that I didn't realize. It is way more than just folding a piece of paper and not a lot of people realize it.I think people should watch this video to see that is is not just folding a piece of paper and they can appreciate is just as I did. There is such a long process to this activity and hobby it is crazy! There are so many steps and mathematical things you have to do if you want to create a masterpiece. You also have to put so much time, effort, and dedication into origami making. If you don't have patience this is not a good hobby for you, you can be easily frustrated with an activity like this. This video has showed me a lot about origami making and there was so much I didn't know about. I didn't know how seriously some people take origami. I didn't know how amazing the pieces can be. Even though it takes a lot of effort, dedication, patience, and time it all works out in the long run when you have your beautiful masterpiece that you can have forever to inspire you to keep creating more.
