It's Women's History Month. While I did miss International Women's Day, since it's still March, I still think this is relevant information. Go check out this link on Ten Women who have made cinematic history.

The Sound of Amazing

Since the late 1920s, sound has been an instrumental part of the film industry, has had a huge impact on the movie industry as a whole. Without a doubt, it enhances whatever is presented on the screen. I could go on about how the inclusion of sound has elevated film-making, but then you wouldn't get to see how great it is for yourself.  Foley Artist Gary Hecker gives tips and tricks on how to record realistic sound for a film. Check it out!

Scene One

Right. So this is a new venture for me. I've never had a blog before, mainly because I wasn't sure I had anything worth blogging about. I tend to listen and think more than I speak, and as a result, I don't really offer too many opinions out loud. But this seems like a good way to speak my mind about what I am passionate about- the cinema. The experience of it; the various genres; the stories brought to life on the big screen. And not just the final product- no no no! I love everything about film, but I especially enjoy what goes on behind-the-scenes to get a film made. From pre-production to post-production, from costumers and script-writing to editing and sound design, the entire process is fascinating. I've always wanted to have an in-depth look into this process, and this is the place where I post all the knowledge I've gained in my research.
