Ratas Ratones y Rateros
Hy everyone today I’m going to talk about an Ecuadorian movie called “ratas rarones y rateros” this movie was directed by Sebastian Cordero in 1999 is a dramatic film. One of the most important characters is Marcos Bustos as Salvador and Carlos Valencia as Angel, all the character makes a great role in the movie. This movie used a lot of shots like close up, extreme close up, medium shot, long shot over the shoulder etc that created a better perspective in the scenes. Also they used music and sound that was accorded to the movie and help to give emphasis to the scenes. Is an interesting film, but the dialogue was too strong and was not clear enough, for a young audience. The ending of this film is not complete, but the message that gave is very important and real for our daily lives.

Documentaries.
Documentaries are presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting matter, as in a book or film.
It scenes are carefully chosen and arranged, they are not scripted, and people are not actors. Documentaries are more
cheaper to produce, than commercial movies. Many today's examples of the documentary films have a political or otherwise controversial agenda, such as an Inconvenient Truth, Super Size Me, Fahrenheit 911. It is a movie shot on film stock.
The first documentary to be produced was in 1907, called The Unwritten Law. They are low risk studios. Sometimes a documentary film may rely on voice over the narration to describe what is happening in the footage. In other cases the footage would speak for itself. A documentary includes interviews with the people in the film. Documentaries include or can be biological films about a living or dead person, a well known event, a live performance etc. It is a broad category of moving pictures intended to document some aspect of reality.

PEARL HARBOR.
Hi everyone, this week I would likely to talk about Pearl Harbor, a movie released in 2001, that is an American action war film directed by Michael Bay and produced by Bay. It features a large ensemble cast, including Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, Kate Beckinsale, Cuba Gooding etc.
Pearl Harbor is a dramatic reimagining of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Some of its scenes were among the last to be filmed in Technicolor. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, Pearl Harbor became one of the highest-grossing films of 2001 according to Wikipedia. (copy, paste)
Production
The main budget of this film was about $208 million. In order to recreate the atmosphere of a pre war like it was as Pearl Harbor, the producers had the advantages of staging the film in Hawaii and using the current Naval facilities, although for the sake of expediency and due to the present use of the base. Rosarito served as the ideal location to recreate the death throes of the battleships in the Pearl Harbor attack.
According to Wikipedia the film grossed US$200 million at the domestic box office and US$450 million worldwide. The film was ranked the sixth highest-earning picture of 2001.
As the movie is being presented, this has several shots, specially Master shots, to show us the main scenarios of Japan and US, also to show us the mayor scenes of attack and also medium shots of the characters, to show us the moods that they got towards decisions or problems that they had to face. Most of the scenes were filmed during day.
At the 2002 Academy Awards, Pearl Harbor was nominated for four awards, winning one for Sound Effects Editing. Its other nominations were for Best Sound, Best Visual Effects, and Best Song.

Treatments.
The purpose of a treatment is a summary of your story written with that it could be sell to television, print, or film. In a treatment, you've got anywhere from one to ten pages to pitch your story, so concise writing is important.
First you have to create an outline of your story, and introduce the main characters, the plot, the climax and the end.
Then it would be necessary to write your first draft of the treatment, and to worry about the length.
You also could remove any unnecessary sentence, adjectives, adverbs etc. The editor is more likely to read shorter treatments.
Research a market for your story using online resources or writer's magazines and books.

LAST SONG.
Well this week I would be talking about this film made by Julie Anne and based on a novel written by Nicholas Sparks.
This film combines from love, family, opportunities, goals, life, and problems.s. The main actors in this film are Miley Cyrus and Greg Kinnear. In this movie, at first we can see a broken family and in it we can understand all the bad consequences that a family in that way brings to the kids. Then we can see a rebel girl that wants to do whatever she wants but in the transition of the movie we can see that her relation with her father starts to improve and they start to talk and be friends. But after days passes, a man appears and they got in love but they were very different but then many things appear and many other things were discovered that would change completely the movie.
At the end of the movie, a lot of messages appeared. Because we can see that life is not what we think it is, it's difficult, it's not easy so we have to learn from our mistakes and try to don't make them again. We have to live every day as if it's our last day. We have to tell people what we feel about them and we have to take advantage of everything we have.
In the movie we can see many shots, wide shot, high level, bird's eye, close-up, extreme close-up, long shot, medium shot and two shot. The shots made us understand more the movie and focused ourself in what the director wanted to focus us. The lights were very good because we can see everything very clear and the backgrounds were simple. The sets and places were very well also because they made us feel like the situations were real.

Costumes designes job.
The most important thing in a movie is the costume that the characters will going to use during the production of the film. Costume designers are the ones who create the character's costume , they have to use their imagination to create something new and according to the role of the character that they are going to be performing.
Before creating the costumes, the designer needs to read the role of the character in the movie , the things that the character like, the personality ,etc. because creating a costume it has to be according to the character.
They are the ones that creates the look of each character by designing clothes and accessories the actors will wear in performance. Their designs need to faithfully reflect the personalities of the characters in the script.
Costumes provide audiences the information about a character's occupation, status, gender, age, sense of style and tendencies towards conformity or individualism. As well, costumes can tell the characters mood, the age, the actors appearance etc.
Costume designs need to include many accessories that the character would be using, such as canes, hats, gloves, shoes, jewelry or masks. These props add a great deal of visual interest to the overall costume design.
Costume designers begin their work by reading the script to be produced.

La Rafle.
Hi guys, after being studying some German History this short week,I had recently watched a film made by Alain Goldman, released at the beginning of this year call La Rafle or The Round Up. This movie is directed by Roselyne Bosch, produced by Alain Goldman, written by Roselyne Bosch, edited by Plantin Alice and the starting are by Melaine Laurent, Jean Reno Sylvie Testud, Gad Elmaleh and Raphaelle Agogue. According to Wikipedia, the budget of this French film was about € 20,000,000 and a gross revenue of € 24,234,537. This film is based on the true story of a young Jewish boy that since the beginning had to pass threw difficult moments where he and his family life is under danger. The costumes of this film are characterized of Jewish people that used to wear during this time that was non extravagant cloth, with a yellow star that meant that they were Jewish people. Their cloth were characterized because of this star that they had to wear in their clothes. So their costume were all known and noticeable. The props that this movie uses are the common as other real stories movies uses, to express the reality that it might had occurred during that difficult time, in order to let us catch they way of living, the director encourage the using of a messy place in which Jewish people used to lived over that conditions that they may leave any moment. So the background or setting are from messy departments like small neighborhoods to working camps, which this is the one that the director uses the most to show the movie. The scenes of this films are believable, because that's the purpose of the director, to show us the real story that Jewsish people had to pass during WW2, with Hitler in power as the Fuhrer. The props, the costumes, the main plots that the character had to face while the movie continues and the music being used matches with the real scenes being used to express that kind of mood that can't be explained toward ourselves, where human life was miserable and extremely bad treated. The film with the uses of the scenes, plots, dialogues, actions and sound catch our attention easily toward our feelings that creates us a melancholy mood. This film I consider that goes fast, which I think that its good and correct, because in that time the main actions that Hitler took over Germany and later on at other territories they were no slow, the opposite, his actions were fast and smarter, so I think that the movie is well presented with a faster way. This film play with the shots, where at the beginning it plays long shots, showing us the entire scenes, which is Paris, even do we can noticed because of the Eiffel Tower, then it is being showed some close ups to the character to show us their way of actions and moods that this situation that they had to live created to them. The filmmaker plays with the lights in most of the darker scenes, which are departments, camps were they used to sleep and other major places were the movie takes place. The production of this film was made by Bosch, which he decided to put and made this film as La Rafle because she felt sympathy with the victims, in the other hand her husband's family were Jewish people, and her father had been detained in Francisco Franco interment camps, so she felt connection with all this thing circumstances. So she discovered Joseph Weisman and Annette Monod, whose memories would eventually form the base of the entire script.
The shooting of this film began in May 2009, and lasted over 13 weeks, were 9,000 extras were used, and concentration camps were re constructed in Hungary of the shooting of this main parts. The dialogue of this film is simple, which I mean that the frases or words being used are understandable, the dialogue is ok, where I mean that it is not based on many words or concentrated of dialgue, which is corrects because it is showed more in the actions that the character had to pass.
