Ratas, Ratones, Rateros.

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.
