What Film has Taught me

 

Hello, my name is Alissa Florio, I am a junior in high school. I am on the varsity cheerleading team, and the varsity water polo team, I am vice president of Women of Tomorrow, historian of Florida's Future Educators of America, and secretary of environmental club. I enjoy watching movies and taking this classes has expended my knowledge about movies and grew my love for film. My favorite genre of film are romance and comedy, with romance I get to see someone life play out how they fight for true love. This is really inspirational how they won't stop fighting for the one they love and how they will walk through fire to be with the one they love. With comedy if its well written it can always make me feel better, it improves my mood and lets my mind relax from everyday life. I am creating this blog to see how much I learn this year and how much better I get over the course of this year.

Film is a fun and exciting way to learn more about what goes into making movies. Throughout my 3 years in film class I have learned about the different parts of movies, and why directors do certain things, like why they use certain angles or shot, how it adds to the scene. I have also learned about what goes into movies, not just the script and acting, but the background music what goes on around the characters that makes the movies more interesting.

We then asked what everyone thought the scariest part of horror movies was to them, this helps us know what keeps the plot interesting.
