Introduction!



Hello! My name is Maggie Owen and I am an Exercise Science major here at North Central College. I am very interested in films and how they are made! Some of my favorite films are the Hunger Games Series, the Pitch Perfect Series, and I also really love some animated films like Toy Story. I just love the story lines in all of those movies and they are always really fun to watch! I am taking this film class because I am very interested in the behind the scenes of movies and shows and how they are made! I have some first hand experience of seeing how a tv show is made and that is what got me very interested in learning more about movies. Whenever I watch movies, I am always wondering how they got a specific shot or in what order were all the scenes filmed, so I think it will be really cool to learn all about that, as well as different kinds of shots and how a film set looks. As of now, I do not really know what my future plans are working in film or movies, but I think it would be really cool to be able to be on set when shows or movies are filmed and to just be a part of the process!

We decided to film it inside of an empty classroom, and have me walk in thinking there was still class today, only to find on the white board written "No Class." All of a sudden, the blinds strangely start closing, and while I went over to check it out, the door slams behind me. The camera pans to see someone walking slowly to me, but when I turned around because of the sound, the girl is gone. Because of these strange happenings, I decided I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, but as I'm walking out, the lights start to flicker. I find that the door is locked, and I turn around to see that all of the chairs have been flipped upside down. While I continue to struggle with the door, the camera shows the...

Cars Film Review

Image
     I think it goes without saying that Cars is just simply a great movie. While it is very different from the other movies that we have watched in class, I do not know a single person that can say something bad about the movie. It starts out with the main character, Lightning McQueen racing for the Piston Cup, when the race ends in a tie, the 3 drivers are supposed to head out to California to settle the win. On McQueens way there however, he someone falls out of the back of his truck and winds up in a little town called Radiator Springs. However, he doesn't just end up there, he destroyed a good chunk of the street on his way. The town decides that he needs to repair the street before he can leave, but McQueen had big plans he needed to attend to. While McQueen is working on getting the road finished, he ends up befriending most of the town and realizes how much he likes the place.  At first he thought everyone was weird because they were rusty or awkward, but aft...
