The Intro!

 Hi, my name is Sebastian Alicea, and welcome to my blog! My favorite film of all time is "The Martian." This movie is about how a man who was stranded on Mars came back alive. Mark Watney the main character traveled to space with the sole purpose of finding any possibility of life being sustainable on Mars. He traveled with his crew but they were hit by a storm and they were all forced to return home. However, as they were preparing to head home, a communications dish breaks off and hits Mark Watney, throwing him into the storm. This inevitably tells the story of how Mark Watney survived on Mars. Matt Damon is my favorite actor and he truly brings this film to life. I really enjoy films like this because they feel real and almost present events that have happened. It leaves me on the edge of my seat, the sense of nervousness then turns into thrill excitement, and even hope. I also enjoy watching sports movies primarily the Rocky Movies and the most recent addition Creed being my favorite of the two.

   



  I took this class to get a better understanding of film and I felt it was the most appealing Gen Ed class. The idea of learning about film always intrigued me as I always wanted to know more. The process filmmakers go through, the trial and error that they must put in to see the movie or show's full potential. I know the film isn't always sunshine and rainbows, and I want to see that. I don't necessarily see myself getting involved with film as a career but I do enjoy watching it and I hope that I'll be able to share my love of film with anyone that I come across now that I will have a better understanding of it all.

The Short Film

Image
The genre we had form our short film project was suspense. Our group was very open to ideas since we all thought this would be very fun to do as a project. They elected me as the lead and so the process began. We decided on the premise of the movie being about a person who isn't actually there is see by the main character however that person isn't seen by anyone else. I learned a lot about film in this whole process as I didn't really know what to expect to begin with. However I learned a lot about eyes being the focal point in a lot of acting, eyes are such an important object or symbol because they can create emotions and branch off into other feelings. It was fun because we were all around campus looking for really good spots to film our scenes. Once we found our spots that we wanted to film, we really just started filming, with no story board, just a camera and ideas. And I think that might've made it such a good experience because we didn't constrain ourselves ...

Why the Amazing Spider-Man is the most enjoyable!

Image
 The reviews of The Amazing Spider-Man series is all of the place from incredible to straight up awful. And to me that is really bizarre. I feel like the vast majority of the time is that it is 50/50 but, the people I talk to seem to dislike the series except me. It has a different charm in comparison to them all. Toby played Spider-Man the way I expected Spider-Man to be. Tom Holland, I felt is the best Spider-Man for the job because he brings in the youth and it blends well with his acting style. Watching Tom is like a breath of fresh air sometimes. However I don't feel his movies come near to what Andrew Garfield has done. Andrew feels like he has the right build for the role. Sometimes I think Andrew is a little to cocky to bee Spider-Man as he is supposed to be a teenager but, teenagers are cocky too, so it counts in my eyes. He able to showcase his amazing acting ability, especially in scenes where Peter is face with his own morality. In the end I feel like I enjoy the mature...

What I thought about such an iconic movie, Cars!

Image
 Cars is a movie released by Pixar Animation Studios in 2006. This movie is set in a world brought up with life filled cars. The story follows Lightning McQueen who is this hotshot cocky rookie race car, who dreams of winning the Piston Cup. The story begins with the first race scene. Where Lightning, Chick Hicks, and Strip Weathers are all competing for the Piston cup as these three racers are tied for the season points in 5013. This race would decide it all. However with some fortunate events Lightning finds himself in first place with a huge lead, however he went about it by only using gas and no tires and this arrogance would eventually lead to bite him. As he is on the last last lap both of his backfires explode and he only has his front two left. This results in him only being able to go so fast and this would result in Chick and Strip to catch up to him and force a tie breaker race in California. However Lightning still being arrogant forces his truck driver Mack to drive al...
