The film " Hunting in Wartime " is about real-life accounts of Tlingit Native Americans who fought in the Vietnam War retelling their own experiences before, during, and after the war. The film goes through the Veterans' trauma and morals, as well as their hunting experience. It goes through a lot of details and with the sounds and visuals can show the audience the mood of the situation. This element is what makes the film unique to approach a subject. Sound Design is one of the key things that the film uses to tell the stories. One instance of sound design is the scene where the Soldiers were first sent to Vietnam. The scene starts with a bustling town, where we hear a lot of talking and then calming waves. However, the scene changes and we hear explosions, helicopters, gunshots, and well as dark music in the background. This shows us how the first impressions of Vietnam for the Soldiers. From being calming and beautiful to a being living nightmare....

Blog #3- Relationships Between Shots

Image
 In the film. " Do the Right Thing " by Spike Lee. We see many unique shots in the film that Lee chooses to show emotions for a character. In the film, we often see emotions being used to show viewers a characters' point of view. For example, there is a scene in the film where we see Buggin Out; one of the characters in the film, confronting a man named Clifton. The scene starts with a medium shot of Buggin out being bumped by Clifton. The scene then changes to a close-up shot of Buggin Out's shoe, showing a dirt stain on his shoe. This results in a very sharp low-angle show of Buggin Out to show his anger towards Clifton. When Buggin Out confronts him Lee uses a tracking shot to follow Buggin Out until Clifton in position of the frame. A mob people comes to the scene from both sides of the frame. Then we see a series shot-reverse-shot; in which we see the Clifton and the mob arguing against each other. We see Buggin Out and the mob being framed in a low-...

Blog #2- Sound

Blog #2- Sounds Whenever I am outside, I usually wear my Sony WH-1000XM2, which are Bluetooth active noise canceling headphones during my commute, or even right now. I also use my Audio Technica ATH-M50X sometimes when I'm at home. And I also use my Zolo Liberty+, true wireless Bluetooth headphones during my workout. All three of my headphones do a great job at blocking out something that I don't want; ambient noise, It's something that we hear every day in our lives. However, sometimes we don't want to hear those sounds and want to become isolated in our own music. I mostly listen to my Spotify playlists and my favorite Podcasts to drown out the outside noise. Thanks to new headphones(especially Bluetooth) technology. It makes things easier to get some jams in without outside distractions and is only getting better each year. So I decided to go for a run at my near-by park in Bensonhurst around 8 in the morning, without my workout headphones for about half an ...

Artist Statement

Artist Statement Welcome Hi, my name is Samuel Lin, and this is my first Blogger page. I made this Blogger account for one of my classes in Hunter College as of Fall 2018. This blog will showcase my works and projects that I will make for class such as Photograph and Film Production. What I hope to do is to express a style that I would want to use. I currently don't know what kind of style would work and would love to find one that I would like. I recently got an Associates Degree in Media Arts at Kingsborough Community College. As of writing this blog I'm currently undecided for my major since I just transferred to Hunter College this semester.Though I'm interested in majoring in Computer Science, Film, or Media Studies. I have some experience in using a camera. Back in Kingsborough, I used the Sony FS-100 for shooting a few projects for class. Which involved shooting B-Roll and interviews. I haven't really touched any other cameras, besides my phone, so usi...
