Film School Files: For my Editing class this semester we were each tasked with editing film shot by a classmate. I was partnered with Christine and this is the final cut of my edit of her movie Nefarious Projections. As a horror fan, I was excited about this project and I really wanted to make it as creepy as possible.. It’s an interesting process editing someone else’s film cause you see the story differently. I cut out entire scenes from her script to make this cut, but as the editor I wanted to find the essence of her film. The sound editing is also a bit off but I’m still learning. Anyways I hope you enjoy!
Truthfully, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug didn’t have much to do to be a good movie given our reception to the last one. However, the success of the second film is based not on low expectations, but on the sheer force of good movie making. By ratcheting up the tension and delivering some of the best set pieces of the year, Pater Jackson and company manage to craft a fairly engaging tale.
Just when you think these awards are gonna go the way you think, here come the Golden Globe nominations to shake things up a bit. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association released the nominees for the 2014 Golden Globes and for the first time in a long time, had a tremendously solid lineup. Let’s dig into the Golden Globe nominations shall wee.
I feel like I just went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson and Muhammed Ali in their primes after Sunday’s incredible slate of critics votes. Between 12 and 3 PST, four major groups announced their nominations with more coming late that night and early today. The Globes and SAG are right around the corner so let take stock of how the race has changed since Super Sunday and update those Oscar Predictions.
The Oscar race is certainly in for a jolt now. With the arrival of The Wolf of Wall Street, we could be in for an even more exciting awards season as things begin heating up. There’s not a lot of movement in the predictions but some heavy observations that could be made. Let’s dig in!
