Sample Blog- Zach Herbert

September 19th

Today, to start off class, Mr. Rivers spilt each table up into many different groups to chat with each other about their use of mies-en-scene in the screenshot we chose.  In my group, consisting of Mike L, Bethann, and Jake, we were able to get through Mike's entire slideshow of how his group found the specific parts of mies-en-scene.  Half way through my presentation, Mr. Rivers said that we do not have enough time to do all of each others full presentations, so Bethann and Jake were only able to do a few of their slides.
The reason why not everyone could finish their presentations was because Mr. Rivers wanted to find the parts of mies-en-scene with the whole class.  He pulled up a screenshot from the scene from Breaking Bad that was used on our baseline (shown below). With the class we discussed some of the elements such as, the composition which os the way the lines in the frame are moving.  In this case it is horizontal because of the rocky mountains in the background, the landscape itself, and the sky.  When we finished that, we had like seven minutes left in class and Mr. Rivers showed us a clip from the beginning of Star Wars.  We analyzed what the approach of the Star Destroyer creates (shown below).
