Production

This week our film group filmed two scenes for our film Sticky Webb. This was very stressful and confusing. We all have to be there on set while filming. It really bothers me and bums me out that I'm the editor and my job is on the computer and I'm one of the few that actually go with the film crew to film. Others have more important roles in that process and they don't even go and it really bothers me. If I could make time then other should be able to as well. It also stresses me out that the actors don't memorize their lines and don't take it as serious as we do. I understand that it's not their grade but when agreeing to become a part of the team you need to have the same commitments as us. This week has been stressful, I hope after we film the principal scene everything will get better though.

        Writing treatments are what helps get the film going but they're not very easy. You have amazing ideas and you write them all down and then you have writers block. You finish your story but it doesn't quite make sense but you can't seem to fix it. That's the problem I always have when writing a treatment. It's difficult to come up with things after you have barley came up with a lot for your treatment.

        I don't like presenting in front of a class so the experience of selling our story to the front of the class was a nightmare. I stayed up thinking about it, I even cried in the shower because of it. That's the one thing I didn't like that we did.

      Treatments are very hard to write, but they're what gets your story going.

Oscars Best Actor

  Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook,  Hugh Jackman for Les Misérables, Denzel Washington for Flight, Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln, and Joaquin Phoenix for The Master. All nominees for this years Best Actor. Who should take home the award is controversial but that's what makes it exciting. Everyone has different views on who deserves the award but this isn't about everyone else's opinion. This is about mine.

         I've seen Lincoln, I've seen Les Misérables, I've seen Silver Linings Playbook. And out of all those nominees I believe Bradley Cooper should win Best Actor. Why Bradley Cooper? Why, because I love Bradley Cooper. I believe he did a great job acting. I believe he played the 'I'm crazy, no I'm not crazy, I'm fine' roll. He even added humor to the situation. He was so good acting so clueless and open about everything. I loved the scene where he's reading a book Nikki teaches her students. He finishes the book then screams "WHAT THE FUCK" and throws it out the window in the middle of the night. It was scenes/acting like that, that makes me want Bradley Cooper to win. He was funny yet you still felt sympathy in him because he is so obsessed with his wife.

       . How can you not love Bradley Cooper. He's so great and beautiful. His performance was great and to top it off he's beautiful and to top that off he should win Best Actor.

Best Supporting Actor

                Tommy Lee Jones for Lincoln, Robert De Niro for Silver Linings Playbook, Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained, Alan Arkin for Argo, and Philip Seymour Hoffman for The Master. These are the nominees for Oscar's 2013 Best Supporting Actor. Such an honorable and memorable award that only goes out to one of these five actors. The question is, who truly deserves it?
                 Many believe Alan Arkin should win. Many others believe Robert De Niro should win or maybe Christoph Waltz or Philip Seymour Hoffman should win. I believe Tommy Lee Jones should win. I believe he should win because in Lincoln he did an incredible job. He was in my eyes one of the main source why this movie worked so well. He played Thaddeus Stevens. He spoke his mind and was not afraid to do so no matter how many remarks and screams he got from other people. He knew what was right and he stood up for it and it was great. It was great because I feel that without him others wouldn't have been able to do that. I feel as if, if they would have chosen another actor to do this part, they wouldn't have been nearly as close to capture our emotions like how Tommy Lee Jones did. He knew exactly what to say in the courtroom and when his words payed off when the Thirteenth Amendment passed, it was such a great feeling. He build the emotions up and made the passing of the amendment admirable.

                  I believe Tommy Lee Jones should with Best Supporting Actor, and if he doesn't I'm sure he will be nominated again in the future years and he will win because he is a great actor.
