IMPORTANT INITIAL INCIDENT for Mr. REX- Thoughts by Noah Huerta

In, uh, "Kung Fury" consisting of mostly work done by David Sandberg (2015)

There's a clear, set parody pacing throughout the movie to keep the sense of the movie's ideas and charm going on. So it's kinda difficult to tell where the Initial Incident is at, where there's action constantly going on from start to finish that are all equally important.

But the initial incident, that the character Kung Fury acts upon, would have to be when Adolf Hitler shoots up the Police Department.
In a movie that's constantly action packed and changing all the time, based off the world around Kung Fury (character) and his motivation, the subtlety is shown when the character has to follow through on something he cannot go back on.
When Adolf Hitler calls the police department and shoots everyone there through the telephone wire,
the character chooses to trace the call despite having just quit his job.

Then it goes on from there to same movie.

Hitchcock takeaway from Picture Perfect in class- Noah Huerta

Hitchcock's lessons: What we learn from what Hitchcock demonstrates, is this extended look at concepts we're familiar with, taken to places we've never seen before. I've seen that Hitchcock can see a method of showing the audience what is important and following along with concepts in the movie, that advance the story. Learning more about what he did, we also saw an example of a One-take shot stretched throughout the entire course of the movie. Usually we understand the practice of basic editing in class, but we can at least see what worked in the 40's, for innovation in film. This was exciting to try out for Hitchcock, an entire movie made with the stakes being clear to the actors as they're rolling. I thought that was at least a takeaway we can have about this experiment. We also took a look at the camera angles in Hitchcock's films, that go noticed when you're watching, but almost looked over with the rest of the movie. He had a way of directi

Friendly Finger Friends- Noah Huerta, PSA

Image
Hello. This is the story of Five friends. (As a Kid's show parody) Who decide together that it's okay to make fun of their friend without considering how he's feeling. That was because it was the funniest decision in the world to them, and they are five friends who, albeit are very close, are still kids and will make mistakes. Particularly in how this group of friends treat each other, especially with one odd thumb out. In this case, we see an example of bullying not casually mentioned in media or stories. We see bullying be an action that can be carried out, not just by a "bully" but by even your closest friends if they are still inconsiderate. Repeated, hurtful action is usually considered bullying and I thought I'd go with that idea in an example where we see someone not being to convey how they're being treated. Finding a reason not to explain what's wrong, the rest of the kids have to think he's okay with their treatment. Which goes alo

Twin Peaks review- Noah Huerta

Image
Honestly, the Twin Peaks clip we watched in class a couple weeks ago was very "confusing". As it was meant to be, so that a prelude to a story could get across and David Lynch could say a bit before Twin Peaks starts. Rex told us that the Atomic Bomb as a reference to WW2 and the start of "evil" with the apparent ease of a nuclear bomb drop being in the world, and I believe as well as most people that this aws stated to get more across for the series, in a spectacular manner without interrupting the plot of the story. However it's a prolonged scene, honestly. There's so much going on that doesn't say much aside from the bomb. There's like 12 minutes of exploring into chaotic visuals  and staring at a gas station. Sure you can take that all together with the theme/ juxtaposition of the show's weirdness, becuase looking back on, it really is a genius concept.  But the execution: Watching it all take 12 minutes to zoom in on a gas clo
