Her film has a fresh and interesting look to it. She is like a cross between Wes Anderson , Sofia Coppola (her aunt), and Quetin Tarantino. the colors used in her film are very vibrant yet subtle. Her budget also sets her apart from other filmmakers because she created "Palo Alto" on a very low budget. Even with a small budget, a lack of an actor pool, and limited time, Gia Coppola still produced a wonderful film.

Filmmakers aren't given enough credit for creating the masterpieces we see in theaters and at our homes on a daily basis, in my opinion. We praise actors and actresses for their performance, but we ignore the credits at the end of the movies. We forget that the screenwriters, producers, and directors work for years to create seamless products that we enjoy, and I believe they should get more recognition than just once a year during award season. One of the film directors that I believe deserves more recognition is Christopher Nolan. He is a British-American director, screenwriter, and producer. "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises", the most recent "Interstellar", and my favorite "Inception" are just some of the movies he is credited with. He got his start in film at the age of seven and dedicated the rest of his life to perfect his craft.

what made anderson cooper famous? Well "Cooper began his news career as a fact checker for Channel One, which produces news segments to be broadcast in schools around the country. Bored with his day-to-day job, he took a videocamera with him to Southeast Asia. His footage of strife in Myanmar and parts of Africa eventually landed him the job of chief international correspondent for Channel One."(bio.com) "Cooper's reports soon attracted enough attention that, in 1995, he was hired by ABC News as a correspondent and then a co-anchor of World News Now. Growing weary of the demanding schedule, he left in 2000 to host a new ABC reality show, The Mole. But after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Cooper was compelled to return to the news, and CNN took him aboard in January 2002 as a correspondent and substitute anchor."(bio.com) In 2003, CNN gave Cooper his own news show, Anderson Cooper 360, on which he examines in depth major stories of the day. The show was an instant success, and Cooper himself became a spotlight name, propelled by his coverage of such events as Hurricane Katrina, the death of Pope John Paul II and the revolution in Lebanon. Going after what he wanted made him successful, and never giving up.

ReplyDeleteI chose Tim Burton. He is a well known filmmaker. He has over 30 films. It didn't take long for him to begin making big hit movies. He started making his own movies about a year after working at Disney with an animation degree.

Gia Coppola, an upcoming filmmaker, is making a name for herself through artist indie movies. Her big film debut began with "Palo Alto." This movie was initially a novel written by James Franco, a famous actor. However, Coppola saw potential in the novel and rewrote it as a screenplay. From the mind of James Franco, to the film of Gia Coppola, an now finally on the big screen, "Palo Alto" has come a long way.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes Coppola successful is her unique eye for videography. Her film has a fresh and interesting look to it. She is like a cross between Wes Anderson , Sofia Coppola (her aunt), and Quetin Tarantino. the colors used in her film are very vibrant yet subtle. Her budget also sets her apart from other filmmakers because she created "Palo Alto" on a very low budget. Even with a small budget, a lack of an actor pool, and limited time, Gia Coppola still produced a wonderful film.

ReplyDeleteFilmmakers aren't given enough credit for creating the masterpieces we see in theaters and at our homes on a daily basis, in my opinion. We praise actors and actresses for their performance, but we ignore the credits at the end of the movies. We forget that the screenwriters, producers, and directors work for years to create seamless products that we enjoy, and I believe they should get more recognition than just once a year during award season.
ReplyDeleteOne of the film directors that I believe deserves more recognition is Christopher Nolan. He is a British-American director, screenwriter, and producer. "Batman Begins", "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises", the most recent "Interstellar", and my favorite "Inception" are just some of the movies he is credited with. He got his start in film at the age of seven and dedicated the rest of his life to perfect his craft.

he company's first project was Lucas' full-length version of THX 1138 (1971). In 1971, Coppola went into production for The Godfather (1972), and Lucas formed his own company, Lucasfilm Ltd. In 1973, he wrote and directed the semiautobiographical American Graffiti (1973) which won the Golden Globe and garnered five Academy Award nominations. This gave him the clout he needed for his next daring venture. From 1973 to 1974, he began writing the screenplay for Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). He was inspired to make this movie from Flash Gordon and the Planet of the Apes films. In 1975, he established I.L.M. (Industrial Light and Magic) to produce the visual effects needed for the movie. Another company called Sprocket Systems was established to edit and mix Star Wars and later becomes known as Skywalker Sound. His movie was turned down by several studios until 20th Century Fox gave him a chance. Lucas agreed to forego his directing salary in exchange for 40% of the film's box-office take and all merchandising rights. The movie went on to break all box office records and earned seven Academy Awards. It redefined the term "blockbuster". The rest is history. Lucas made the other Star Wars films and along with Steven Spielberg created the Indiana Jones series which made box office records of their own. From 1980 to 1985, Lucas was busy with the construction of Skywalker Ranch, built to accommodate the creative, technical, and administrative needs of Lucasfilm.

He went on to make several more movies that have introduced major innovations in film-making technology. He is chairman of the board of The George Lucas Educational Foundation. In 1992, George Lucas was honored with the Irving G. Thalberg Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his life-time achievement.

We wouldn't want to live in the places he takes us. Somehow, we suspect, we do.

The film made his reputation and nothing in his later life fully equaled its success, although he continued the development of this new genre of docufiction, e.g. with Moana (1926), set in the South Seas, and Man of Aran (1934), filmed in Ireland's Aran Islands.n 1913, on his expedition to prospect the Belcher Islands, his boss, Sir William Mackenzie, suggested that he take a motion picture camera along.

When Flaherty returned to Toronto with 30,000 feet of film, the nitrate film stock was ignited in a fire started from his cigarette, in his editing room. His film was destroyed and he received burns on his hands. Although his editing print was saved and shown several times, Flaherty wasn't satisfied with the results.
