Soundwalk




For the soundwalk assignment I chose to walk down in my residential neighborhood, in South part of Brooklyn. I live in Bensonhurst. I’m writing this while i’m walking.
The first sound I heard the moment I stepped out of the building was 3 men talking in language which did not sound familiar to me. I suddenly heard fire department’s car’s alarm sounds because I live a block away from the fire department of Bensonhurst. Since it was a nice weather I saw 3 birds humming on the tree. I was very observant and attentive, i tried my best to hear  every little thing on the street but it’s impossible to listen to everything at the same time. I heard someone was dragging the trash bag probably full of glasses and cans because it sounds very harsh. The card are honking. I passed the laundromat and heard how little cat jumped out of the bushes. I walked down 2 blocks, I heard 2-3 different languages spoken, some Mandarin, Spanish, and Albanian. I went close to the main street and heard not pleasant sound of F train. Since I heard kids talking, laughing, and yelling I realized that school was over and children couldn’t wait to be outside in a good weather, while I was observing that I heard school bus honking at the vehicle. 
 All of these sounds made me happy because I realized that spring is already here and many people tried to enjoy and take an advantage of the weather by walking outside. The soundwalk assignment was very interesting but it wasn’t as easy as I thought, i really tried to hear every detail but it was impossible.

Theatre with its ability brings narrative into life. It offers interesting storytelling and it's been great medium for centuries now. ...

Relationships between shots

  I decided to watch a scene from the episodes of Marriage. In this scene shots are related to each other visually and thematically. In this scene Mira leaves her husband Jonathan, they’re hugging each other, and shots are mostly concentrated on the sadness of the couple. For me it looks like the shots are mostly related to the story and visual. While there are different angles. For first couple of seconds the couple are shot by cameraman with pretty much close angles and from the shoulder angle, and medium angle. later when woman is leaving there is a long shot from the hallway through outside where the taxi is waiting for Mira. And at the end we see an over the shoulder shot from Jonathan’s angle. I also saw for 2-3 seconds 180 degree shot while Mira was opening the door and Jonathan was letting her go as well as matched angle when she came back to take her last luggage. There are jump cuts as well. there was not point of view shot from any actor’s point of view in this scene. I...
