the one thing that I am truly addicted to is film. film gossip, film trivia, behind the scenes or stories of preproduction I love it all. if theres a title above a blog that says something like. “8 things you don’t know almost —– these movie” I’m almost certainly gonna click that link.

the movie blog .com is basically what I would want from a film blog if I were to search for one (which I did) I choose it because of its various topics regarding how well a film is doing or fun facts about popular names.

I feel like this blog started more humbly but has gone to more popular attention grabbing subjects. already from checking out the page I have found out about speilbergs bipolar wife, scenes in the movie goodfellas that actually happened and why the new blade runner movies hype is exceeding itself. (all things I found I had to know about)

the quality of the blog is great. its clean and easy to navigate and like the film industry always has new material to bring to the table. who ever is running the blog …..

This blog is called “Who is Andy Warhol”  (http://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-andy-warhol)

This blog is interesting for the same reason Andy Warhol is interesting; he pushed the boundaries and more importantly made people look at things they look at everyday differently. A resource that really has helped me as well as my inspiration process is the video about “Pop Art.” This can help you searching for inspiration by looking at something differently than the normal way most people usually do. I think this site is produced moderately well. Although it is a basic layout, it is concise and well organized. I think that this is the most important aspect of the layout and I admire it. The overall quality of information is also strong. It gives specific examples of Andy Warhol’s work while also leaving captions to review the concepts of popular art that he is the master of. Overall, I think this website can help anyone that is seeking some inspiration as well as trying to look at things we look at everyday differently. Andy Warhol’s work surely has helped my mind look at things we look at every day differently such as advertisements, commercials, labels, and even the specific products themselves.

This is an amazing blog for artists. From what I can tell anyone can post to this blog and it categorizes them in different types of arts and mediums. I like how interactive and categorized it is for each artist and most of them you can link to the artists page and leave comments and interact with them. They are constantly updating and adding new content and artists. I haven’t used it outside of class but out of all of them that looked at this seemed to have the most unique content because anyone can post and comment. I have spent some time looking around this site and don’t feel like I’ve scratched the surface. Check it out and definitely think about posting something on it…..I am!

I found Film Independent to be a great resource. I was looking for a blog about filmmaking and the process behind it. There are many different content creators submitting to the blog discussing topics from how to conduct an interview to lessons people have learned through the years. This blog can be a valuable resource for anybody interested in filmmaking or writing. The site itself is very well produced! The content is clean and organized as well as free of ads!

For example one article talks about permits and where they are required when shooting. Meri Hilalian, the author of this article, goes into detail about her interview with LA filmmakers. They talked about how any public space requires a shooting permit. The police are also a major part of filming, such as blocking off roads and keeping the public back from the scene. One subject I really took away from this reading was the parking rule. I had never given it any thought but all cast and crew must park on private property, such as a church parking lot. This is due to an awareness that people do live and work in these areas and they must be respectful of their lives while filming.

This whole assignment has been a lot of fun! I discovered that treasures were not where I thought they’d be-but that is what made the whole assignment enjoyable. I had almost more fun taking pictures once I found the destination. I lost track of a lot of time….
