Blog Post 10: Merner Mystery Short Film Summary

Welcome to the Blogging Brooke,

This week in class we were able to be creative and use our skills to create a short film. It was interesting to be able to experience beginner film making at its finest. My group was able to use our knowledge of cinematography, lighting, and sound to create our short film called Merner Mystery.

Merner Mystery is a short film created by Brooke Duncan starring Ola Zugaj, Anna Gawron, and Grace Toole. This film is about a volleyball coach who was mysteriously murdered in Merner Field House. Athletes Grace Toole and Anna Gawron were the last ones to see Coach Ola alive, so they become the prime suspects.

Investigator Brooke Duncan is called to the crime scene. She begins asking questions to both Anna and Grace and taking down notes to try and figure out what happened. She did her research and came to a conclusion after taking the statements from both suspects. Investigator Duncan came to the conclusion that when Grace went to the vending machine for a Fanta, she had poisoned it before handing it over to coach Ola.

Rest In Peace: Coach Ola Zugaj

Blog Post 1: My Interest in Film

Welcome to the Blogging Brooke Today I would like to share with you how my interest in film came to be. My first experiences with film began at a young age. I was always sitting by the television mesmerized by all of the colors on the screen. As I got older and learned to understand the storylines, my interest in film sky-rocketed. The first film that I can recall watching and understanding is The Little Mermaid. I remember this because I had an obsession with mermaids and the ocean. I loved going to the beach with my family and pretending that I was a mermaid, so this is the movie that really stuck out to me. Additionally, my favorite show at the time was H2O, and to no surprise, it is a show about girls who grow mermaid tails when they touch water. The Little Mermaid is making a live-action film, the trailer for it was just released a couple of days ago. I was ecstatic after I watched it and cannot wait for the fil...

Blog Post 5: Rear Window

The Blogging Brooke Last week in class we watched the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Rear Window. I enjoyed this film. I had high expectations prior to watching it because my roommate has always talked so highly about it. She says that it is one of her favorite films of all time, and I can see why. I loved the entire movie from the start. It had lots of suspenseful scenes, that kept me intrigued. I think that this film was extremally advanced for its time. The entirety of the film is based in the apartment of L.B Jeffries. L.B stares and watches bis neighbors live their life. He understands their joyous moments, but also moments of sadness or anger. As he studies them, he becomes obsessed. My favorite scenes from the film were when L.B knew something was wrong when Mr. Thorwald was sneaking out at night and he has not seen Mrs. Thorwald. You, the viewer could feel the intensity of the scene. The music was a key compo...

Blog Post 11: You, Me, and Everyone We Know

Welcome to the Blogging Brooke, This week in class we watched the 2005 Drama/Romance film, You, Me, and Everyone We Know. I enjoyed watching this film. The biggest takeaway I got from this was the importance that human connection has in people's lives. It focuses on how separation has a bad impact on human connection. In this blog I talk about how humans' thirst for some sort of connection in their lives, both human and electronic. In the beginning of the film, we are introduced to Richard Swersey. He has just gone through a breakup with the mother of his two children, Peter and Robby. He is now a single father who struggles in his job as a shoe-salesman to support and provide for his kids. He finds himself alone, stressed, and tired. However, he is doing everything he can to rebuild a connection with both Peter and Robby. Then one day while Richard was working, a young lady walked into his shop in search of shoes. This young lady is introduced as Christine. She is a l...
