Clip Requests

10 14 Kathryn: Just got off of work, if anyone is crazy enough to still be up could you grab a clip from Beauty and the Beast 1:29:03 to the end of the film.

10. 12 From Kathryn: Example of tonal montage in Battleship Potemkin 33:15 -34:40 Comparison of light and dark fog sequence. Thanks

From Nykki:

I need 3 clips from La Grande Illusion-

1) the long scene with the soldier dressing in drag- about 26:47 to 29:22 I think

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/17/

2) soldiers having a conversation after Marechel's failed escape from solitary- about 44:49 to 45:22 or so

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/19/

3) the search of the second camp's quarters- 1:00:08 to about 1:01:11

Thanks a ton!

10.1 From Nykki (I think): From Beauty and the Beast: 34:55-35:18 (short clip when the beast carries Belle up the stairs).

Here it is:

I think the sound might be abit wrong...

10.6 from Air:

I need the clip of the beast proposing to Beauty the second time, I think its between 46:27 to 46:40.

Is this what you had in mind?

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/11/

10.8. from Ian:

I need the clip from Beauty and the Beast from 40:35 to 41:20, the irony of which is not lost on me, being a member of the clip-grabbin' team and all.

http://www.viddler.com/explore/Film110/videos/14/

from Nykki:

I need a Metropolis clip. I think it's near 13:28 to about 13:47. Just a short clip from when Freder is seen "pushed back" when the large machine in the factory explodes. Sean showed us this part of the film in class the other day. Thanks guys!

Announcements, etc

10.19

The wiki is yours again.

10.13

Original pages are due tonight. The wiki freezes Thursday morning.

Ian will run the 12 Angry Men screening on Monday night. Be sure to see the film before Tuesday

10.12

Wiki Maintenance and Major Edit grades for 10.2-10.8 are up. Way better.

Please let us know what page (or pages) you'd like to review tomorrow. We're looking back at major pages.

Also, we seem to have lost Jessica after all. We may want to take a look at a couple of her pages. The acting page in particular seems like it could house some good work.

10.11

Please indicate which early page you want to talk about Tuesday on the front page.

10.8

On Tuesday, we will look at some early pages and consult on how they can be improved. Everyone should indicate what page she wants to talk about so everyone else can look it over ahead of time.

10.7

Don't forget to read one another's pages carefully for tomorrow.

10.13

New Original Pages:

Camera Movement in La Grande Illusion - Nykki

- Sam on Framing and Soviet Montage... and might justify the weak editing page

-William did his on Acting

10.8

Major edits due tonight:

Air did hers on Jean Renoir

Ian did his on Queer Cinema

Nykki added to the Camera Movement page

Monty broke up and expanded French Cinema

Kathryn worked on Class in Film Hope it's alright, I did this without permission

10.6

Air's Note: I'm sort of using the article "Cocteau's Beauty & The Beast: The Poet as Monster" from last week to work on my page for tonight and I completly forgot the author of said article. If any of you, my fine fellow classmates could tell me the author's name that would be wonderful. Thanks! Also I need the clip of the beast proposing to Beauty the second time, I think its between 46:27 to 46:40.

Sam's response: I think it's.... Michael Popkin? That's the name at the end of the essay... so I'm gonna say that's it.

Sean: Yep, Sam's right. I'll have to grab that clip for Air as the disc's encrypted. Should be able to get it tomorrow.

Air's note: I changed the navigation for the Works Consulted page to something a little more logical like the alphabet. I'm going to go through and get rid of the other anchors on the page but in doing so I may screw up a few times. Just be aware that your sources may die or not actually go anywhere like the about.com link is now. I don't know what happened to it but the page made the link disappear after going back and forth between the source and the regular page. Maybe this is an issue with the wiki? Gremlins in the computers?

Hope they help! --Nykki

Those help a ton thanks! I can't believe I couldn't find them.

-I think it should be decided that Nykki deserves some sort of award for general awesome-ness and industry.

-Seconded.

Ian's Note: I tried to use a custom font for the title of the wiki, but it seems to be reverting back to a decidedly not-exciting font instead. Sorry for messing things up...I'll find a way to get the old silver logo back.

-Sam's comment: I dunno, I kinda like it this way. It's... classy.

-Nykki: like ron burgundy....

all kidding aside I too like the way it looks now, either works though!

-Monty: by the way it was a picture I made so you really can't put it back up without my files or reverting to

a previous version, but if everyone likes this there's no reason too.

And by Orpheus I'm Sure Sean really means The Beauty and the Beast. Although if you'd like to watch Orpheus I'd be more than happy to lend you my copy of the film.

Eisenstein"s Essay by Kathryn

Air's note:

Hey Everyone,

Should we always do a page on the current genre of film we are watching or no? Like for this week we'd be doing a page on the Soviet Montage of Einstein or will that be taken care of with the three pages dedicated to him? Im just thinking that the actualities page might be a little lonely as the only film genre we've covered, especially if we've passed on the cool things happening in Russia, Germany and France during the pre-war years.

Jessica's note about Air's note:

I think that's a totally brill idea!

Ian's note about Air's note in response to Jessica's note:

I second the above brill- it's a really good idea.

William's note in responce to Ian's comment refering to Jessica's reference to Air

It sounds brilliant.
