Cutting is important because it can make action scenes look smoother, while also making it easier on actors. In the film we made we only had one action, (walking down a hallway)  so it was difficult to do anything with it,  so I made it a joke. I did learn a lot about cutting and how to do I correctly and incorrectly. I learned that some shots  I think look good don't  look good to other people. 

I worked for ITV Fest Tuesday 3-6 and Thursday 3-6, also anytime we were needed during class time. 

I have noticed that some low budget commercials (for local businesses and stuff) have a lot of bad looking jump cuts. I also have noticed the different camera angels that cartoon TV shows use. 

I would try to make something funny but also kind of serious. "What is that?", “It’s a unicorn”, “Never seen one up close before”, “Beautiful”, “Get away, get away", “I’m sorry”. I would use these lines in order besides the unicorn one. Maybe its two people looking at a lion or some sort of predator, and they get chased by it or something like that and one of them apologizes. Then they would see the unicorn and the predator would maul it.

At the beginning of the film, when the old man is waling to the house there is a no music or sound effects, which leaves the viewer questioning whats going on. At this point anything could happen, it could be his grandsons birthday party or he is a well dressed delivery man, ect. ( the point is anything could happen) The camera angles show that the man has a package, and when we are show the sticky note with an address on it, we are being led on that the old man isn't familiar with this place and that its new for him. When the film cuts to when the old man was young and playing with his friends, an ominous wind sound with echoing foot steps sets the mood of fear and hate. The atmosphere is set by showing the audience that run down room, and that this place was deserted with haste, because there is still bread and coffee on the table, with cigarettes that haven't been fully smoked. When the boys hear the noise and the cabinet door opens, it feels like the film turn in to a horror movie. The shots of the boys face show that he is deciding wether to explore or run away with his friends. When you see the Jewish star on the girls arm, the music changes to sad piano and makes the tension go down a bit. But when the scary wind sound effect cuts in again, its really makes you clench your checks. You can see the girls dolls and toys, but the really sad part is when you can see she drew her family, who are dead, taken away by the Nazi's, or left her behind. The viewer gets a sense of discovery when the boy and the little jew girl are talking, but then you almost shit your pants when the Nazi's break the window and start to search. You could tell that the boy was kind because he wasn't disgusted by the girl or turned her in, but when he told her to run, you get that good feeling that he is your favorite character in the film. There are three or so different scenes of the boy giving the unicorn to the Nazi, which in my opinion is to much and they should keep it to one or two scenes. From 2:19 to 2:20 I found a mistake. There are pictures below, but in one scene the Nazi has a hat, but in another one he doesn't. When the unicorn breaks you feel bad for the boy and the girl, but when the Nazi steps on it I just want to shout "what a dick".  There is a lot of cutting on action in this film but when the old man opens the box with the unicorn in it, it cuts to when its in the Jewish women's hands, and I think that is way better than watching the women pick up the unicorn. My favorite part of the whole film is when the old women look at the old man, (kind of like she remembers him now or something) and the camera slowly zooms out.
