Welcome to the Meth Lab (Blog #11)

Even if I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet, the story appears to be pretty intense and complex in parts and I, actually might watch it myself (even though it's over now)

Also possibly, the only thing I knew about Breaking Bad is meth. Simply put right there in bold.



I LEARNED

. Emotions and camera work are a main essential to the workings of television and movies. Without either, a story may as well not take off and the viewers will not, or most likely not understand and go towards a characters story. Though with BB's  (Breaking Bad) case, it's the total opposite. It's really interesting how people could root for a 'villain' character, even with the things that character has done. I, myself, often do root for villain characters. Example's like Loki from Thor and The Avengers. Displaying and playing up the back story of someone, they would understand. 

. POV. Point of View is a major, with writing and acting even. Switching between POV's of characters and also the world, the viewer gets a diverse idea of what is going on, from everyone's perspective. Extremely important! Many, many ways of using POV to the advantage. 

. A Russian filmmaker developed the method on POV, getting inside one's head. Lev Kuleshov built on the technique. This I really didn't know, to my, I thought it was an automatic instinct to do so in filming. Well, I learnt something. 

Make These Opinions Important

. I look highly up to the use of different POV's. In my opinion, It gives the writing a strong cushioning also a complexity to awe readers/viewers. Not some flat-lining knowledgeable piece of bore-fest that just goes with the flow and does nothing to add a backbone as to why, for example, that character is looking for a twinke. (gosh i hope someone gets that reference. if nobody did, this would sadden me so.)  

. More shows and movies need to do this a better way. Really. I just don't want to see explosions all the time for no reason. Even if they are cool. Still, more emotion, less boom-boom.

A Question Has Come My Way

. Now, my question for you!
Any other way people get glued to a screen??
