Question Hey, I thought I would ask a question because I loved the movie Van Helsing and was just curious about the way in which the movie has been made so that you get the whole action adventure feeling. The editing of shots, special effects, the way the camera moves, the colours, costumes all those types of things. This type of stuff I find really interesting how certain things are done in the film and how you get the connotations and that. You opinions, thoughts etc would be really appreciated , thanks! Jess
Answer I am completely on board with you in this, jessica! that's what i love about movies. its actually amazing how all these different elements are worked by all different kinds of people to bring you into this fantasy world for just a few hours.
My favorite subject by far is costuming. I had aspired for the LONGEST time to be a costume designer for films. I am still doubting today the direction i'm headed in anthropology. i'm torn between it and a fashion major...lol...quite opposite ends of the spectrum, hey?
if you really want to get down and dirty with the technical aspects and such, my best recomendation would be to check out the extras on the dvds. in movies like van helsing, they ALWAYS have cool stuff like that...i also recommend checking out the extras on the Underworld and Lord of the Rings dvds...HOURS of awesome watching...
