Inspiration behind our Fascination Project

 Our Fascination Project revolved around being a goofy sports comedy. We also wanted to incorporate some elements of the films we have watched in class. We found that Wes Anderson's style would mesh well with our Will Farell inspired plot.

When writing our film, we wanted to include dialog that seemed as if it would come out of a Farell film. Naturally this led to a lot of screaming and belittlement. A common dialog theme Farell encompasses is very rash comments that lead to overreactions. We took a lot of inspiration from "Kicking and Screaming" and "Semi-Pro".

As far as our cinematography goes, we tried our best to show off some of Anderson's iconic shots. Some of the highlights being a symmetrical walk-off, a top-down shots and over the shoulder views. Since the majority of our film takes place with the characters sitting down at a table, these shots allowed us to maintain some movement to prevent any stale moments.

The Social Dilemma reflection

 One of the biggest influences in the modern world is social media. Everyone knows what everyone else is doing at almost all times. The Social Dilemma steps up and tackles this issue head on. It may not be the most thrilling documentary, but it is certainly one of the most impactful when it comes to modern day relevance.  The Social Dilemma does have a fictional story aspect to it; however, it is not its strongest part. The scenes can come off slightly cheesy, but they do have function in that they illustrate the impacts of social media and data tracking. Where this documentary shines is in its boldness. They talk to engineers and marketers from all major social media platforms and get valuable information. Although the film may develop too strong of a voice to where it becomes preachy, I have certainly become much more aware of my social media presence its voice is certainly heard.
