Hello class,

I am currently exploring different creative technological outlets. I have taken a photography class in the past and am interested in learning more about cinema. Also, I feel that the current culture heavily relies on video to communicate and interact, so understanding the basics of film will be beneficial in understanding how to effectively communicate in a large scale.

Here are just a few of my favorite videos from an independent creator, Jack Stauber

Seltzer

Five

Take Tooth?

I like Jack Stauber’s videos because they are simple yet very effective. Their topics range from an obscure concept to an everyday situation, they are short, they use simple dialogue and scenes and are in a unique style. I would like to pursue this simple kind of style in this class.
