George Lucas. Undiscovered Territory.

This article is about George Lucas' brilliant student film back in USC. No we aren't talking about THX 1138 4EB. This was a film hardly anybody knows about. A two minute and forty-eight second mystery thriller that says a lot without saying much. This film was called Freiheit, German for freedom. It shows a boy running from something unknown but terrifying to him. After many qucik cuts with voice overs, he gets killed. A soldier with a gun walks to him and the lines "Without freedom, there's no reason to live." I believe this is important because this was a film where the great George Lucas broke rules of filmmaking but manged to create suspense and mystery within a minute. I also think this is a way to give hope to new ideas and way to create art through film. It opens doors to possibilities and ideas. Reading this as a student, in a way it gives hope to me knowing it is ok to break some rules to get what I want out of my education. It taught me it is ok to be myself and express how I see art through film. As a consumer, I enjoy watching strange films that don't have any points because I love making them up in my mind and creating a world of thought on my own. Why break rules to get what you want in your film. To me, and many other people, film is an art, a passion, a lifestyle that lets you express your feelings or how you see the world. Film gives life to people. It shows people a world they cant imagine. It is an art where rules are meant to be broken to show the true beauty of what can rally come out of it. Rules were made to be broken and I'd say the same for film.

Future Commercials? What will they be like?

Is Short films the future of ads/commercials? This article is about a short film that came about not long ago. Writer for Birdman, Armando Bo, created this short film as a replacement for ads. This sparked something big. Many people reacted to this video. Although it was also meant for entertainment, this film had many reactions. I feel like this article was important because this is big. The whole picture is something that can be the future of commercials or ads on your laptop. This was a short film that entertained people in replace of ads. What caught my eye was the fact that I can read a little article about what our future may hold when it comes to electronics. This article, as a student, impacted me in such a way that I know think there may be even more jobs in the industry because of this true of ad/commercial. Working on these will impact other people's life's as well knowing these are bigger than commercials we have today. Although movies & television & others already do this, I feel as though this may blow the industry up even more with all the jobs needed for a short film for commercials. Many more workers needed means many more jobs.
