EXPAND YOUR MIND!

Expand your mind: The Best Filmmaker’s TED Talks In this article it reviews speeches provided by these film makers about there ideology on film making and there personal reminiscences through the world of Hollywood. It also points across about how revolutionary these film makers are towards today's cinema and movie making. It discusses how they have had a massive impact on cinema and the certain individual aspects that they have brought in to film making.

 Firstly they discuss Andrew Stanton's heart warming movies such as "finding Nemo" and "Wall-E". The article then begins to discuss on his views upon emotional story telling and how it is a key milestone in the creation of a good film. I found it interesting that hes believes that for a good film to work a story has to make "you care about the characters". This appealed to me as believe this is also a true factor in the art of film.

 They then go on to talk about JJ Abrams and how cinema has significantly changed in the last ten years. A quote that interested me was “Ten years ago to get that shot we’d have had to kill a stuntman.” This fascinated me because it shows how much technology has developed and how even more realistic when can make films without anybody getting hurt.

 My most interesting part of this article was where James Cameron discuses why he got into film making and how his ideas for his most greatest films came about. He also talks about how he always wanted to be a scoober diver as a kid and how his passion for scoober diving linked into his creation of "The Abyss". James Cameron also points out that his reason for making science fiction movies is due to his curiosity of the natural world. Another fascinating fact her stated was when he spoke about the only reason for him wanting to make the "Titanic" was simply due to the fact that he wanted to to visit the wreck. I really enjoyed when he was talking about this simply because Titanic is seen as one of the most greatest films and most disturbing and interesting topics in history but his only reason for making it was a humerus one.
