The reason I chose Bobby is because he is one of my good friends and has been shooting surfing photos of me for a few years now. He always gets really excited to shoot and brings a really good energy. My favorite thing about his photography is that it is very natural, Bobby makes sure to get a surf in or have some fun before shooting and I think that comes in his images.

A Hard Day's Night Response

A Hard Day's Night- Credit- Richard Lester

The film A Hard Day's Night was in my opinion very influential. This was a big part in showcasing The Beatles and their talents. The film was very new for its time and got a lot of recognition. I really like the feel of the film, the guys are so raw in the film despite it probably being mostly staged, there is a artistic taste in every shot of the film, many of these shots hold value still today. The visuals in the film compared to Life Magazine while both very impactful are very different. The film feels very staged to me but with the movement and sound the film is really good a keeping your attention. The Life Magazine images are beautiful in their simplicity. Though the image is still it gives off so much energy arguably more then the film.

The Diving Bell and Butterfly Reaction

The Diving Bell and Butterfly Reaction

T. Cooper

The film The Diving Bell and Butterfly was a very interesting and different film about a man who had a stroke and is diagnosed with locked in syndrome. Through the film we can hear the man speak but none of the doctors or nurses can, this frustrates the man as he becomes bitter and questions what is being done to him. I found the film to be very drawing. I couldn’t help but put myself in the mans place and feel what it would feel like to be imprisoned in ones body.  We could see what the man was seeing and hear what he is saying. The POV shots made it easier to pretend like you were the person the experience was happening to. The use of the sound of the mans breathing also added tension to what was happening and drew more emotion in my opinion. Over all I enjoyed the film
