The best and most enjoyable Christmas movie has to be Elf. It is a timeless masterclass that blends humor that appeals to both children and adults. Watching Buddy navigate through the busy streets of New York City or his extreme excitement towards all things Christmas makes Elf the perfect Christmas film. The witty dialogue and cleverness of Will Ferrell's acting allows for a joyous experience for viewers of all ages. Elf has aged flawlessly creating many memorable quotes and iconic moments. A favorite of mine is the singing scene when Buddy sings along with Jovie as she is taking a shower. Another memorable scene is when Buddy has spaghetti for breakfast with a bunch of junk food like MnMs and chocolate syrup. This Christmas, gather your loved ones, and turn on Elf and enjoy a classic film to let out some laughter too.

Christmas movies continue to bring people together, creating cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether you find a comfort or familiar warmth of classic Christmas film or the humor throughout, the feeling remains magical.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Dylan Morgan, I am currently a sophomore majoring in Finance and minoring in Accounting. Some of my favorite films are from the Star Wars Franchise such as Revenge of the Sith or The Empire Strikes Back. I also enjoy watching Marvel and DC movies like Batman: The Dark Knight. Most movies I watch have something that I enjoy, so choosing a specific favorite film is hard. I chose to take a Film class because I enjoy watching movies in my free time whether I'm alone or watching it with friends or family.

During this scene, it is foreshadowed that she will get her head chop off as she bows off the balcony. The film does not exactly keep of with historical standards, but provides some modernity with many aspects of the. I think that Coppola does this to make the movie more entertaining and watchable because without it, it would seem like strictly a history movie.

One thing that I enjoyed after watching was the use of vibrant colors, I felt like it made the film a lot more visually appealing. My favorite scene in the film ...

Short Film Thoughts

This past week, we had to create a short film to show the class. We were able to chose any genre that we wanted and the filming process was very open to our imagination. My group and I decided to do a Western short film since it wouldn't be too hard. No one had any prior acting or filming knowledge, so we wanted to go with something simple that is also effective. With the film being fairly short, we thought that doing a standard western standoff would be entertaining. We looked at videos online of western standoffs, so that we could get a general understanding of what is needed to make successful film. The filming process was very interesting as no one had prior knowledge of what to do. Doing a Western film was not the best idea since we weren't able to shoot in a desert area and lacked an accurate costume and props. I ended up being one of the main characters, and the one to win the standoff. I wasn't very sure of what to do while shooting, so some of the shots don't ...
