This happened to be the third time I have seen the Foley Room Documentary and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I personally love seeing what goes on behind the scenes on a film. This was a great part of the film making process to see. I was surprised by the props they used to replicate such recognizable sounds. My favorite example is the rags being shaken to sound like birds flapping. Until I saw this film I had no idea how many sounds were added in post production. I always thought added sounds were saved for fake explosions and other dramatic effects. I would happily watch this film again and again.
Cinerama was an interesting concept to discuss in class, but the film itself became boring very quickly to me. I think this is because the film was not plot driven. It was essentially a demonstration of what was a new technology. Sony and other technologies do these types of demos regularly when showing off a new operating system or video game. I personally found the content very dry. I'm sure if I had been around when Cinerama was invented I would have thought it was visually stunning. Since I have high definition and IMAX to compare it to, Cinerama does not seem that impressive to me. I can absolutely appreciate how important it is to the film industry, but it's difficult to enjoy watching it in current times.
I'm sorry if Cinerama is spelled incorrectly. This was the most popular way of spelling it I could find online. However, the blog is telling me it is incorrect.
