It's April and that means the A to Z Blogging Challenge!
This year my theme is film terms.

Location, where a movie takes place, increases the authenticity and realism of the film's appearance. The location can be is so important that it almost becomes a character itself. In Midnight in Paris (2011), the magnifent views of Paris are vital to the film.
Just dropping by on the A to Z Blogging Challenge. The name of your blog caught my attention. I'm from Oklahoma and an Oklahoma song writer and singer Roger Miller did "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd." I agree about the importance of Location -- not just in movies, but in books, too. For that matter, in life. Thanks for getting me to thinking.
ReplyDeleteHi, Claudia! Roger Miller's song did inspire the name of my blog (and film production company). My family is from Oklahoma, too! My dad lives in Stroud and my moms' kin lives in OKC and Tulsa. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSome of the locations on my "bucket list" were added because the area looked so beautiful in a film. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Trudy. Location in a film is so key. I love the location shots!
DeleteI think a great job would be scouting locations for shows and movies. So many movies are showed in locations other than where they're pretending to be.

I agree. Locations inspire most of my filmmaking ideas. That would be an awesome job scouting locations. Many films set here in Wyo were shot in Canada (Brokeback Mountain and An Unfinished Life) or New Mexico (Longmire). Mostly because Wyoming doesn't offer the best incentives for filmmakers to shoot here. We are trying to change that.
DeleteMy ex-husband's internship was at our film commission--they'd drive around and shoot photos of possible location shoots. Seemed interesting...until you realized they were just driving around taking photos!
ReplyDeleteLOL. That sounds fun to me because I love to drive around taking photos.
DeleteI have always loved movies but not cared that greatly for television. When I learned movies were more about showing versus telling, it made sense. I've always enjoyed just driving down roads and looking at the scenery.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Ann, movie are all about showing. I like being able to tell a story without words, which is what film can do beautifully.
