First class (Film Appreciation)

I had my first class today which was Film Appreciation, of which I had to walk to an off-Campus building and freeze my ass off because my car wouldn't start lolz. This class is supposed to teach the student how to appreciate and analyize Movies as an art form. From what the professor said, we have 10 chapters that we will go over with a quiz at the end of each (We can take it twice!) and 10 Film tests that we take which will coincide with each chapter.

One thing that my professor said that I found very shocking was that, since this class is fairly new, they haven't yet standardized what films to present in class. According to him, in the previous years, there were some videos that were rated X to appreciate the "Artwork"! =O Rofl, what the hell were they thinking? But apparently they have now set a limit to films being Rated R at the max.

I am very excited about this class because I very much enjoy films and learning how to appreciate them as an art form is very interesting to me. Also... it counts as a Humanities credit for my General Education credits. Ha Ha =) The professor reminded me of Fonzie and Adam Richman from "Man v Food", because of his leather jacket and hair straight from the 50's. He also entered the room "Fashionably Late", *cough* 15 minutes, and started violently grabbing a nearby desk and table which made my friend to make a funny observation and said "Haha this guy looks like a badass."

I am largly considering to start a blog that will hold any movies that we view in my class, or just ones I like, aswell as my thoughts and analyses because I wish to share whatever knowledge I can gain from this class with whoever cares to listen. So if you're interested in Films or just want learn about the artwork of film making, stay tuned for my next blog. For now, I'm going to read up on my textbook and head to my next class in an hour... on the sixth floor with the elevator shut down for mantaince. Nooooo!

Aside from the goofy professor and loads of familar faces in this class, I believe this will be one the classes I will enjoy the most during this "Spring" Semester.
