I took a class called Ollywood. In this class, we discussed cinematography, screenplay, acting and other topics relating to movies. For this class, we have taken many FEs to amazing places such as the Siskel and Ebert movie theater to watch a documentary called The Area which featured the struggles of people living in Englewood. We also had representatives from the Goodman theatre come and help us read out a screenplay with proper inflections and tone. So far I have found this class to be very interesting and really have learned a lot about movies and have gained a better appreciation for them, every time I watch a movie I actually look at the details and the characters and how they are portraying their part. I think the biggest takeaway is really understanding the context of the scene and seeing if what's happening is what should be portrayed.
