The god will save me
Sohyun.Park
I choose, the god will safe me, Dean, Areum and Emily’s film which written by Mengshen. The story is about the man’s life. There is a man and god in this story. One day there are big flood in his town, so he doesn’t know what to do. So he went to the balcony and waited for god’s message. Suddenly, a man who riding on a camel said “I can save you, can u come down stair?” He said no and a man was gone. The flood is worse than before. Later man who riding on a boat said “I can save you, jump down the balcony.” However he said “no” and a man was gone. The flood is worse and worse. So finally he climbed the roof. A helicopter can save him but he said “no”. At the end of the story, he died and met the god. He asked the god “why you are not save me?” The god said to him “oh poor guy, I sent three mans to save you but you said no!”
In the film, Emily acts the main character, Dean acts god and Areum acts the man who is helping the main character. I think they remember whole of the sentence in the film is pretty good thing. Also they use lots of sound effects such as helicopter sound, rainy sound and storm sound. When I heard the helicopter sound, I feel like the helicopter almost closed. It makes me so real.
My favorite effect which they used is “drawing picture”. As you know, they cannot find the camel, boat and helicopter. So it is really good idea for making film, if they cannot find material which they need. Beside when I see the film, that drawing helps to understand the film’s story. One thing I desired this film is that I cannot hear their voice very well. If they fix this problem, it would be great for film.
I brought some valuable advice from Mengshen’s story which is that “The god will save me”. Other words, I can learn if you have a chance in your life, take the chance immediately. If you miss that, you will regret bitterly.
The Movie review ; The truth of misconception.
The Movie review ; The truth of misconception.
The truth of misconception. At the first time, I could not imagine what the main story about this, and I read that story again and again. However, after watching this movie, I could understand clearly about that story. Personally, I usually enjoy reading a book more than watching a movie since book is made me to imagine their situation, their background, and so on. So I really interested in imagine about that story. However, through this movie, I thought a movie is enough to give some interesting for viewer, and sometime, it is better than a book.
The movie which is The Truth of Misconception is about story of Jessica who is a smart girl. It happened on one day when she studied in the library. She wanted to go to library to study for her SATs but on one morning, she arrived at there but she could not find a seat. Few minutes later, she could sit down the middle of one table. On that table, 5 guys already seated and studied. After sitting down that place, her nose started runny. As a result, 4 guys on that table leaved from there one by one, but only one man still seated next to her. After a while, she wanted to leave from there. At that time, she heard the sounds of farting.
This movie is based on the Julia` s story and group 1 was well-edited to a new movie. I have some reasons for this.
First of all, in the movie, Jessica’s monologue was perfect. Her voice’s tone, volume, and so on was well-fitted on their movie. I mean, Boram’s voice is really good at Jessica. So her voice was enough to describe her feeling and thinking.
Secondly, their background music was perfect to their movie’s atmosphere. The movie was little bit calm and tranquil. So background music was well-fitted on it. If that music has a lyric that made viewer was confused and viewer will not be able to concentrate to the movie.
And also, their multimedia techniques are really nice. As well as the starting the movie, all of their skills are advanced skills. Their movie was made with their skills, as a result, it was become a great movie.
The truth of misconception could give some interesting! It was really funny and because of the sounds effect, all of viewer was laughing! With above reasons, I strongly recommend this movie to others!
The Movie Review " The New Life"
The movie “The New Life”, which is based on Areum’s story, is a movie about a girl. She thinks that her life is continuous of tediousness and spends her precious time without ambition of life. This movie started with the scene that the girl grouses about her monotonous daily life as soon as she wakes up in her bed. And then, she gets out of her room to go to school as usual. When she crosses the crosswalk, she realizes that a car is coming toward her rapidly. In an instant, she’s dead. She doesn’t recognize her death and can’t accept the reality that she is dead. After a while, she regrets about her life because she have never lived her life passionately in any cases. The last scene is in her room again. She is lying in her bed and wakes up in her bed. That’s right. It was her dream. She is delighted that she is still alive and determines that she is going to live the rest of her days with ambition.
Settings, back ground music, and editing are all good in this film. Especially the back ground music grabs the audiences’ attention. In movie, the back ground music decides the ambience of specific scene. From clam music to strong music, all sound tracks matched appropriately in this movie. Settings are also perfect. I could feel her enervated personality through her dark and glooming room. The flow of the scene is also natural so that I can easily understand the story of this video. The most interesting element in this movie is outtake collection that is end of this video. While watching the outtake collection, I couldn’t help but laugh because of their funny actions and clumsy mistakes. Julia and david’s acting are also nice to watch even though their inexperienced acting. For these reasons, I could watch this movie with joy.
GOD WILL SAVE ME
MOVIE REVIEW: GOD WILL SAVE ME
The movie was about a drown Teacher after his city was attacked by heavy flood and he happened to be the only survivor but ignorantly believed that God will send His angels with wings to come and rescue him which God indeed sent but not in the form of angels with wings as he believed but in the form of man because God’s thinking is not like that of a man.
The first day, God send a camel farmer from another village to save this teacher and when asked to be rescued, the Teacher said no that he is waiting for angels from God and all he has to do is to pray which he did.
The second day, another angel came in the form of a boat man to rescue this drown Teacher but rather than go with this man, he turned the offer down and said my God whom I serve will send His angel with wings and save me, all I have to do is to pray and he engage in another prayer session.
The third day, God send a rescue team with helicopter to save this man again, but he still decline the offer waiting for angels with wings from God until his body couldn’t take it again due to cold and hunger and he eventually died.
On getting to heaven, he ask God while he neglected him in the time that he needed him most by not sending an angel to him and God answered him and said I sent three angels to you on different occasion but you declined there offer.
This movie has really thought us a lesson in that in spite of our believe, God will neither come down from His throne will He send an angel with wings to our rescue but will use a fellow human being to help us in time of our problems.
This Teacher’s ignorance to how God work make him to suffer on earth and still condemn in heaven. My advice to everybody is to always use our senses and go for any opportunities that comes our way when we are in need.

The Movie Review about "The New Life"
For the final project, we were put into three groups, with each group creating a single movie based on last project, which was to write a fiction story. As a result of this, we totally made three movies, which are “The truth of misconception”, “The new life” and “God will save me”. Of the three, the most interesting movie was “The new life” to me. That’s not only because I wrote this story, but also because it was described and filmed better than I imagined when I made it.
The following is a brief summary of this movie. It’s the story about a girl who feels bored with her life and is interested in nothing at all. One day, on her way to school, she had a car accident. When she wakes up, she realizes she was dead! She cannot believe this, so she heads to her home. There, she realized how boring her life was and how terribly she lived. She thinks that if she had one more opportunity to live, she would live differently from the past. Thinking about this, she falls asleep, and after few hours later, she wakes up and is told about her accident. All of a sudden, she feels her eyes are filled with tears and realizes the real value of life.
While watching this movie, I could find some good points. First of all, the sound effects of the movie were appropriate in different situations. They include the sound of alarm clock, car accident, and ambulance. Second of all, it has a scene taken from a distant angle and a close-up scene, which maximize effect of the situation. Third of all, some pictures were inserted in place of the scenes that are difficult to film, and it kind of reminds the audience of something like cartoon or animation, which could make this movie funnier and more interesting, I think.
When we go to the theater, it’s not that hard to find a movie which a written story was adapted into. I thought it would be an easy task, because it already had the completed story. However, through this project, I could realize the difference between written story and scenario and the way they express the world. When it comes to making a movie, we have to consider a variety of things, like sound, props, actors and actresses, and background. It means that, unlike a written story, we need to think of three-dimensional aspects to make the movie look more natural and realistic.

The Truth of Misconception:A story with a smelly ending
Las week the movie The Truth of Misconception was released. The Truth of Misconception is the story of Jassica, a very studious girl that is trying to keep it up and studying as hard as she can for her SATs. One morning, she wakes up with a runny nose and the same day, she arrives to the library, and because it´s fairly late she cannot find a seat anywhere, until after minutes and minutes of looking for one, she finally finds an empty chair in a table for 6 people and decides to sit down and start studying. Because of her runny nose, every single person at the table leave little by little, all except another student that cannot stop staring at her until she feels uncomfortable and she leaves, no before hearing a funny noise.
From the beginning of the movie we can see how skillful the editors of the movie are. They did a great job presenting the 2 main actors at the beginning of the movie where we don´t know what the story is about yet, so we can´t judge any of the characters, but we meet them as equals.
As for the sound part, the soundtrack chosen for the film couldn't suit it any better. It´s not slow but not quick either. It is funny and easy to follow. It keeps the audience totally entertained by it. In the presentation it seems as if the characters were moving at the song´s speed, marvelous.
The acting was pretty good too, both Mengshen and Boram try not to be scared by the camera and since there wasn´t that much actual dialogue in between the characters, following the lines and the pauses is not something that the audience has to worry about. Also, the fact that they decided to record the voice on top of the movie as her thoughts was pretty clever, once again, editors, I wouldn't have been able to do it myself!
Finally, I would say that what it makes this movie great is the fact that it doesn´t seem artificial! Who has never had a runny nose? And what about...being late to a place and not finding any empty places for oneself?? We have all been students at some point and we have all been at a library at least once. The audience can really connect with the movie and relate it to themselves. This group makes the film very smooth, natural, and enjoyable. Very good, I would say that this group knew what they wanted and they knew how to get it all together. It can be told that they knew how to use all the applications in the program we used. I loved it! Congrats!
The movie review
The review of The New Life
There are several important things for a good movie, the resolution of picture, the sound effects, the conversation between characters and the plot. I think The New Life achieved all these goals.
First of all, the movie is clear and steady.
I think a clear and steady picture is the basic thing for a movie, especially for the audiences. If a movie is shaky, audiences will feel dizzy and nauseous. When audiences cannot focus on your movie, they will lose their interests immediately, no mention try to figure out what deep meaning your movie is trying to present. What’s more, the shot should have focus, not matter is the main characters or a certain object, it will help the audiences to concentrate on the plot.
Secondly, the sound effects are good.
In a movie, sound effects and background music is another important factor. They work like catalyzer in a chemical reaction. With sound, the feeling and emotion can be amplified hundreds of times. And it’s helpful to clarify the type of move. Please mute the movie when you watching it, if you never watch our movie before, I’m sure that you will have lots of question marks in your head. What kind is this movie? What happens in the movie? Why are they talking about? You may figure out something from it, such as setting, characters and time, but nothing else. But if you turn on the sound, I’m sure you will immediately say this is a comedy or tragedy because of the lively or sad background music. And your emotion will change according to the music.
Thirdly, the monologue is clear and loud.
A good monologue or conversation should be loud, clear and no grammar mistake. Because monologue is an important way for audiences to get information about the story. To me, if I cannot hear what the characters are talking, I have no patient to keep watching. Since this movie was took place in a , the actress have a long monologue in self talking and mind, and the last short conversation. Thanks to the actor and actress clear pronunciation and good quality recording equipment, they achieved all these requirements.
Fourthly, the consistency.
This movie presented a complete story. It introduced the background information at the beginning, then the cause, course and the end. The consistency makes the audience easy to understand and follow. When audiences finish the movie, they will still remember because it’s logical. Why consistency is so important? I can explain it with an example. I still remember when I first time watching The Matrix, I can’t follow the plot at all until my fourth time. It jumps from a fake world to the real world frequently. But I am not saying The Matrix is not a good movie, what I mean is in a short movie like we did, we should make it easy to understand and follow.
What’s more, the meaning of this story is so appositive.
Finally, the most intering and the most important part, the moral.From this movie, I learned that rather than chasing something I do not have, I should appreciate something I already had.
That’s why I think this movie is best.

The Movie Review
Mengshen said about his book as a base for the movie God Will Save Me “It’s good to have principles when achieving a goal, but don’t be too stubborn when others offering helps. Change your mind. Think again, it might be your real chance”. The movie teaches us well why he pointed out the importance of accepting other’s help.
The Movie is all about a religious girl who prays every day for everything. One day, a serious flood attacked her town and destroyed all the houses besides hers. She went up to the roof and prayed to God to save her. While she was praying, she had several chances to be rescued but she refused all because she believed God save her. Despite her belief, she was drowned and met Got in the heaven. She couldn’t understand why God didn’t save her. But then the God told her the true meaning of his help.
Of course, the movie makers as students couldn’t afford to have real setting and props for the movie. However, this is such a great movie because they did the great work to make the movie realistic with three major factors: the costumes, the pictures, and the sounds.
First of all, the actresses wore the costumes which can symbolize the characters well. The costumes are one of the important factors that make the movie more interesting and realistic. Even though the setting is perfect it is easy to ruin the movie, if there is no proper dress. However, they wore the right dress such as turban scarf for the man with a camel, blue stripe-shirt for sailor, and pure white shirt with lace for God so that the audience could realize their characteristics. Their costume helped a lot to increase the reality of the movie.
Second, the use of pictures made the movie far more interesting. They used many pictures of flood so that the audience can feel urgency of the situation. Also, they used drawing of the manner of given helps and all of them played important role to make the better movie. Especially, the effect of drawing of helicopter was really awesome. They put the helicopter just in front of the camera so that it looks much bigger than the actress. There was no doubt that the pictures made more interesting and entertaining movie.
Lastly, the sounds effects helped to make it a better movie. They used various sounds such as wind, flood, rain-dropping, and the noise of helicopter for the better explanation of the setting. Although the sky in the movie was clean, the sounds made the audience under the illusion of flood. The sounds effects caused the movie to become good.
Overall the movie, God Will Save Me was great. However, there was a small thing should be improved for the perfect movie. Sometimes, the sounds effects were too loud to distract the conversation of the actresses. It would be wonderful if it has lower volume of sounds in the movie. Despite of this weakness it is safe to say that the movie was truely a great piece.

Movie Review Assignment
I choose the movie, the truth of misconception. Although I was the author of this story, I could felt that the story got better with seeing with the movie; it was easy to understand the scenario. The brief story is that a nose runny girl goes to the library; however, she was forced leave the library by a man because of her nose. When she was leaving, she hears the sound of farting. By reading or listening of this story could be not interesting and bored. However, the film brought the interest back to the audience. There are two reasons why I like this story. First reason was how they directed and filmed this movie that they filmed and dubbed the dialogue and speech. Second reason was that the actors and actresses acted so well that they even added extra actors to make it more professional.
First, this movie was well directed that they did not distracted other students while they film the movie. Because the movie took a place in the library, it was probably hard to film in the library because the students were supposed to be quiet all the time. However, they thought about another students that they dubbed the dialogue after they film the movie. Also they added many sound effects such as runny nose and fart sound. This was really thoughtful. In addition, they introduced each character before the movie began that it was easy to understand the movie while I was watching; if they did not introduce the character, then the story could be complicated. Also, the actors assimilated the each character that they pointed out the important characteristics. For example, the protagonist has to be look like a nerd, so she wore the glasses and dressed up like a nerd. Also, she was holding a huge book that it looked like readable by only the nerd.
Second, they used the extras in this movie that those extras heavyweight in the movie. Unlike other movies, this movie was probably needed many extras, so they hired other extras. The interesting facts about those extras were their acting was almost professional actors. The story could be well improved because of extras. Even extras gave a strong impression that I could remember every single extra’s faces. I think I enjoyed this movie because there were extras.
I was worried about the filming this movie because it needed many characters and sound effects. I actually surprised after watching this movie because the movie explained the story perfectly that some of the part was better than original story. If I directed this movie, I probably could not film it like the way they did. Therefore, I choose this movie as my favorite movie among the rest of movies.
Movie Review: The True of Misconception
Plot:
The story started with a library girl who went to the library for preparing for exams then happened something awkward but funny thing with her running noise in the library. She was trying hard to stop her running noise in order not to bother the other students' studies after she found a empty seat in the crowded library. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the annoyed noise from blowing her noise made not only her but also the other people around her fail to concentrate on studying. Therefore, those people gave up their studying and left the seat one by one, except for a headphone guy. He was listening to the music at that moment so he didn't hear any noise around him. However, he started looking at her after the study table only left the girl and him. Why he kept looking at me? Did I bother him? He kept smiling to me! The girl couldn't help wondering. Suddenly, the sound of fart exposures in the air from the headphone guy, he looked at the girl embarrassedly. She suddenly realized what he tried to convey at last moment, they were both suffering the pain from failing control the situation.
Opinion:
From the first scene, the "IEP Film Maker" popped out on the screen with the background voice was really good. I felt like I was going to watch a real movie in the movie theater.
The introduction was also very creative; we were able to watch some later scenes beforehand with bright color background. I also like the music through the whole movie. It was matched with the story and the atmosphere very well. It was very delightful.
It's interesting that they use different angles to film so audience could understand each scene from different views and help the plot move more fluently.
The sound effects were perfect, without these appropriate funny noise and sound, this movie wouldn't be so successful. Besides, it seemed more funny and interesting for me that the dubbing sound for the main character was quite claim but the situation was actually quite embarrassed.
The description was also very clear; it helped audience to know what's exactly going on.
Though not only the background and the sound effect but also the action from those character's acting, it is a really worthy movie to watch, I strongly recommend every body to watch it!
