Technical Errors

- Low key lighting

I had trouble with the Low-Key lighting because I didn't use a strong enough light source. Although it looked like it was enough on the LCD screen on my camera, upon uploading it and reviewing it, there was clearly not enough light to make anything out in the video.

Lighting & Shadows

Health and safety in the studio; I ensured all lights were turned off in between the shoots so the bulbs would not get too hot and hurt someone or burn out and break.

Health and safety in the classroom ensure all desks are out of the way and all wires are secured to the floor.

Ossessione

Ossessione (Obsession) is an Italian 1943 film based on the novel The Postman Always Rings Twice, by James M. Cain. Luchino Visconti’s first feature film, it is considered by many to be the first Italian neorealist film, though there is some debate about whether such a categorization is accurate.

Neorealism

Neorealism in Italian filmmaking meant rebelling against Mussolini's era of filmmaking, which was copying America's blockbusters and ignoring the realities of real Italian life.
Most of the films made post-wwII were filmed on location of war torn streets, showing how poor post-dictatorship life was for the Italians.

Neorealism

"The proponents of this politically committed reaction to the glossy, studio-bound, Hollywood-influenced productions approved by Mussolini’s regime were determined to take their cameras to the streets, to neglected communities and their surroundings, to show the ‘real Italy’ in all its diversity. Here was a new kind of cinema, one that returned to its roots, a people’s cinema that chronicled the struggle against Nazism but also highlighted the hardship and upheaval of the post-war period." - Sight & Sound magazine May 2013
