Groups #1, #4, #5, #6, & #7

(I skipped #1 & #2 since they already got their own posts earlier on. Is it fair that those two films got their own and the remaining five have to share? Probably not. But if I don't work it this way, I'll most likely never get around to posting about the others at all. So....here ya go!)
--------------------------------------------------------
Group #1 -- "Coloring of the Soul"

I really liked the way that the coloring was incorporated into the plot of the film. I thought it was a great way to tie things altogether and further illustrate what happened in the story.
--------------------------------------------------------
Group #4 -- "Whiskey & Toothpaste"
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I liked this one a lot. Some of the shots were pretty great; I liked the opening when it cut from showing one man's morning activities to the other's. I also found myself more attached to the homeless guy in this film than to the man in "Poetic Justice"...but I've already touched on that, so I won't get into it again. ;)
--------------------------------------------------------
Group #5 -- "Musical Frequency"
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This one was good. The two scenes that I can remember best are: 1) when the protagonist gets tripped and falls face down to the ground...that was done really well I think...and, 2) the cheesy little scene at the end where he does that little skip/jump for joy...which, I liked that one, too. Sometimes a cheesy little scene like that makes a film all the better. Well, in my opinion at least.
--------------------------------------------------------
Group #6 -- "Trying to Make Friends in the DC, but It Doesn't Work"
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yikes; that really is a huge title! Well, since this was my group's film, my opinion of it is probably fairly skewed by the knowledge and remembrance of everything that went into it. Everytime I saw a particular shot, all I could think of was, "Oh, that was the day when..." or "Yeah, I remember that we had to..." I am fairly content with how it turned out though, and considering how stressed I got at certain points during the project (because whether I needed to be stressed or not, the fact remains that I was...) I suppose that the fact that I don't want to completely forget about it means that it turned out okay in the end.
--------------------------------------------------------
Group #7 -- "Girl v. World"

I got a little confused with this one at first, but by the end I found that I enjoyed it. Initially I wasn't sure if she found happiness in conforming or if she more "found herself" and then happiness and friends followed...regardless of what the message was supposed to be and what it turned out to be, I ended up taking something good away from it, and I thought it was done well. :)
--------------------------------------------------------
Alrighty, so, that's my post on the rest of the groups' films. I know, I know, it's short, and I didn't really say too much, and...I'm sorry. But the more time that passes, the less likely I was to actually post about the rest of the films. And this is better than nothing at least, right?
