So much for trying

So evidently as you can see this whole blog thing hasn't worked out very well. It's been almost three months since my last post, and I can assure you I haven't tried much of the blogging even though I know that I have had time. Guilty. But I'm here now and I will gladly ignore my last statement and recommence once more.

These last three months have involved much of my summer vacation. Which would most likely sound like many exciting and fun things to blog about, unfortunately it has not completely been so. The highlight of my summer has to be the HBP release. As many Harry Potter fans, it has been quite a wait for this release with all the date changes, but finally it is out.

I really enjoyed the movie when it comes down to effects, shots, scenery, and all that production type of stuff. Every since I began taking film production classes, it seems that every time I watch a movie, that is the first aspects I notice. I really liked the colors used in the movie it made it feel so Potterlike(?). The next thing I noticed of course was how much of the book was in the movie. I think there were several chunks of important information missing from this movie that I think should have somehow been at least hinted to because I'm not quite sure how they are going transition them to the next one. The one scene that kind made me a little like 'OMG what is this!?" was the burrow fire scene. I read via Leaky the reason as to why Yates decided to add this scene. It kind of makes sense but at the same time its like what are you going to do about the wedding scene. I understand that if the viewer has not read the book, it is difficult to understand the magnitude of what is occurring. Another thing that I liked was that it was funny. Scenes like the felix felicis and where Harry and Ron are talking about Ginny and Dean were so funny. Tom Felton's did a fantastic job portraying Draco's situation. I could probably gone on forever about other stuff about the film but all in all as a film I enjoyed it.

Besides that anticipation, my summer has involved a lot of family gatherings, reading, learning to play keyboard, a quinceanera, game nights, and staying home hitting up the interwebz. I start school on the 17th of this month and its basically around the corner. Kind of excited for it in a kind of strange crazy way but at the same time not. The not part is because I start school at 8am this semester and I was getting used to my 930am classes, at least it will only be twice a week. Well its late and I must wake up early later to take my sister to band camp, so I'll hopefully see ya'll soon.
