Breakdown Banshees

This is part two of our breakdown and dissection of, "I Saw the Devil."

At a listener request we deep dive and dissect the film, "I Saw the Devil." This is part 1 of a 2 part episode. 

Have you ever seen a trailer for a movie and gotten so excited to see it, only to find out that the movie was notably different from the trailer that sold you on it? Have you gone to see a movie because reviews and word of mouth built up the films expectations to near godly levels, only to leave disappointed when the movie didn't quite reach those heights when you saw it? Us too. So we decided to look into it. 

Welcome back to part 2 of cinematography and film grammar. Troy, Ashley and I continue our discussion on the importance of good camera work and how the techniques used to shoot a scene can act as a story element. ENJOY!

What does it mean when you hear film makers and critics talk about cinematography? Do you need to spend thousands of dollars on cameras and equipment to be a good cinematographer? Find out the answers to these questions and more in part 1 of our talk with Troy Romo and Ashley Brechtel. 

What does it mean when we talk about a movie's theme? What are we looking for in characters we watch on screen? is there a science to character creation and enforcing theatrical themes in film, or is it like anything else in art, a matter of subjection? Leo Guajardo joins us again in the Rotating Banshee Chair along with special guest Mark Ross, from the Art Institute of San Antonio to figure it all out. 

Welcome to another fun episode of the Breakdown Banshees Podcast. Tonight we dive into remakes. We'll be covering what makes a good remake, what makes a meh remake, and what makes an outright terrible remake using some of our favorites. On this episode we discuss films like dawn of the dead, The Crazies, The Mummy, Ghostbusters, Spiderman, and more. so sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Welcome to the pilot episode of the Breakdown Banshees Podcast. In this episode we are laying down the groundwork for how you can expect those of us doing these episodes to look at film and tv. In today's episode we are discussing "Story" as it applies to film making, and with us is our special guest and former instructor, Prof. Thomas Brecheisen, from the Missouri Western State University Media Department.  We'll be breaking down story structure, applying story concepts to some of our favorite movies, and generally having a good time catching up and swapping ideas.
