This museum is literally 20 minutes away from my house, so I thought, why not? I loved this museum when I went before, I thought I might as well check it out again after all of the renovation. My favorite part was the gaming section. There were tons of old arcade games that you could play! I'm a fan of video games so I loved that fact that you could play these arcade games(including super mario and sonic) Although, paying for it was a hassle. Aside from this, going through all of the museum and seeing the collections of makeup design all over the place was amazing. It's fun to see if you can guess where a specific prop was from just by looking at it. Everything looked really real. I wanted to touch everything in there. We watched different films from the past, learning about how they were made and how they used to color in the film! Watching the way they used to make movies, compared to now is insane. The video cameras compared to now is quite different. Everything was much larger and heavier! Even much more expensive. The T.V. sets in the 1950's were interesting as well! They were all shaped like house appliances to get women into watching T.V.! I went with a friend of mine. Both of us liked the hands on things that you could do. Like taking photos! Or making a frame by frame flipbook. It's really funny. Especially when you do something really ridiculous. When we got to the audio booth, we knew we could have fun with it. You could put your voice into a movie. We did not, at all, put our voice in correctly, or with the right accent but it's hilarious to hear your voice out of the context you're used to. There was barely anybody there. We could just go over and over if we wanted to. There was even a section were you could change the sountrack of a movie to change the pace and feeling. It was actually extremely interesting! Music really does make the scene. The last thing we decided to do was the sound "library". How they choose sounds to go into movies. It wasn't a shock to me because I heard about it before but the thing they like to highlight in the Titanic movie was the elephant wailing sound slowed down to mimic the breaking of the watertower. All in all, it was great to just go to a museum with a friend for extra credit.
