Reflection

Quite recently we have just finished our block of writing classes with Richard. With him being away, writing has been something I have missed quite a bit and I really enjoyed getting my teeth into it again - writing has always been the direction I want to go. I was quite happy with my idea, however I found it quite stressfull re-drafting again and again. I've learnt that its all just part of the process and, being a bit of a perfectionist I enjoyed working on this. I found that sharing our ideas as a class was also useful as we could feedback to eachother. Everybodies ideas were all very interesting which made me look forward to shooting our end of year film as I would be equally as enthusiastic shooting any one of our scripts and not just my own.

After finding out that Harry and Meg's scripts were chosen I got a sense that the whole class were pretty pleased with the choice. I chose to work on production as a sort of challenge to get me to organise my self a bit more.

I'm also quite excited about the idea Dilara and I are working on with Adam. Not only is the idea of having online content really interesting, but we are also thinking of different ways to include music and interaction as well.

We also had a brief tutorial with Gavin about out edits. We worked on these a while ago and I remember being quite proud of it at the time, but having had little practice recently I've managed to forget quite a bit. The creative process of actually editing the footage is alright, but finding my way into the programme and saving projects seems to get a bit confusing still. This is nothing a bit of revision won't cure.

I've particularly enjoyed the last few screenings - I can't believe I hadn't seen Bonnie and Clyde before as it was definatly one of my favorite screenings. It's interesting to learn that different films in the 70's had changed how people of that generation thought whether it be in terms of race or gender or politics.
