Week Nineteen

OK last week of the semester before mid year holidays, and to be honest it couldn't come soon enough for me. It will be great to recharge the batteries after a few weeks of stress and frantic last minute handing in of assessments involving a few all nighters. The semester has had its highs and lows like anything in  life I suppose, with the directing unit more highs I'm happy to say. The class was quickly one of my favourites, with its later 10:30 am starts (which I still managed to occasionally be late to) and laid back vibe. The main aspect I enjoyed from the lectures was breaking films down and looking deeper than just the visual elements, and seeing the intricacies of directing in more detail than I have seen or noticed till now. It has been a real eye opener for me and I am excited to see just how much more I will learn next semester.

My subjective assessment which I screened this week got quite a few laughs from the rest of class, which was unexpected and entertaining I was told which was satisfying. Although not all of the shots were subjective, which this time I did expect would be the case. Unfortunatelye had to rush the shoot as myself and crew had other commitments on the day so we didn't manage to get all the necessary shots. When I was editing I knew this was the case so I had to use what I had, so it's not a case of me misunderstanding the concept. Anyway check it out and feel free to let me know what you think.
