Reflextion

I not sure what to write here. Not because I didn't learn anything, but because I think that the most important things will come out later in our careers. Or maybe next week, but sometime in the future. A month is a short time to pick up as much Dr.R was laying down but I think what I did Manage to get will be very useful.

I learned a lot about lighting techniques and what goes into the planning of a lighting design. A good deal was said about cameras and lenses and filters. A few editing techniques were discussed. Overall preparedness was stressed.

I think that this class was most fun class I've taken in quite a while and should be mandatory for majors.
Equally I felt that this was one of the hardest classes I have taken. And oh so compact. This class hurt. But enjoyed every minute of it.

Reel & Artist statement





Artist Statement, huh? I think that art should have reason Well I guess my reason is to entertain people. Wether it's comedy or documentary, or acton. I want tell stories about the relentlessness of the human sprit. I want People to have a connection to that they are seeing on screen. That is the most important part.

What is a story? What is a Good Story? What is a story with no one to listen? No matter how good the narrative, if the execution is off, it greatly effects the ability to capture a relationship with the audience. But just as possible, if the visuals are perfect and the editing is as good as it can get, it won't matter if the story is useless.

In the end it is the intertwining of vision, narrative and technique that matter when trying to tell a good story. That is what I am trying to do.
