6 bai....One : the Zequel

If i were to redesign the course, I am not sure i would really change too much :D basically, this was a nice change in subject matter that ended up being an enjoyable class where we essentially got to play around and experiment with a bunch of interesting and new techniques! this was the first amount of film i had ever shot, even if it was in the form of super 8mm, and for some reason it just felt so good to pull the trigger and feel the click of the shutter going at 18 fps! (thus i am looking forward to cinematography...) but alas, this is my last blogg, and looking back I noticed just how much stuff we actually covered. the scratching, the painting, the one take, the race, 3D!, the rhythmic! Id say the only thing i wasnt too excited about was the re-contextualization of found footage assignment. it seemed like weve done this in other classes (i guess the only one would be intro to editing), but I think that we couldve done something a little more exciting and experimental as we had been doing previously. I guess to me just simply editing stuff is so common now with youtube, and everybody is making personal mixes of footage theyve found and I dunno, I guess its become kinda boring. Maybe something else to replace it? Im sure there are some awesome things to try, though I cant seem to really think of any at the moment... but overall, id say this course is a heaven-sent for the film department, since its lack of production-friendly courses leave many of the students starving for more hands on and sick of papers... guh. so Thank you Dr. Dre for providing a spark of excitement that gives us films students more exposure (pun may or may not be intended :P) to alternative modes of film production. Thats what this world needs, creativity in can. One that can be cracked open as soon as possible. Gracias BLBOLBoblboboblbl.............................................................
