Although its early on in the studio I really want to know exactly what I want to do for the final piece. It’s about the process of making not the destination or final piece. I’m usually not that good at Uni because its all about reflective writing which I’m not great at. I need to find something I actually want to write about and something I’m inspired to actually do. I really don’t want to bullshit my way though this studio so its vital that I pick something I actually want to do. In the past everything I’ve done has been very layered with music. I love doing this because it builds something which I could never do without cool sounding music. the problem with this is copyright. If I’m going to do this project properly i need to get actual permissions. With some of these songs it might be very hard because they have been long forgotten. If i can get permissions early for songs i will but it just makes it all harder.

Something that Pauls talked a bit about is how student films never really work, especially if they are dramas. I really do believe this to be true. Ive never actually seen a spot on student drama film. Its really non existent and definitely not true to form. I would kind of want to challenge this and see if it is somehow possible to get away with a student drama. But I also understand that Australia doesn’t always produce amazing dramas, which is maybe reflected in low budget Student films. This is why there are so many popular Australian comedies and not dramas because they are simply too hard. Australian films are usually mixed genre and are never pure drama because we dont really see ourselves as serious enough to make anything that is overtly serious. (Disclaimer what I’m saying is obviously not entirely true or measurable)

It might be a bit rich coming from a media student but it is evident that student films are saturated with all the same themes and problems. Its kind of weird to think that we have such good access equipment but no one fully capitalises on it. I really don’t know what i want to do and i dont even know if what i make will be any good. Ive got a lot to think about.
