True to form? What is true to form and is it possible contemporary practice to develop something which is true? How easy is it to make something which is not true to its form? I put this class at the top of my ballot because it seemed like one of the more creative studios that allows actual freedom (and less essay writing). Im still a bit lost and unsure where I will be going with my projects which is why i think ill need a little bit of guidance/boundaries. It is however exciting because there seems to be a lack of boundaries. S0 maybe this is the exact studio I should be in.

I don’t know what to expect yet which is both good and bad. You’ll find it takes me a while to get warmed up to work and when I’m confused this takes even longer (of course it does). When I do make things I end up putting too much pressure on myself especially when I’ve had ages to think but a deadlines close. So i’m not too bad at submitting things and completing them close to the date. I probably have a slight OCD when it comes to creating and I’m aware I go pretty bad when it comes to group work when I feel like the shot has to be perfect. Its both a good and bad trait of mine.

I guess what I want from this course is a deeper understanding of the ‘workflow’ and methods of film production. I can make things but I don’t actually know the ‘true’ way of organising a shoot and the conventional way of editing the footage (my timelines are often very messy and time consuming). I really want to learn the best way to organise files and ways to backup projects. I don’t want this to be the focus of my investigation or research but I think I will discuss in future posts the process’s. So what I really want to develop is a professionalism in the pre/post production phases that I can then apply outside of the course (what most people want out of the degree).
