MILK – did not actually see this one but heard many positive reviews if anyone has a link that would be appreciated

LAPSE – I think this crew pulled the idea off pretty well with a nice romantic built up through the action. The main characters confrontation with the people on the street was necessary but the dialogue felt a little weird.

STRANGE NOISES – In hindsight I think this was the most entertaining great opening and characters the strange imaginative views of the mother were good except I felt like i missed bits of the dialogue in these scenes but overall I think it wasn’t an issue.

PRANKING FRANK – some great performances, the end felt very different to the rest of the film but entertaining nonetheless.

GRANNY THEFT AUTO – Despite the character of the granny I feel this film would have benefitted if the Thugs actions were a bit more believable.

SHELTER – The concept behind this film was very bold, I think it could have been a bit more believable if they had created props instead of using calculators and vacuum cleaners.

Q2:

“In 200 words or less please outline your goals, desires – what you want to get out of this semester. You will review this later in the course. Many will rethink this dramatically by the end of the course – this is a good thing.”

No? Go back and have a look.

Now we’d love you to do the same at this end.

Please reflect on how you feel about the course. What surprised you, what excited you, what disappointed you. What we could have done better. What you could have done better.

Feel free to copy and paste what you wrote in week 1 into your response.

A2:

In looking back upon my goals and desires I feel that they were all adequately fulfilled. The lectures were very helpful however I think I would have benefitted more if the tutorials were more structured. They started out strong but after the Lenny exercise they started to fall apart a bit I think if we had just been allocated different exercises each week in our groups similar to the Lenny but perhaps a focus on the weekly subject (lighting, editing etc) would have meant we got more practical experience with our other group members and the equipment.

Just like to finish by saying I think the screening was a really worthwhile and enjoyable event.
