Throughout the course of this studio I want to be able to explore, develop, and hone my own creative style; to look into what I regard as my own personal flair. In order to achieve this I further aim to build a small series of stylised videos, slowly but exponentially getting better as I create them. If I’m able to create a small but humble little collection of videos that I can happily share and be proud of, then I will be more than happy and satisfied with the studio. Although, in conjunction with this I’d be more than happy to be surprised and learn new skills, techniques, styles, and work collaboratively with classmates, in fact, I aim for that to happen. To enter with one goal and end with having achieved multiple in the process would be a dream.
To me, or at least from I can gather thus far, this studio is a chance for us to learn from example, from those around us, and with a guiding hand learn to better understand ourselves as well as the craft of filmmaking. Hopefully, from more trial than error, come to understand what the rules and techniques of filmmaking, when to utilise them, AND when to go against them. If able to achieve this, then this studio will not only be highly valuable but also critical in the development of who I am as a media practitioner and filmmaker.
Will I be able to achieve all of the aforementioned prompts? Maybe, maybe not. I’m just gonna have to be a good boy and try my best. So until failure comes beckoning on my doorstep I’ll just have to try and continue to do my best, even if that means continuously uploaded poor quality videos (gotta start somewhere, right?). So, with that said, here’s to Box and all the challenges and joys that come with it.
