Twin

For our third project brief, we were required to make a 2-3 minute short film on someone we may, or may not, know. And for my project, I have chosen a close friend of mine, and most importantly, my twin, Angelica. We’re not actual twins, as in related by blood. But in spite of that, […]

Musical Struggles

Shoutout to the power of music. Editing for my third project brief was both painful yet pleasing. The process was quite painful, but the outcome was quite pleasing. Honestly, I spent so much time finding royalty free music and reading licensing pages of those websites with royalty free music, that sometimes I even stayed up […]

Here’s A Tip For You

The workshop for this week was less of a workshop and more of a consultation session. Our tutorial teacher spoke to use individually giving us feedback on rough cuts of our film portraits for our third project brief. The main feedback that I got was to try and focus on one aspect of my subject […]

Try This

In our Cinema Studies screening this week, we were introduced to experimental films. For a person who has never watched experimental films before and has always been into narrative films, this was all so new and weird to me. The first film we watched was Ballet Mecanique and about halfway through it, I literally said […]

Hello

How does one word hold such great power in impacting people’s lives? From Orientation alone, we’ve been advised to get to know each other since we’re all going to be together for the next couple of years. So we might as well be friends, right? I suppose this was reiterated again in our first week […]

Project Brief #1 (Pt. III)

Pt. III of my Lo-fi Media Self-Portrait for our Project Brief #1 50 WORDS To be honest, I don’t really know what idea of myself I was trying to convey in the following 50 words. I legitimately wrote this filled with so much sarcasm and this is the result of such thoughts. “One. It’s interesting […]
