At the beginning of all, my aim is tiny simple which is “understanding” films and enjoy the film with professional understanding. Of course how to make a film might on the list as well. And these are the reasons for me to choose the film 3 studio. I am happy it is close to my expectation even it is just week 4, i have some new perspectives when i watching films. I kind of fall in a emotion that helps me going to a deep thinking, especially during the class and the class practices. These kind of experience expand my mind when i first watch a film.
For example, before learning i always attract by film script, and this is the only way for me to judge a movie. Judging a movie weather a good or bad is only the narrow understanding. Upon this semester I might unintentionally attention the vision itself or how to say (the “film” itself), such as sound and light color camera angle, Of course, how to edit is also a point. These are mentioned in the last few weeks of tutorial. For instance, recently the other course Asia cinema require us to watch the Japanese film Tokyo drifter( 1966 Seijun Suzuki )Suzuki is good at layout stage, his camera is ideal for drama and i like the music as well.
Perhaps what we have learned in the course like focus and white balance might be the basis ,it is a pieces of cake for masters but for me, these newcomers may also cause problems, for example, I did not even familiar with filming equipment, that Paul hope that write down the data of our shoots last Friday. I have to asked the students who experienced.
After few weeks, my acquaintance is that imagination is always different from actuality. Shooting is the last reference, the situation appears in a real shooting is the most unpredictable, and sometimes even shoot around you, and finally I was finally taken down all the things that control. I think those powerful master must also be experienced, they might practice more than one million times.
