MOTIVATION

Since my previous realisation about how unproductive/unexperienced I truly am (click here to see the post) I have decided to enter a short film competition. Now I know this film will probably be one of the dullest pieces I ever make, which is ironic since the the theme is “Greece is light”, but it is experience nonetheless. The competition I am entering is a Greek-Australian film contest that looks for greek students, much like myself, to enter. The films are shown on Greek Television, across Europe, America and Australia. That is an indication to how complex and sophisticated Greek TV is. I had a look at previous year entries and the films never seem to be made by media students (there is only a limited amount of Greek-Australian Media students in Australia).

 

Even though the plan and idea for the film I am making (with another student from Melbourne Uni) is quite basic and nothing too “Spielberg”, I have found that I am actually pretty excited about it and I finally get to put all the techniques (like how to set up an interview and how to record sound clearly) to the test and get something done that I might actually be able to put on my resume.
