What does “True to Form” mean? I did not really get it even after I had read the description. It was not the end of world because I think most of the studio name do not make any sense. At least, I know this studio is about the whole process of film making. All I have worked since my first semester of the degree was audio. I picked “True to form” in the hope of gaining more hands-on experience of creating visuals in terms of camera and editing .

It was frustrated when Paul emphasized that all of our assignments will be marked based on our writing on the second day of the semester. Our process of learning and producing appeals to him, not the final product. My mind was numb. What is more important than a final product? In the world of cinema, the audience will not bother the process unless the film is good. Frankly speaking, writing is always hard for me. Blogging is even more tiresome since blogging should be a done in a willing state of mind, not a forced one. I felt working with equipment was far more interesting than blogging.

Then I realized that this could be a good learning method for me at this stage. The final product is crucial to a media creator, but I am not there yet. I am still a media student. I have not seriously reflected on my works recently. I know that reflecting will improve my analyzing skills in the long run but I hesitated to do so. It is time to sit down and reflect. It is time to step out of my comfort zone.

Discussing films in dept is still my limitation although I am a media student. At the end of the semester, I hope that I will have another media creation in my collection as well as be able to talk about films intellectually.
