Reflection #9

Absolutely. This is my first studio, and I found it very useful to my future studies and filmmaking. I do noticing to my surroundings unintentional sometimes, but I have never done any Observation intensional before. After I have done a few observations, I felt it is very  interested spending 5- 10 minutes observing my surroundings，because I could always find out some interested things which I didn’t notice before. Also, writing down observation is different from using verbal, it allows me to recollect the details again, and use rights words to describe it, I think that’s the way to write script. I think my writing on emphasizing details and emotions is getting better after this.  Moreover, I learn how to use video camera, although the huge heavy Sony ex-3 is almost killing me, it was still great experience using that kind of professional video camera for filming, and also I felt I am like a filmmaker every time I used it. Robin is really patient to teach us the camera step by step, and he is always willing to help whenever we need a hand, so I really appreciate having a nice and kind teacher. Moreover, I had lots of chances to use camera to practice by my own and also to work in a group. Group work is always the hardest part to me, but that’s what I need to learn. I am happy working with my group, and we are working with together really well, although we had arguments sometimes, we alway work it out together.  That’s how  group works like, right ?   Overall, I felt this entire course was enriching for me, because I learned skills that I never thought I learn in the uni course, and one that I could take with me for my future endeavors.
