EXPLODING GENRE!

Can’t get over the wacky titles for the individual studios. Gone are the days where the names of the classes or modules I’m taking just represent the subject that I’ll be learning like, Maths, Science, History, you get where I’m going with this. During my trip back to Singapore, I find it a challenge explaining to people what kind of studio am I doing this semester and end up breaking down the name “Exploding Genre” for them.

I chose this studio in hopes of being able to pickup the ropes of producing and maybe making, a short film myself, and it doesn’t get any simple than that. I do understand that a lot of time, effort, and manpower would go into making a film. Pre-production, production and post-production, each carrying their own importance and we have many distinctive roles for people to fill up and contribute into making a film reach its final stage where it can be screened onto the big screen. Whether that screen is in a commercial theatre complex or just in an AV room of your parents’ apartment is a separate discussion.

Besides uncovering the various methods and theories that may be employed by multiple filmmakers all over the world to give a film a certain characteristic to be classified as a particular genre, I would also like to acquire the skills and knowledge on the “technical-know-hows” on how to actually write, film, produce, edit and maybe even publish? Of course, the entire process can’t be taught within the duration of an academic semester, but just knowing the basic knowledge of how everything flows would be my main outcome in general.

Looking forward to exploding many genres week by week as time goes by.
