My Way of Working

I found myself being someone who’s learning style is quite adaptable to particular situations and tasks. I could even go as far as saying, my learning style changes with my mood and is very connected to my emotion, Though a majority of my learning is best suitable when physical and visual aspects are involved. As someone who works with pace, to avoid being overloaded, I tend to do a lot of things on the fly. Planning isn’t my strong suit. However, this isn’t always a negative thing. I feel this allows me to experiment and not overthink execution. Though, I do realise that filmmaking entails a lot of pre-planning as part of development. Due to this, I am looking to become a better pre-planner. I have found, especially when it comes to editing, I rush through footage and make quick cuts without considering many variations and possibilities. For me, this was very evident in the 1st Lenny exercise. However, as the weeks have progressed, I have approached the activities with more and more consideration for the process.

 

So far, I have found this studio very suitable for my learning style, as it is very visual and hands on. I look to get as much as possible out of this studio as the weeks progress. I anticipate that my knowledge will increase as we navigate through the course content. I look forward to becoming a more competent filmmaker, with lots of consideration for the practise within different elements of the field. While being online we are definitely tested by the constraints of online learning, however, this allows new ways of working to be experimented with. As future practitioners, we must remember that adaptability is one of the most important qualities in the field today, and what better way than to learn about adaptability in the midst of a pandemic
