The clip from Peter Watkins’ Punishment Park screened in class seemed very interesting to me so I watched the full film once I got home. The film is a mockumentary drama, and through the fictional narrative and the realistic style of cinema verite, it criticizes the social and political issues of the capitalist system of the United States. The contemporary relevance…

Week 11 Reflection
I didn’t think about the composition of the two characters while filming, but when I was editing, I found out that the shot of Colin apparently has a relatively greater depth of field than the shot of Catherine, therefore, the size of Colin’s head seems to be smaller than Catherine’s. This could be improved by checking the framing and composition…

I noticed that recently there’s more people from whatever organizations that would stop you and ask you to donate money for their organization. They have increased the number and there’s no way to make it to class without being stopped by them. I was stopped by them a couple times and pretended that I was going to somewhere in a…

I went for a walk at the Flagstaff Garden the other night. There were people who were feeding the possums with very expensive snacks even for humans, such as pokeys. In this garden, the possums are the royal family and always get the best food from the pedestrians. On the contrary, the other big family, the mice, are not so…

When I was filming with my friend at the Royal Botanic Garden, there was a man practicing saxophone under a tree. Sunlight reflected on the leaves and made an array of diamonds, shining to complement his harmonies. There were people jogging and lying on the grass resting, but somehow he made the garden his private concert, he was enjoying his…

Sitting at the front make it easier to observe the reaction of the audience. The majority of them were focused on the film and it was…
