The first weeks of the uncomfortable film studio have not been what I was anticipating, that is to say I’ve enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I’m mainly excited to start creating my own content and exploring the depths of uncomfortability in film making, and what that means to me. I liked the subversion of Monty Python and the Holy Grail more so than Unedited Footage of a Bear, probably because of the humour element in the former rather than the perturbance caused by the latter. As of yet, we’ve explored ways in which to create discomfort in film, may that be through content, cinematography, performance, lighting, editing, sound, or form. We have also touched on genre, expectations and was in which to analyse films more critically. All establishing points for this course as a whole and for the rapidly oncoming assignments. I look forward to creating uncomfortable content as it is not something I would lean towards or strive for ordinarily, so it will good to get out of my comfort zone and explore with the first assignment. Questions I have would generally be around intent: what motivates people to make uncomfortable or subversive content and therefore what will motivate me, especially since it’s something I have to be doing academically?
