Week 8
After a long break, people seems bring lots of new things to our class, all trailers had finished shooting, Chinese trailers had finished the initial version, and our group members gave us some advice, like a background noise can be fix, and may change the subtitle font to make them clearer. Actually I’m not really satisfied about the mini trailer we made, So, me and my Chinese group member decided to make a new trailer that more attractive and more interesting.
During the class, we are focusing on the production fundraiser, and we got an extra week and move the fundraiser to next week. Then, we have more time to get on our own work. Unfortunately, I didn’t attend the risk assessment meeting during the break, because we when out to redo our trailers.
Overall, at this week, when I see my classmates are so active about the fundraiser, I realize that I didn’t and even don’t know how to help at fundraiser, I see the lack of my ability to organize a festival, which is a necessary ability when we have a job.
From the readings of this week, I learned the classification and rating of films, which is an important point for a new film festival team. It is interesting to see each rate has a clear rule of themes, sex violence and coarse language. (Guidelines for the Classification of Films 2012)
