Well the christmas holiday has approached and that signals the end of the first semester in my second year on the film and video production course. This year has been more difficult than last year even though it is very similar to the previous year just more advanced. Do i believe i have done well this year? simple answer NO.
I shall start by talking about the bad things, starting of with my documentary i created which shall be uploaded sometime in the foreseeable future, well the idea was to do a documentary on the subject 'Made in Britain'. My original idea was student drinking but we have all seen that so its nothing interesting. My first shot documentary on this was then unemployment in a youth but that really messed me up as the quality was terrible and it wasn't engaging so tow week till deadline had arrived and i wasn't submitting this pile of well crap. So i had a new ideas which is students together in a close environment and being together 24/7. I got footage shot in two days and edited in one day so how it turned out i was pleased by how long it taken me which wasn't long at all. But the overall quality wasn't the best so i tried to make it humorous which actually worked but all i could see were the flaws of this work. So it was submitted and i hope my production folder will save my grade (one can hope).
Other lesson projects didn't go to well either this year, two presentations one of which was an epic failure and one went well for me anyway as i am nervous in front of people. So hoping for an okay grade on the one that went well but an essay on New Zealand film could help or hinder my final grade. The failure presentation (though i haven't gotten a grade for it) is hopefully gonna be saved by my script which i shall talk about soon. Another piece of work is a journal which i feel i have done well on so i am hoping for a good grade there and on the miniature projects set on that, so pretty much i predict a mix bag this year.
Now good news my script which is what i hope saves me in the scriptwriting class because my idea is very good and have had several people agree with me as well as the lecturer. So this i have very high hopes for and i am hoping it will be selected to be produced next semester where i will hopefully be the director on my own script.
Overall not the best of semester's for me but next year i will hope to turn it all around, this year has shown me what i want to do as the beginning of university i wanted to be a director but in my first year my ideas had been swayed slightly. But this year i have seen what i want to do which is directing and scriptwriting.
