Tuesday- Editing assignment of the other group's project. I found it challenging to put together shots that usually would not match, but a good editor should be able to do magic with these matters. A long but enjoyable experience!
On Wednesday we watched Paradise Now and we blogged about it. The film was definitely engaging.
In the afternoon a representative of Film G competition came to talk to us. It all seems quite inspiring and motivating, but somehow I am not attracted to the idea. I'll need to do a bit of research to find out more about the Gaelic culture and therefore come up with an idea for a short. Something tells me it's not going to happen though. If only if it was another language it would be much easier for me.
On Thursday we discussed the misrepresentation of muslims on screen and how it affects us as film makers. To sum up, there are plenty of topics explored in films which are extremely controversial, so it's not easy to please everyone. Religion is one of the most dangerous subject matters because it directly affects a major or minority group, which is going to express an opinion afterwards. As a whole, I do believe muslims should be presented in a brighter light.
In the afternoon we watched some webisodes, my favorite one is Sofia's diary. Adams expects us to some up with an idea for similar platform.
Friday was a TV class, we watched 2 documentaries on how TV reflects or challenges the society, sometimes even changes it. Channel 4 has an interesting history, especially those years when they've aired a sort of pornographic films, for bigger ratings maybe?
In the afternoon everyone had a tutorial with Abigail to discuss the schedule strip for Floating is easy. She seemed satisfied with my efforts. Generally I hope for the future we do that kind of work with a software, so it will save us plenty of time.
