A Look at Other Films

Last night in class we watched a variety of docs on artists, as well as films made by previous 409 classes. I’m getting nervous as the movies were really good! I do think that we will be able to accomplish something watchable, but I’m wary because the whole concept and process is so incredible foreign to me. I was happy to see though that when we discussed certain aspects of the docs we watched, that I didn’t miss too many cues that were pointed out. I think I was able to pick out some of the good angles vs. not so good angles, which type of shot was better for what kind of interview, different ways to incorporate pieces of art and still shots of art into the film, etc. When I didn’t pick up on the things that were pointed out, I think I at least got a handle on them once they were discussed in class. Hopefully we will be able to effectively apply these pointers to our filming and editing when it comes down to our project! At the end of the class we had a brief meeting with Andrea to see where we are at on the project and everything seems to be going well! 

I’m excited to really start to get into things over the next few weeks! I’m also looking forward to our groups upcoming meeting and beers! Should be a good way to get to know each other and get the creative juices flowing!

Until next time...
