I feel that despite seeing and looking into lots of work recently I am still struggling to find what to do next. I have had some ideas to film myself again and I still want to explore this idea of seeing how I really am on camera. One idea I have is to film myself on the telephone to somehow quite close, such as a family. It could be that I get so involved in the conversation I forget I am being filmed.
I keep getting ideas in my head that just seem to stay in the pipeline at the moment.
Also this term is supposed to be about networking and I feel I have not had time to do anything due to being pulled into Uni for different day projects. I understand that they are there to help us, but it just feels I am getting behind on my work and blog and not knowing what to do. I have had to back log my blog the past few weeks due to too many things to talk about in such little time!
On the 14th and 15th February we were set a two day project with Ben and Sersia, the tutors from Third year. Looking back it was fun but at the time I found it very stressful and I think I took it too seriously. I don't think I will be using anything I learnt from those days in my own practice, but it was still good to work to a sharp deadline and also get to know the third year tutors.
I have also been attending the film that Third year Tutor Ben has been putting on every monday. I have found them very interesting and enjoyable as I want to broaden my horizons to film, which looking back at this point seems to have been kick start all the way back in September with my film lectures. One Film that stuck in my mind for all the wrong reasons was 'Our Daily Bread' by Nikolaus Geyrhalter, in which it allows the audience see how mass food is produced. The scenes of animal killing was quite distressing but and I never felt immune to watching them and had to look away. It did make me think twice about how food is produced today. Visually as a documentary the style was quite nice and symmetrical.
