the 2nd week

The first thing i wanted to say about this week's class is that i really liked it. 'cause we actually started filming as professionals. And that was really exciting!
I learned a lot of new staff, like how to hold the camera, how to work with compositions, which composition to choose in each case, how to work with colors and shadows, etc. We also had some problems with the weather, so we had to save the camera from the rain, staying under an umbrella.
Also i gained some experience in being as an actress. :) It was really interesting for me, 'cause actually this was the first time i ever was standing in front of the camera, and was dictating how to stand right, where to look, what expression should be on my face, etc. :)
We took it all seriously, but also we had some fun of course.

And the hometask was to watch movies. So that's what i did. And now watching the films became more difficult and exciting at the same time. :) 'cause now i'm trying to focus on two things mainly rather than one:

1> i started to consentrate on the work of the director.The most important questions are now which compositions he uses, how well he uses them, what light looks good, in what environment he shoots: is it raining, or sunshining; is it in mountains, or somewhere in a city...
and also how well it all goes together.
2> and secondly, i'm still trying to follow the story :) now mainly consentrating on the work of the artists, how well they play their roles.

And i think that's it. That's all i wanted to say.
See you on the lecture.

the 1st week


Hey, well, this was our first week of this semester. and i can say that i was really happy to meet my groupmates again. and the courses we have this semester , in my mind, are really exciting! :)
and i'm certainly interested in all of them. so i think that will really encourage me to study well.
Unfortunately i couldn't fit some subjects into my scedule, but i'll do my best to take them the year after the next.
