Films of the Past

Affirmative. I'm currently a film student, with ambitions to become a successful filmmaker. During my free times at university, I loaned out the one and only amazing Canon 5D Mark II camera to shoot this, incredibly embarrassing, abridged music video - I want it that way, by Backstreet Boys. Well, I called it Backstreet 'Boy' as I starred in it, while one of my mates was operating the camera whilst I directed him.

Secondly, the most satisfying film project that I have produced in university thus far. It was a music video. It was indeed an enjoyable experience, somewhat aided by the technically superior Canon 5D Mark II, which made it looked like a professional music video. It could have been much more interesting, but we did the best as we could, provided with the locations, inflexibility filming dates with the entire band. We actually wanted to do a more interesting narrative, however, we finally come to decide upon filming their passion towards their hobbies, music, art etc.

Filming... I want to film... 

Let me digress...

I am actually currently working on a script of a short film that is my final year project of university degree. I would be the writer, producer, director of this film! How exciting, how stressful! I aim to make this film to be the best of the best, the best among the films I have shot in my entire three years in university. 

Yeah. I just received some feedback from my college tutor, and a professional writer, Julian Unthank, writer for the award winning short film, Love At First Sight. Their positive feedback was the idea is interesting, however much, their negative feedback was most unpleasant, at least to me. Who would wish to listen to criticism of your most precious baby? It is our natural defensive reaction system that feel what they say is entirely bullshit, but the ugly truth is that, they MIGHT be right. I particularly emphasize the word 'might' is because, after all, they are experienced people, what they say truly has a certain weight of truth. Having said that, I believe there always is no one way of doing something, as people always say, there is no right or wrong answer. I still have to accept their criticisms and reflect upon them, make several amendments, think ever more deeply, whether my initial decisions were there for a particular reason, or just merely, a tool that I think it would be cool.

Pitching isn't really my thing, especially when I weren't well prepared for that, plus major stomach followed by diarrhoea that day. 53%? Really? Got to really buck up.
