Tuesday was assessment day on editing. Gavin wanted us to edit a sequence from Mellisa's Mail or Love, Mugs... Since I was part of Love, Mugs... production I edited some footage from the other groups production, I wasn't happy with the end result. I didn't turn up until 2 in the afternoon, hence the not so good edit. Editing is not one of my strong points, I need to practice and improve I might consider a tutorial on the actual skill and craft of editing. Disappointing day for me.
Wednesday, we had an asociated screening of representation Paradise Now, which gave us a different view of suicide bombers. The film gave me a whole different perception on why some suicide bombers would kill themselves and other people. Paradise Now did not stereotype Muslims as the representation of ruthless bombers.
At 1230 to 1345, I was filming on Murdo's abstract production, Dust. The shoot went well, no problems. I'm so grateful to be the camera Op on another production, even though Love, Mugs... was a small dissapointment for me, I have a chance to improve my skills.
In the afternoon, our class amalgamated with DFTV3, and were informed by a representative of Film G; a Gaelic short film competition organisation.
It didn't attract me, simply because I don't know the Gaelic language, though I would be happy to learn.
Andy was focusing on the representation of muslims on Thursday. Most of Hollywood films that consist of muslims are shown from an outsiders eye and society's atitude to at that period, so therefore it usually is not a true representation and vice versa.
Later on in the day, the class were analysing web-series and how we could adapt our own ideas into this up and coming format.
Friday we started with watching a intresting documentary called, Left of Frame exploring the rise and fall of tv as a political force. Then finished with a documentary on the unique channel 4, I percieved it as a rebel channel breaking all the rule books.
