The Upcoming Weekend

I think I'm going to go spend some time in Central Park tomorrow (with or without anyone). I've developed a way of not planning things and just letting life happen. It's worked out pretty darn well so far! So we'll see what happens. I'd like to take the camera to the park, maybe even a sketchpad and a pencil, work on some breathing exercises or get some reading in...

My hair is almost long enough to slick back! Although the front is a tad askew for some reason... Might have to get it evened out in a week or so.

On Wednesday, we had a quiz in Intro to the Camera. Pretty sure I aced it, as did practically every other one of the 17 students in my group. We're all slowly, but surely, learning the intensity of the filming process and how meticulous it all is. The short scenes we shot were only about 30 seconds in length. Each one took about 15 minutes of filming time, due to placing of set pieces and marking.

Film Genres has taught us a great deal on Rom-Coms (Romantic Comedies) and how they have drastically progressed since the 30's. Today we watched clips from "It Happened One Night", "Some Like It Hot", and "Annie Hall".
