Isn’t it interesting how something can be second nature to us but so foreign and horrifying to someone else? Take riding a bike or driving for example. For many of us, we hardly think about what it takes to push the peddles or make a turn and so teaching or watching someone who doesn’t know these things becomes frustrating. It’s easy, we think. Yes, easy for us. We’ve done it before. Many, many times. And often we can’t conceptualze why someone has a hard time almost like we forgot our own first time.

People are strange.

My day today

Wow I'm actually blogging on my blog Today was a day of both good and bad. Late last night my ex and I talked about the old days, specifically when we went to Disney world a few years back. I was filled with an uncontrollable shaking for the duration of the conversation. I refuse to call myself pathetic for still having feelings for her, but I do feel like it sometimes. Today around her I settled into a state of nostalgic wistfulness, wanting what could've been. We were at a cast party and years ago we'd, well, done couply stuff. I almost half wish she knew. And maybe she'll read this someday and know but I doubt it honestly. I just wish that the "break" we took was only temporary. Maybe I'll get up the nerve to ask her out sometime, even platonically. (No time soon of course) ANYWHO ENOUGH OF THIS SAPPY STUFF I got to see my amazing "mentor(?)"/friend(?if I may have the honor to call him that)/former idol (I say formal because it's bad to idolize people, they're just like you and me; I do really really look up to him though) today. I've been in his acting workshop for the past two days and the first day was shit mentally for me. But today was much better. We all had fun. I got to see some people I'd lost some touch with. I got to see and talk to Jonny. I learned a lot. Afterwards there was a party at this one girl's house, and that was fun. (Got bombarded with memories from earlier but it's whatever). I forgot where I was going with this because I've been answering texts. Not really sure to end this on a positive or negative note.. As far as negative, I don't know when I'll next get to meet with Jonny. And that saddens me. Tonight I had a chance to have just a conversation with him, but when confronted I had no idea what to talk about. Wasted. More people then came over and our own personal moment was gone. He's off back to LA tomorrow. We got him for shorter than ever this time. I feel hollow. I shed a few tears. But mostly... I'm just dreading school, the mundane, the fall from this acting high I get when working under him. I'm falling into a depressive state, I think. I don't want to go to sleep on a depressing note. Today I also found out I'm going to go to school (homeschool program) and hopefully hang out more with a good friend of my brother's that I really would like to be friends with as well. SO IM PUMPED FOR THAT HES SUCH A COOL DUDE. Also excited that I'll be getting my car soon, and that I've been showing the confident side of myself more to Jonny, and that he commended me for that. I'm going to try and FB message him more. (Wish me luck) Despite the sadness, it will get better. I've had fear and falls but also victories. And that's life. Gotta focus on the victories and good things to come. And I hope the rest of you do too. PS: the dad from Drake and Josh is not married to the mom from Drake and Josh

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this lesson and the previous lesson on the 9th but I have kept up to date by asking my fellow classmates about whats been happening. 

Here I will summarize the PDF files that we were given today when I'm able to get a copy off the N: Drive, which will be within the next few days. Blogging Assignment: Editing. Discuss two contrasting styles of editing.

"Montage", an assembly of different, connected cuts shown over a short amount of time is used most frequently to illustrate the ideal of change, while the element known as "Slow Mo" is a single shot that heightens the effect of dramatic circumstances upon the viewer (Van Sijll, 2005, pp. 48-49). Both these elements are uniquely different in the way they effect the audience although they are also very similar in some aspects. A montage scene is used to inform the audience of a pastime or a future event which in turn links them with the specific character or group of people within the film, although not in an emotional sense (What is Montage? Film Editing 2011). While this is a very effective way to show the audience a broader concept, a slow mo shot will deliver the specifics of this notion by illustrating the fine details and the sentimental values in particular, and this is the difference between the two. Both are equally informative shots to the audience but depending on what is being expressed or shown within the film truly identifies the importance of both elements.

Today in class we learned the difference between a tilt and a pan. We watched a number of movie introductions that had different film components used and was good to be able to differentiate between the use of them in a real life scenario within the film industry.

Blogging assignment: Mise-en-scene 2.  Deconstruct a film shot or sequence as an example. Blade Runner.

In a society enveloped by the cold war paranoia, creation and replicant, Roy Batty challenges the knowledge of his creator, Tyrell, when he confronts his master amongst a white, mise-en-scene atmosphere, attempting the highlight his creator’s shallow heart through questioning: ‘Can the maker repair what he makes?’. The dominance of the white upholstery and religious garments which represent the purity and innocence of Tyrell’s work are highly ironic when contrasted against this harsh and apathetic attitude towards his creations. The devastating consequences of Tyrell’s God-like actions are further identified through an over the shoulder shot, displaying the emotional reaction exhibited by a frustrated Batty. The extent of Tyrell’s ‘wisdom’ and interest in transgressing knowledge boundaries suggests that the notion of challenging the power of knowledge is age-old and one needs to learn of past failures and mistakes. This reality regarding Tyrell’s degree of knowledge is continuously questioned throughout the entire film, especially when Deckard meets his creation Rachel for the first time. A recurring motif of eyes symbolically represents Tyrell’s imperial characteristics, illustrated through a close up shot of an owl’s eyes; large, glossy and unemotional.
