The instructions say that I have to submit a document with the entry and the link, so that’s what I did. You ain’t getting me with no loophole
Every time I look back at the journal I laugh at how misinformed I was about the program, and it reminds me about how useless Mastery is and why you should totally get rid of it. I already figured a perfect new career plan for the Film MFA, but you don't care, and it will never happen, so it doesn't matter. It's so depressing to look back at what I thought would be thesis and realize that I actually thought it would be individual projects that we would all make. I thought I would have to edit a film I directed and formed an important part of, which is not the case at all. In part, I'm glad I don't have to edit the film because I'm not good with computers and I don't like editing. Trying to learn Avid the past month has further confirmed that I need my software user-friendly, and would kindly pay somebody else to have to deal with these things.
I can safely say that I enjoyed more than half of this class. Analyzing trailers, talking about trends, understanding creative choices in editing; all of that is fun and interesting. What I did not enjoy at all was learning Avid – or trying to, really – because I'm not technology-friendly and I'm also not interested in being an editor. I said back in Mastery that I would help out my classmates but I'm the one who needs help; the workflow presentation might as well be in German.
I do like you, Rob. I think you're fun and very, very smart and capable, and I really admire that you have the guts to give us assignments you know we will hate, because you want us to learn. I know some people in the class want to be editors and I'm sure they're happy with this course. I'm just happy that it's over.
Delete Mastery. It's worthless.
