19

The screening was last night! I was amazed at the amount of people there. I've certainly never seen a lecture theatre with so many people in it before...I must say I was very impressed. Everybody seemed to have put so much effort into their films, and I have never felt more part of a group of young, talented people at uni before. It made me really happy and then really sad to remember that now I am leaving for a year and I won't get to graduate with these clever and talented individuals.

I was so so nervous to see our film on the "big" screen, but ultimately I was SO proud to see it amongst the others! Even though it was pretttttty cheesy, and people laughed a lot in bits I definitely didn't think were funny.... I really thought we held our own amongst the others. One thing I think our film really succeeded in its visual qualities. My personal favourite of the films was the one that Lincoln and Caitlin (amongst others that I can't remember....) The idea was original, the characters were contrasting and balanced, and lets be honest-it was fucking funny. I find this impressive as I am not funny at all, and being successfully funny seems really hard.

And now I'm going. I'm leaving. I'm gone. Europe for four months. I hope that I'm going to lose myself and find things too. I love that this course has introduced me to a new medium that I never would have discovered by myself. Photography was something I always loved, but film is giving me the capacity for more depth and be more creative- editing and shooting requires a more refined eye and are less easy to capture- you need to think more about what you want to achieve and how you're going to do it. I can't wait to get out in the world and start making little movies about the things I see. In this last post I will post a video that I made recently, just with some random clips on my camera of things I have seen over the past few months. Enjoy!
P.S Watch it in HD
