Session 9

The Semester of Audiovisual Workshop

At the beginning of this semester, I expected that the audiovisual workshop class would be my favorite assignment. But this was not the case.
Given this situation, I will right about what I expected it to be:
I would have like it to be an instance of learning and experimenting where I could have learned about filmmaking and art direction. It would have been very interesting to do complex art workbooks were every choice would have been a deliberate one, then having conscious control over the symbols, deep meanings, backstory, etc...
I would have loved to learn about many directors and art directors. Discovering how they took something from their imagination and put it on a screen. The techniques and systems they used.
It would have been very enriching to learn how to articulate the cinematographic language, into deeper meaning than just full-shot, medium-shot, close-up, etc...
Anyway, for me, art direction is still my favorite area and were I would love to work, and even thou I didn't learn as much as I expected this semester, I know it really depends on me and my own work and interest.
