Week 12 reflection

Here it is, this semester is about to end. I have got my project 3/4 finished, and I am trying to make it a completed film, but not sure if there will be enough time to do the rest of it. Anyway, I have already learnt a lot. After talking to Robin about my problems, I find my way now: if it is gonna to be something, it should only be that thing. My film talks about a story that a man lost his language ability due to the loneliness he suffers. This thing doesn’t in real world.  Some people may have autism due to some reasons, but no one will experience the same thing that man experiences in the film. So why I am trying to making sense at all?  It is totally a world I invent, which means things can happen just because I want it to happen. With this privilege as a film maker, I am able to focuses on something else rather than the plot. For example, like the use of subtitles, images and voice over, I should maximize and emphasize the certain effects of them on audience. Once I decide to use these experimental elements, I should already give up the ordinary narrative and structure of the story. Trying something new rather than doing the things you already know how to do. I think this is just the aim of this course and in terms of doing that, I achieved my goal.
