Film making….....

Who is this film lady who calls herself Harriet Fleuriot? Actually a pretty cool film maker who tried to teach us how to make a short film in just about an hour, a herculean task but she pulled it off rather nicely I thought. Nevertheless the task for us was to create and direct a short film about King's X, easy, and we had the reasonable freedom to do whatever we wanted, and watching Harriet's videos, that was no problem. For me, as a complete noob to the art of film making, it was a tricky task, creating the logo was a breeze but this task was something different. In the end, after many times of revising the idea, I chose used the King's cross voices and put some film on top to that to make my short video. A humble and simple video I think, which is what I wanted so I'm pleased with it. Working with Benas was heplful because he had alot more knowledge about film making than me so I trusted him with the shots etc. And I'm not sure about the other videos that the others in the group are making, I suppose I'll just have to leave that one a surprise. I guess the reason for that perhaps was the fact that planning, location finding and filming took alot out of us and we spent little time together as group except in the begginning where Harriet was showing off. Plus I had to leave early so I don't know much about the films. So I'll be as surpirsed as the guests on the final night when they screen the films. But on the whole it an enjoyable day, tiring but looking to forward to how all the footage is put together.
