A lot of activity today both online via college emails concerning next years 3rd BA Honours top-up course for our Film Arts here at PCA...and concerning our opening new term's first lesson with Andy James.....a quality eye-opener with the work of last year's 3rd years screened and discussed...and Q &A about different kinds of strategies for attending next year....My personal learning curve accelerated , or I should say my expectation reached a new level when it was explained to me than rather deferring for a year to enable my European tour of film making ( the phenomena of consciousness awareness growing about the Mayan End Times) of groups of people and politicians alike all reacting to conception of a NEW TIME There are so many survival groups formed and a mass hysteria forming that I feel compelled to cover as much of the anticipated panic and chaos of fear that will be widespread... it will make the best 'docutainment ' I can conceive......so instead of msising a whole year's of continuity of learning :- it could be viable to use the first term of the 3rd year as a location 'shoot and run ' in many countries as part of the challenge of changing my comfort zone right around and developing alternative methods of approaching projects ( which is the opening years brief).....so all in all a positive outcome could be on the cards for a difficult decision....
Secondly ....the lesson today involved the use in Cinematic Storytelling of transitional shots in films such as depicted in Barton Fink , Pulp Fiction , Kill Bill 2, Wings of Desire.. etc....the latter was inspirational with the archive footage used in the shots from inside the car when one of the 'angels' is reflecting on the past and as he looked up the scenes in the street were of actual second world war activity......this made me realise the potential (in addition to the other examples from the other films) of anything is possible to be used in telling my stories through film.....I'm really excited about the concept and thought of a lot of variations, some really wacky but others that could lead somewhere.
Specifically in another project for the college at Dartington ..it might be possible to use some of the archive material we have to effect a kind of continuity in our finished piece that enlists the art of depicting time in a dramatic or inventive metaphor with our intended filming and 'splicing' seamlessly some of the melancholy of drama of the past and present.
All in all today reaffirmed my love of all things film....
