6x 1 revisted .. hardly

okay sooo ive been recharging for the last few days sleeping and doing absolutely nothing and loving life because the last few days have been none stop. Monday night i finished my world history paper so hopefully next semester i can actually be a film major. Tuesday i thought id be finishing up my music video for experimental film but i ended up getting into the video and spent alot of time finishing it up so i left the editing lab around 9pm and got home ate and started the 48 hour video race which was now less than 24 hours. I was all set for it because i knew i wouldnt have the whole 48 hours . So my last few days of this class even tho we didnt meet were very stressful, but a good learning process. So i think the only thing i might suggest putting the 48 hour video race somewhere in the middle of the semester and putting something like the found footage project at the end of the semester. i think it definitely pushes us as film makers to have a project like this at the end of the semester but across the board you might get better results from the whole class if its earlier in the semester. As for the rest of the class honestly i would not change anything this was one of the best classes ive ever taken. i love that we actually get to work with the film the very first day we walk in the class i think thats perfect how it is because for alot of people like myself thats the first time they have worked with real film and the hand painting is soo different it prepares the students for a new style of filmmaking.it was really nice having soo much time for that project as well. The second project the rhythmic editing exercise followed it well. we switched to video and it gives use more experience with editing in a different style now digitally. Those two projects should absolutly stay how they are. i wish i could give you more to change but really i loved this class soo much i cant say much. i hope i can apply all the concepts i learned it all 3 of the classes i have with andre next semester and i hope he doesnt get sick of me and try and kick my ass all in all 6x1 is pretty perfect how it is and i think everyone next semester will feel the same way.
