FILM School

Hello again to the 3 people who actually notice when I post things.

It is the third week of Film Production at VFS. I am loving the course. We have mandatory film screenings of movies used for references. We are forced to watch movies repeatedly. We get to experience the behind the scenes part of movie magic. By the way movie magic is actually magic. It is amazing what the movie cheats you into thinking is natural and all the things you don't notice the first 5 times you watch or hear something.

Now in my spare time (ha) I am catching up on the movies that are referenced in class. I was sheltered as a child and I appreciate that. Really, I am glad I only watched PG13 movies until high school and didn't see JAWS when I was seven. Now I am watching films I would not watch if I had a choice but, they are considered great films. I did enjoy watching Jaws, 2 weeks ago. However, Pulp Fiction was really confusing and I think very pointless, in class I was told Butch was the protagonist but that just confused me because almost none of the movie is about him. I think it was about the hit men.

All that to say I am catching up on my pop culture references by actually watching the movies as schoolwork.
