Re: Cool vids...again.

Oh, absolutely, I wasn't trying to say anything else. I just find it interesting how there's such a massive, one end of the spectrum to the other, shift between what you get taught and whats actually a good and proper method for doing it. Cause I mean in school, at least from what I was being told from the teachers, is that you just go in guns blazing shooting everything and anything and then figure it out later, with very little emphasis on actually planning things out and knowing and understanding why you are doing what you're doing in every shot.

Sorry, I'm probably just thinking out loud right now. But yeah, time and experience. Time and experience.

Re: Cool vids...again.

Well, often the purpose of the formal education is to teach you the rules and the conventions. Only once you know these, can you really start to bend or break them. It's like the traditional 3 acts of a story - learn and master these first, then you can mess around with structure.

Re: Cool vids...again.

And when it comes to technical stuff I agree, 180 rules and types of shots, 3 act structure etc etc, But when film making courses are actually being taught in a way that are telling it's students NOT to think about the movie they are making in any real deep or meaningful way before hand, and that the only way to "properly" run a shoot is to just point the camera wildly at everything in the room and hope it works out in the editing room, something is very wrong I think.

And people wonder why the craft of filmmaking is going down the tubes.

Weird thing is too, I was at work and I was thinking to myself that I really needed to sit down and watch toy story again tonight.
