“The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.”

SUMMARY

• This week I did a good amount of work on the blog post and I also felt that I learned a lot. This week was sort of unique because instead of completing the blog post in one day, I split up the amount of work I did into each day of the week, but I’m not sure if I’ll do it again, considering it took every day of the week.

• After going on a walk and thinking about this, I mainly focused on the negative aspect of the thought and considered if it is really simple to overcome negative thinking by re framing thought in a positive way. I think that essentially means that if you’re more optimistic and positive when it comes to negative thoughts, you’ll overcome them. It seems like a really obvious thought, but while thinking about it, I did realize that sometimes I never really try to challenge any negative thoughts and I never really try to get rid of them or make them more positive. From now on, I’ll keep this in mind.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

What I learned: This week I learned a few things about pre-production (from finishing the rest of the sneak on the lot from last week) and production. I also learned more about the history of film which was, again, interesting.

Problems I solved: This week I solved my problem with procrastination. Instead of doing all the assignments in one day/one sitting, I decided to complete and progress through parts of the blog post each day. I’m definitely going to attempt to continue this method.
