Fourth week in School of Digital Filmmaking


This week we have dived more into practical filmmaking, learning lighting and going further into sound and visual storytelling.

Simultanously we have been developing our short film scripts, with supervision from the school staff and according to scriptwriting theory.

We have been doing more and more group assignments, where we split into teams of about five people, where each has a specific role like director, audio mixer, boom grip, cameraman etc.

I got to be the director once (that's the role I most want to pursue), and it was really fun.

It's a little taste of what it is having a professional crew to cowork with, where each person is skilled and trained in his or her specific role.

Me and some classmates are going to a little church on Sundays, and I keep being suprised how good the sermons are. They are really instructive and applicable. This Sunday the theme was how to see what Jesus sees, in a very practical way. Jesus saw people who other people ignored, and he paid attention to them, just like God pays attention to every detail in our lives.*

With the help from God we can also start paying real attention to people around us, to listen to them and care about them.

*Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (A deliberate understatement!)

I wish you a really good week wherever you are.



...and, yes I got permission from the guys to publish photos!
