museum visit-applied arts museum

I didn't really like the exhibition, although I find the museum really beautiful and nice...the exhibition was a bit a "mess" , no descriptions about the materials- I think that was the biggest fault ! + the rest with the weird numbering of the works, etc.
I found the computer games quite hard actually...
THe last one which we saw about Mucha was way better , although there as well the descriptions were missing, but I found the exhibition itself much more interesting. And it was good that they had that "contemporary " exhibition with the collaboration of the KREA school...I think it was a nice exhib. and an interesting idea to make so that the audience can check the "contemporary touch" of Mucha on the young artists...

video prod.

Yeah we have two new cameras...I donno whether we'll use them as so far we don't have any scenes inside - and as I know it they can only be used inside...so :( but still next year the baambies will be happy for them.
I found the "how to use the settings "in the camera part a bit boring and unnecesseary as actually so far everybody knows the things in it...coz we did check the cameras at the first lesson as well when we got them, so after that everyone shot at least 3 films we know how to handle them. Plus we also had a lesson about the lightning so I didn't really see the point in it...
The job-fair was a big ha-ha , still no jobs for arts managers at all , but Im not surprised as we already got used to it, that beside us and our teachers - the rest of the people in the school doesn't give a s*it about our programme...Im sad coz it could be really cool. I wouldn't be surprised if many people would leave the class+school before finishing it...It's just soo much money for no quality- unfortunately.

Video Prod,2009 april.14

Today we were talking about irony and humor in films/videoclips. I really liked this lesson as anyway Im interested in these type of films, and videos... I think of humor as an intellectual way of expressing oneselves or giving an opininon about a theme. So anyway to understand humor needs IQ so if someone makes a film/video with humor and the audience understands it ,it's just a great feeling!
Im happy for the new task , it's clear what we have to do , and it feels like as it's a 'real work experience ' just in small... :) Will be for sure cool to go to the countryside and shoot there and about wine, Im sure it'll be fantastic! Im really looking forvard to it! Im just sad we didn't get that Canon Camera ... :D

Arctic Hysteria

I loved it! It was a great exhibition, i loved the peaces, the curator could speak good english, it was interesting, although I would have wanted to hear more about the practical side of it, what kind of problems arised during the exhibition, etc, and I even wanted to ask these, but to be honest I was too busy with watching the pieces that I forgot my questions.
The budget with 22 million sounded really expensive but when I heard that they needed to put up new walls, etc, and the accomodation, and the travelling of the artists, I belive it's a normal budget for an exhibition like this.
She seemed really young for me, and I was courious how could she get 'this far ' as she was curating an expensive exhibition , etc, but I was afraid of asking this .... :(
So all in all the weather was beautiful, the Exhibition was great, and this time we didn't get tired, I enjoyed it a lot, and Im happy that we'll see the Mucha exhibition next time! Im looking forvard to it !

Exhibition class last friday

We had to discuss with each other what kind of exhibition we are going to make hipothetically, and It was interesting but I felt like we had too much time for it, as we discussed in like 5 minutes and in the rest 15-20 minutes we were just talking with each other. I know that the classes are actually too long, and already at least like an hour before the class finishes everybody is already deadly tired, and anyway it's friday, etc. It was really a bad idea to have classes on friday, as we can not pay attention because we are so tired.
Anway the exhibitions are going to be interesting, I think everyone had great ideas !It's a good lesson to do this hipothetically , because it won't matter that much from a real one. Of cours the problems which may arise in reality won't be there, but still I think it's a good excercise !

Video

Okay, so as you all know it , I fell on the first day of shooting as a dustbin, and so we had to stop the shooting for 1 day, so that I get better, and go to doctors, etc etc. And unfortunately after it I couldn't get into the costume - somehow I wasn't comfortable with getting into it, God knows why...:) - and Elinor took my part, and I played Myself + I also handeled the camera when I wasn't in the shots. We shoot basically the film during one afternoon at the playground, on a sunny afternoon, it was really funny and easy as before we sat down for a few hours and discussed ( + we wrote it down as well and it helped a lot )what to shoot after what, and anyway what scenes we need, so it went easy...
Unfortunately I had to go to Stockholm for the weekend so I couldn't really help Elinor with the cutting we were only cutting together on thursday afternoon...where we selected the files we needed, and discussed how it's gonna be with editing .
I love the video, I think it's really good, and fits the music, so Im very very satisfied with it!
I also like the other's films, I think we all did a great job, I was surprised about the good result, to be honest I wasn't expecting for that many good videos !
