HSC 2007 49/50 :: Extension 2 English (4 Unit) :: "Claustrophobic"

[gkarlio]

Hey, i appreciate that you question the 49/50 this video received. Maybe its because the link for your reflection statement won't open but I didn't enjoy this video. Although I get bored easily. What school did you go to?

[Karevor]

Interesting editing techniques!

[ILUVlupin]

it was so good. up until the cliched-to-death-ending: and it was all a dream....

[VideoVisionary1]

hey would you be up for an interview? i'm doing ext2 english now and i need to have some names to drop of people i've interviewed. we could either do online or in person if you're around sydney.

[halomoe]

I LOVED IT!

Really audacious!

lol, I've got a prelim. task in which I gotta make a 10-15 min vampire movie!

Any thoughts?

[YasminPaella]

WOW

bravo

I'm also making a short film for ext II

:S

[2ducks1cup]

love the tags

[crazyyyblonde16]

ohh woww. that is amazing. im also doing a film for my ext 2 for my hsc next year, not sure how i'll go though. ive got a lot of experience editing videos, but not so much actually filming :S i have good ideas though.. sort of focusing on your subconscious while dreaming..

anyway really well done. if i can do a film half as good as that i'll be happy :)

[eviltim1]

dont worry, you will pick it up! good luck :)

[bonniemouse]

fucking terrible

[xingyboy]

nah u dont realli need something this wacko to get 50/50. obviousli it helps if u have a mind thats influenced by LSD (not saying u took it) but i know guys having very simple concepts and still gettint 45-50

the bottom line is eng ext2 is very VERY sus u could just ask ur dad or mum who might be insane at this sort of stuff to prepare ur reflection statement and everything :L

[avj00sder]

I love it how you did what would get the most marks rather than what you actually cared most about. That's the way I roll.

[phoebeluvsfrance]

@avj00sder well they have years to do what they actually care about about, AFTER they got into the university course they wanted.....

[i4ionic]

I don't really quite get it, which I guess is the charm of it (shall read the reflection statement). I'm considering doing this subject, but I'm sort of intimidated now! The amount of abstract intelligence seems beyond me. Anyway, great vid! I love the atmosphere of it.

[s2chig]

this is crazy. genius crazy.

i'm in yr 11 now, still considering picking up ext 2..

but yikes, after that, i'm not even sure it should be an option for me at all!

[eviltim1]

haha well if you want reassurance, i started out trying to make... a horror film in a single room without dialogue. the rest was trashy faux-research done predominantly with google, and real english skills - bullshitting it all together into a statement without reading the articles.

imo, you should definitely do the course! one kid in the class finished his the day b4, his reflection the night before, and got 43.

[SlutSmasher66]

nice 'rubbish' ;).

i laughed at where you were coming from with the 'academic artistic' approach, and you knowing it. that said, this is unfortunately the kind of attitude all too common in the minds of professional directors. you did it as well as them, so great job.

can picture the english markers with this.

"oh lovely... knowledge and research very evident... sustained composition... tick... manipulation of form and medium... ooo tick again... how very excellent..."

wanks.

[eviltim1]

especially considering i only skim-read most of my reference texts and watched maybe 1/3rd of the films i quoted as "highly influential"! hehe

theyr a little bit to easy to impress i think...

[foremostcritic]

Confounding and creepy! Wonderful!

[harrythezuluwarrior]

You are a genius. I read your piece and I was both amazed and confounded by so many high vocab words. There is no wonder the BOS gave you 49/50 for this. They love abstract, originality and huge work effort, all of which you displayed. I salute you. You should of argued for 50/50.
