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

Whether I like this or not, looking back, it got me into university.

basically its about the process of waking up. from something or other. enjoy.

PROTIP: the board of studies love this kind of rubbish. dont ask why. got 49/50.

an old version of my reflection statement is here, i cant find the final one. my hard drive got stolen in a break in.

This was produced through a frame-by-frame export into thousands of bitmaps, renamed into a proper sequence using file renamer plus and a lot of pointing and clicking, then batch-processed using photoshop; the audio was made in Audacity using open-sourced effects. Then I imported back into Premiere at a slower frame rate than before, giving it a more ethereal feel.

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 :)

[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.

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...

fucking terrible

[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.

[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!

[phoebeluvsfrance]

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

[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]
