New York: In a closing chapter
The 6 weeks had been a blast, which is tiring but exhilarating. It will be my best summer ever.
The technique of film production aside, I have gained many lessons. I have learnt to appreciate film as the most powerful art form, the art of film as an expression in visual communication, gained inspirations to transform my creativity and knowledge into a visual language that can be appreciated by the masses. I also relish on the challenge of producing each film, from finding the cast and shoot location to directing the set and working on post-production -all in a completely new environment. I have some reservations about not being able to form a coherent crew but the challenge was enjoyable especially when we started to appreciate each other more towards the end. I particularly like the class that is never lacking in ideas and motivation and I have certainly learnt about the value of particapation in class such that we learn from each other. Most importantly, I got the chance to experience New York City in the midst of this!
Having experienced life as a student artist in New York, I have learnt to appreciate my goals in life. My career goal in finance has become stronger than ever as I would never look back in life to say I have never considered an second look on life. I really appreciate the chance to attend this course and have definitely taken with me a lot from it. Film has become an obsession for me now, and I would certainly pursue it when I see the opportunity. Meanwhile, I would get myself involved in film and TV at my current school. I would be happy if anyone would give me their views on pursuing art instead of the mainstream (or my mainstream).
And this sums up my time in New York. It is a full complete chapter in my life. To close this up, I quote from Uta Hagen again as I only got to appreciate her statement towards to end of the course.
'As an artist, the only thing you have to offer is the revelation of your soul.'
