Setback




In the morning all was well. After the workgroup with Tom, Cathy and Julija headed to BG1 to edit our fiction film. Leyla, Pien and I took on a path to Cafe de Jaren to brainstorm ideas for our second documentary. We drank coffee and came up with the idea of documenting the Little Plant Pantry. Happy with our finding, we started doing research for both documentary ideas.

Suddenly we started receiving ominous messages from Julija and Cathy. Editing was not going well. We finished our sandwiches and hurried to BG1 to look into the difficult situation. 



We talked it through, and will just have to work on the fiction film for a bit longer than expected. Bad news - but nothing we could not handle.

Kids acting as professionals

Hello everyone! How are you? Have you missed us? No? Well, what a bummer, we will have to speak to the wall again...  Oh wait, are we hearing something? Some tiny excitement-filled cheers? Are that you lovely readers? So what can we say, we're simple people, you give us a bit of attention and we will share with you all our life story as if we're fourteen years old kids who first time in their lives had vodka&orange juice... Probably right now all of you are getting crazy flashbacks of your teenage years... So here is a photo as a reminder that a drink containing juice, does not necessarily mean a healthy drink. Why we are talking about this? You probably came not for this but wait a second. We just want to remind you that even we're with professional filming equipment it doesn't say that we're good with it. Oh boy, this just made us feel and act like teenagers again, just this time... filming equipment replaced good old vodka with orange juice. Vide...

First Post on our Making Of Blog!!

Matchstick Women and Man A man impatiently enters a budget drugstore. He cuts in line and demands pills that his shrink gave him. Without those pills he wouldn’t last until next week. After a brief struggle, the apothecary asks for the package, but in the end the seemingly important pills are nothing but ordinary vitamin pills.  A good start for the second year at Media and Culture, don’t you think? In our first seminar of the year our group got the assignment to make our own version of the scene from Matchstick Man (2003) we just described. During a brainstorm session all kinds of ideas came up. The theme of making someone believe that he or she needs something or someone, seems the most interesting theme from the scene. We all agreed that this theme would take place in a dystopian setting. This could take shape in the form of a placebo or the indoctrination of a group of people. One of the ideas that we had was of a diegetic commercial. The commercial t...

Still Struggling

Week 3. We are still working on the concept of our film, which has to be finished this week. We know where we want to take the story, but it's hard to get the details right and make final decisions on where we want to take the script. This made for some heavy discussions in the crew, but all with good intentions as we want to make the best script we can. On Monday we had an easy morning and started with presenting our findings of the analysis we did on the style of Andrea Arnold's films Fish Tank and Red Road . Here, we discussed elements like cinematography, sound and setting. The analysis helped us get a clearer vision on where we had to take our own film as being inspired by Andrea Arnold. After class, we headed to what's starting to look like our signature working spot: Prisma, next to Oudemanhuispoort. We ordered a bunch of coffees and snacks to beat the Monday Blues and got to work. This is where things started to get a little messy. We had some major disagreements...
