haha, I love how Alexis Bledel says "Graduation Day!" in her new movie Post Grad.
anywho, I just "graduated" Film Camp!!! YAY! It was SO much fun! I learned so much and got to meet/work with such talented youth and adults! "We're having more trouble with the slating than the scene..." "It's so funny to listen to his snoring for 45 seconds..." "If it ain't dead, shoot it!" I'm ready to step out into the world and show my creativity!
There are about twenty-three hundred other things I could have done today, like clean/pack my room (yes, I'm moving rooms. Into a smaller room I might add... but I get to decorate it the way I want so I'm excited. Maybe I'll post a picture when it's finished.), read my book, finish some videos I've been working on...well you get the idea.
But no. I like to be unproductive. So I slept in AND took a nap today.
And found this nice video:
and Googled: 'jump cut'. [credit wikipedia]: A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way. For this reason, jump cuts are considered a violation of classical continuity editing, which aims to give the appearance of continuous time and space in the story-world by de-emphasizing editing. Jump cuts, in contrast, draw attention to the constructed nature of the film.[1] Although the term is sometimes used in a loose way, a cut between two different subjects is not a true jump cut, no matter how jarring.
interesting. you learn something new everyday.
maybe my day wasn't as unproductive as i thought. =D
Secondly, I had a massive breakthrough...I think... The other night as I was riding home, I closed my eyes and I saw his face and started to tear up. And at that moment, I realized that I didn't say proper goodbye to him either (like my old love). But at the same time, I wasn't as upset because I don't like him that way. I think I liked the idea of love more than I liked him. I liked how passionate he was about life, about the dramatic arts. And that he showed me more than I could imagine and how he reminded me of my old love. But I'm not upset, because I know this will not be the last I see of him... Besides, I'm taking what he's given me and running with it, not wallowing in the past.
"Love goes out, out like a light, out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore. Just when you think it's lost in the rain, it comes back knocking at your door." --Wheel of the World, Carrie Underwood
"...life was an undiscovered river I was jumpin' in Head first It was sink or swim Do or die ...And now and then I miss those days But coming back to this place I realize, it ain't him I miss It's that young girl, wide eyed, First love, one time Innocence ...The one thing I can't get back Is the one thing I miss ...And it was breaking rules Flying blind What you see through younger eyes It wasn't what I thought it was Man, I swore he was the one And now and then I miss those days But coming back to this place I realize, it ain't him I miss It's that young girl, wide eyed, First love, one time Innocence..." --Innocence, Sarah Buxton
"Baby run cut a path across the blue skies Straight in a straight line you can't get here fast enough Find a truck and fire it up Lean on the gas and off the clutch Leave Dallas in the dust I need you in a rush So baby run" -Run, George Strait
Wake up, I'm trying to show you I wanna come clean you mean more than you should mean but I'm willing to be
the one that you put on a pedestal the one that you see in your dreams the one that you hide your true self from the one you want to please
and I know that it's wrong to want something so false and so fake it's not that I want to fix you I just want to get my way
cause you're the one that I put on a pedestal the one who keeps coming back to me the one that I gave my whole heart to the one who makes me believe
I want a love that's side by side I want a love that holds me tight I want a love that feels like a dream so when I wake up, he's still there with me
so put me up on a pedestal give me everything I need but give it to me so completely that there will be no more wishing no more wishing no more wishing no more wishing
--No More Wishing By Hayley Taylor
