To address the pandemic once more it was a pity our plans were cut short, very few foresaw it, and those who did were laughed at. I had never seen the world in such a state, just like a bad cut in a film the illusion of order was suddenly broken, revealing all the laws to be just a bunch of fragile scaffolding supporting an even more fragile society, now suddenly unable to be sure of anything, and forced into thinking just of today. An invisible enemy struck the world and took our breaths away, all that in a span of a bit more than a month.
There were a few good things about it though, very small things but it’s still something. It was amazing to look at the world turn to the internet, suddenly everybody reached out for the arts, for books, for music, for games, for film. The world is battling loneliness like it never had to before. And while the healthcare workers fight for our lives, artists fight for our mental well-being. It’s good to be seen once in a while.
Overall to conclude my work on the module, I think I did my best as far as the day to day reality made possible. I definitely put all of my passion into it, lots of thinking, lots of planning, and an ocean of lessons to learn.
Next time I’ll focus much more on a healthy and efficient working process, I will try to argue a bit less (although no promises), and I’ll keep on being fascinated by the art and craft of film. I hope to catch all of the modules, I hope it will be possible, I can’t choose one out of cinematography, editing or sound, completely impossible.
Thank you, Juliette, Pettrus, Tayjib, Aaron, and Daniele for being an outstandingly creative and wonderful team.
Thank you, Elin, Rod, Siencyn, Tom, Jon, and Huw (and every other member of the staff whose names I don’t know) for this amazing module.
And see all of you next year! Stay safe.
