Reflection on internship.

I feel i have grown at my internship. At my time at Bavc i have lerned to del with stressful adults whop can't communicate as well as they should when dealing with student who is ugnorint in the subject that is being teached. I have also lerned how to used the video editing program Final Cut Pro effectivly, and use cameras and tripods correctly. One of the personal qualitys i have strenghtened is the fact that i lerned how to pick up on things a little quicker when i am under presure and to use logecal thinking to solve problems that i have not come across before. The reson for this is that when i came to Bavc i did not know anything about writing and filming. And working with Jason i had to lern most of it before he thretened to fire me. And when i came to a new step he told me what to do but did not explain the procedure on how to do it so i would often lose things on the computer on final cut proand lose writing.

Gowth at my internship.

In my oppinoin i have grown a lot as a person becasue of my internship. I have had to deal with new expiriances that i did not know how i would react to. At my internship i lerned that people will do a lot to make their pebble of a burden look like a boulder. At my internship my mentor said i was messing up in certain areas that he assumed i should know. After telling him i had almost no interest in film making i don't know a lot about cameras or tape or editing softwere and after hearing this and telling me i was the yungets person at Bavc he countiued to hol of on constuctive citizism untill the last moments. I know that if he would have told me where i needed to improve i would have and that i was unjustly treated. My first time dealing with a behavior contract was at Bavc. Jason had me sign a conrat that said that i would not go on youtube (whic only happened on my down time) and that i would be more preductive. I feel that if he would have given me a crash course on things then i would have don a lot better then me just trying to figur out h
ow things work when i got to them. SO i think i have grown is certain areas with dealing with obsticales and next time it will work better.

Week five

At my internship people analize movies and use technices from other film producers and add it to there own style. There is no data analized at Bavc.

Desprate attempts!

So this week i made a desprate attempt to try and keep my LTI. I really dont think my mentor wants me there, because he has put a stop on about two of my moives and has written me almost three bad reports but he cant explain any of them and he is being light weight repetitive. He keeps saying that i am a distraction to my peers and that i should not be around them. But to every adult figure who comes to talk to him about it he cant say what crime was deserving of that kind of punishments to where i have to be seperated from my peers that i love and work with and go to school with everyday. He says that he has a problem with anger and he "holds it in until he explodes", so he does not adress me wheen he sees that i have a problem and need to improve. To me i feel that, that is a problem because if he does not adress me then i dont know to improve and that poses as a threat to me being the "youngest" member of Bavc. And with me not realy having an experiance with cameras and tripods and final cut pro, and being thrown in the loop i might pose as a problem to the factory and i understand that but he could have done one of two things. One he could have not hireed me in the first place and two, he could have tought me a little bit before hand so that i could have had s= a leg up in my situation and could have been judged fairly.
I feel that my attempt was for not because i cant make any films and i dont have a interest in going back.

Internship

Hello, followers (if their are any) i am not fired yet. But last week i helped my freind with making his movie. He is doing good and i helped with the the boom system and the HD camera. I have a script but my mentor says it is to complicated to film and i say that is crazy. My mentor says it is good to start but he stops them in the middle. I don't think it his his fault but it is reallt, really, really frustrating. This next small film i have is a lot easier to film but i need more people in it. I will probly have to ask Jason if i could film it for the weekends. But so far my weekend are full so i won't be filming for a while and then i got to edit it so i don't know if i will have it done by this school year.

Internship

Over the weeks that i have not blogged i have run into trouble at my internship. I almost got fired (dont tell my mom). My mentor has never worked with someone as young, funny, and as smart me and also as ignorent in the subject of filming. So we ran into a problem. Jason could not give the energy to teach me everthing i needed to know to be on level with the other student which are 11th and up. And because of that we had to write a contract. I felt that the contract was a little unfair,b ecause he said i was on youtube all the time and i wasen't. When i first started going to the Factory i noticed that Alberto and the other Metwest student was on youtube all the time, and in the brggining of my term Jason told my teacher that i was not slacking off as much as the others. And i have gone on youtube but i was not going on youtube as much as the others. After i finished my first neriritive and shotlist and Jason said it was okay for me to shoot, i had nothing to do and everytime i asked Jason if there was some thing i could do, i had already done it so i had free time on my hadns so I can understand how to Jason it looks like i wasn't doing anything at all. So that free time i had filled with surfing the net and doing homework, but youtube was in the mix and if Jason could recollect he would see that he hardly saw me on youtube and i don't realy care if he getson me but if it cost me my job i am definitly not messing with Jason.
