Reflection on Fashion and Film

I have really enjoyed this winter school subject, and am extremely happy to have done it. I've learnt things I have never even thought about before, and I feel my knowledge of the relationship between fashion and film has been expanded upon greatly. Every lecture Pamela Church Gibson gave was so enlightening and a refreshing look at the whole fashion scene. Pamela has such a wide knowledge of fashion and film and I only wish I could have taken in all of her knowledge. For such a short time, Pamela was able to get through a lot of content and she did it in a way that was easily comprehensible, and made each lecture attractive in their own right. Watching the films each week in the first week of this winter school subject meant I was beginning to actually put all the content of Pamela's lectures, the scholarly reading's and Deborah's tutorial discussions into action while viewing this diverse films. The subject has made me view these films (of which some I have previously seen before) in a different light. I was able to question societies acceptance of these films and the currant themes that ran through out the lectures and the films. Overall the content of this subject has been insightful and intriguing, and I now have an desire to watch about a 100 of the old Hollywood films which I have never seen before.

Reflection on the Film

At this current stage, I'm pretty happy with how our film is going. I think our shooting went really well, and although yesterday was an extremely long day for everyone, we got what was necessary on film, and having reviewed some of the shooting we did yesterday I think our will hopefully display our concept in an effective manner. I have had a tremendous amount of fun in the entire making of the film, and I think each member of my group worked extremely hard to get the film to where it needed to be. Our film came on quite a journey in the week we have been working on it, and form start to finish we continually developed our initial ideas into more solid concepts and themes that worked with the design aesthetic we were aiming for. The editing of our film (although there is still a bit to go) is coming along quite nicely, although it has been a bit tricky as none of us had any experience in Final Cut Pro, so instead we decided to use iMovie, which I thin, viewing at what we have produced so far is the better option for the kind of editing we are aiming for. I am anticipating the final production not only to see our own film on the big screen, but also to see the diverse nature of other group's fashion films, and how each different group will have interpreted their perception of a 'fashion film'.
