my "friend" keeps thinking I stole his ideas for my blog...

    which is somewhat true... but, he has a really good blog and so I "take" some of his ideas even though they are small jokes and he gets really upset about it for no reason at all. It's kinda annoying but also really funny at the same time. 

His name is Zach London.

  the bum i'm refering to...

    His blog is down below.

    Anyways, there is a reason why I am bringing this up. It relates to the bigger picture of this class and, more specifically, this project.

    

    The whole project was a wonderful experience and I actually find it really interesting that my friend bullies me about my blogs. The ability to create and share work is truly wonderful. It allows others to look into your creation and comment on it. Obviously whether I "stole" his work is entirely subjective, but, even having that argument in the first place proves what this class is worth.

    As I am starting to wrap up this project, I am reflecting on my new skills in creating and my new skills in crtiquing others' work, just like what Zach does. I learned how to be a better director, writer, actor, and filmmaker through this class. Even though I am no Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese, I am genuinely impressed of the skills I've gained throughout high school through the processes of filmmaking and journalism (which includes this class!). 

    And I think that's the point of this class, even though we haven't yet critiqued the film openings for our class, I'm sure it will boost our skills. Because as much as I dislike Zach for thinking I took his ideas (which some may argue that I did!), everyone has a right to comment and argue about others' work because they've made work on their own and perhaps the critiques serve as a way to improve oneself. Zach has taken this class before and is actually in A level. Critiques and comments are not meant to harm the person in no way, but, a way to make them better. Zach wants to make me better. But. Still. Fuck you zach. I know you're reading this like a little turd. I know that you want the best for others. I know that you want others to imporve. I know that making fun of people like me serves as a way to improve yourself. But. Still. Fuck you. It's my blog, I can say whatever I want.

    But, on a more real note. It's all about improving yourself, through the cycle of creating and critiquing, which seems obvious. But, I feel like many other classes that I've taken don't quite give you this experience, which is why I think this class is genuienly crazy for even existing. So yeah I had a pretty positive experience with this class. I'll see you guys next time for my final post. See yah!
