Class Work - Act 1 Scene 1

This is the first post of The Journey of Jess the Film Maker, I am a BTEC Creative Media (Film & TV Production) student. I set up this blog as a way to document my progress throughout the course as well as promote my upcoming work.

My first post is about a quote I was given in class today. 

 

"My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water."

Robert Bresson, a French film director from the 1900s.

 

I really like this quote because I feel it perfectly describes film making, it shows that it is not a linear process and that at times there will be high points just like there will be low. I believe it proves that the production process has to be fluid and ever changing to give any small detail to have the ability to forever change the end result.
