Join us a we journey back to kindergarten

by Tarald K. Tvedt 6:12 pm 0 comments Experimental Film Year 1

Newspapers, glue, and friends who haven't seen each other for four week - what could go wrong?

So the year starts anew, and with that a new term, new challenges, new ideas, and new assignments. I think we have all been rather curious about how this second term is gonna be. Last year everything was new and exciting, and let's be honest, making a sequel is scary. To quote film maker George Lucas,

"The easy one to make is the first film because nobody knows whether you can make a film or not. You've made a bunch of little projects, you've shown off you have talent, and you talk real fast, and you convince somebody that you should be doing a feature. And, they let you do a feature. After you've done that feature, then you have heck of a difficult time getting your second film off the ground. They look at your first film and they say, "Oh well, we don't want you anymore." 

So starting second term is in no way a small task. Why not have some fun then? 

As I discussed in my previous post I think experimental film is some rad stuff. You can basically think of your craziest ideas and put them to life! So now we just have to actually make those ideas haha, which in my opinion is probably the most fun part :) 

So Anne got us some newspapers, some scissors, some glue, and a blank piece of paper. "Find nouns, adjectives, and verbs! Make poems! Glue them together!" she said. "Ayay!" we said. (Maybe not out loud, but we were definitely thinking it.) 

So, this on is ours. I went for the "pick your own" poem approach. It's a never ending square, so pick the order you thinking sounds the best, and voila! You have a poem.

 This one has a lot of words. Good job !

These two belong together. Clearly someone has captured David Camerons infamous lust for fresh bacon. 

I don't know about the others, but with banter, friends, and kindergarten activities, at least I had a blast :D 

And to now finish off this post with another quote by the previously mentioned George Lucas, while I enjoy this Star Wars-branded Volvic Natural Still Water,

"I took over control of the merchandising not because I thought it was going to make me rich, but because I wanted to control it. I wanted to make a stand for social, safety, and quality reasons. I didn't want someone using the name "Star Wars" on a piece of junk."

Truly a man of his word.

PS. I might have a few spelling mistakes, but my Oxford comma is on point.
