Every beggining is exciting, every ending is sorrowful.
Not long ago I started to feel here like at home and in a few days I am leaving. It was really short time to be and live here but nevertheless I've learned pretty much. For me it was an important step I've made in my life and I ve got a piece of knowledge that I couldn´t learn at home.
The academy gave me the different view on film, I can better imagine how the industry works.
When I´ve been working on some film before I came here - I´ve made the whole work by myself. Partly I´ve been afraid that others will screw up my film, partly I didn´t know how it actually works in the film team. Recently I´ve started to think about my future film work at home. I remembered one script my friend wrote - it´s actually a play, but it has so many visual and performance potentionalities, that I´ve decided to make a film based on that play. What I wanted to say by that even if I haven´t done so much work and I haven´t so much results from RSAMD (like short films), I have a lot of ideas and I will use them for sure at home.
The academy by itself was a good place for study. What I´ve found really good was the effort of teachers. But I felt sometimes like on high school. The first reason is that first year students are so young - that´s the difference from the schools in the Czech republic, where it´s not really possible to get so early at the Academy - Art school. Only when are you lucky - as I was. The second reason is that the class is quite big - we are four in my class at home. And the third reason is that I´ve been feeling the care from the side of teachers. What´s really great - It was much easier to fit in.
Which classes I´ve enjoyed mostly?
When we have been talking about art direction and visuality of films. Then I´ve started to check the website and I´ve found some books (By Design,...) which I want to read to learn more about that dilemma.I´ve enjoyed the technical classes. Now I feel capable to light, shoot, edit. It needs lot of practise but now I´ve the base on which I can build on.
And the tutorials with Richard because I´ve overcome the fear of getting my ideas on paper and from my mouth. It is maybe ridiculous but nevertheless it helped me very much.
