Filmmaking

If you study cinema, people thinks it's quite obvious that you are going to end making movies and do jokes like "hey, when are we going to see your first porno film?" and stuff like that. But the thing is that reality (at least in this country) it's not like that, and in the end lots of cinema's students ends working in something like editing news or tv spots, because they finally found that they like more that kind of jobs and not necessarily filmmaking.

I really love what I am studying and really love filmmaking, and that's why despite of how hard it will be, I want to end my days working on films. I like the way that cinema gives you lots of different works into the same movie: you can write the script, edit the movie, work on sound or directing actors and why not, the whole film. Even when the script it's a work you do indoor, most of filmmaking it's outdoors, because even for the very first idea of a film you need to go out and discover the world, and not necessarily another countries: you must to go to another worlds that are hidden of common view and they would be on the next corner.

That's something I love of cinema: gives you another point of view of everything around you, because all the world moves on and nobody cares, but with a camera you can discover a whole reality in just one image. Yasujiro Ozu is a classic filmmaker that really influenced me to wish work as a director in the future. In his films you can feel how all the work around the movie it's like a meditation to him, a very personal way to stop and think about the world and answer questions by the cinema. I really hope to end someday doing the same.

  1. Ozu is a very reflective filmmaker. I like how his movies are full of life and movement without the need of move the camera. Great figure to follow.

  2. I love Ozu´s movies since I discovered some years ago and I really appreciate how they express the vision of him as an autor. I always wonder about if studying to become filmmakers actually worths the effort, however We can go on because it makes us happy.
    Have a nice day.

  4. I think the same, and is very interesting how you can have a lot of different jobs in just one movie, I hope someday you can make your own movies and have a really good job.
