What went down yesterday.

English is not my first language, and I'm a terrible public speaker. Having that said, imagine how much worse of a public speaker I am if I'm reluctant? I've always dread the idea of showing anything I'm working on when it's not done. So I've decided to bring in mistakes and out takes, (which was my bad for not telling anyone prior to that). I was nervous of course, being reluctant and all. So when bombarded, I cant even think. And I thought I did a terrible job defending my work. To make it up to Kiamu!!!, (a project closest to my heart among any other) I'll post up my arguments here, not being able to say anything back the other day (which was totally embarrassing...). First off, if anyone was paying attention in my previous presentations, they'd know I was planning to take the documentary-like approach to the film from the beginning. The first line in my proposal actually does say the word "docudrama". And if one reads the script that I've handed in, it should make things even clearer. So when they say that the film is "going another direction", that is just simply not true. As it's going exactly where I intend it to. Maybe it's not going the direction that they have been persuading me to take, that's what upsets them. But I personally think that film school is the only time I'll be able to express myself the way I like most. As this would be almost impossible once I step foot in the industry. Although I was planning to use a boom, the audio levels of the diegetic environment were going to be brought down in the end anyways, giving way to the much substantial voice-overs. Switching mics was a decision made in complete awareness of this. The logo on the characters' shirts didn't mean anything, but the colors do. So to no mislead anyone into believing that I'm going to go with their suggestions again: 1. No, i would most probably not attempt to deteriorate the audio to the cellphone-like audio quality level. 2. No, i would most probably not attempt to deteriorate the video quality as well. 3. Again, I'm going DOCUDRAMA on this!

Kiarite!! Kiarite!! Kiamu!!!
