- Film and You
Film making is a great tool or a way to reflect on yourself.
I have made at least 30 stories in my little notebook I carry around. The other day I was looking through all of them to figure out which stories I should film next. As i go through some stories, it clearly shows in the stories how I was emotionally feeling at that moment...,Anxiety, feeling lost, loving and hating someone,and all that.
As I was writing them I did not meant to write anything about my self..just tell the story that popped up in my head but there is always these essence of "me" into my stories.
that even goes to my shitty test footages on youtube too. the images and the music I chose at the time... Why did I choose that certain object to film and pick this certain music?...I guess is because its how I felt at that moment. If i felt somewhat depressed, I unconsciously chose a song which matched my moods and a video that projected my feelings.
Im not great with explaining my feelings into words but what Im saying is that whatever you create is a part of you, that goes with creating films, music, painting or writting. We use these things to express how we feel, and I guess thats what we call Art...
but why do I have the need to express myself? I dont even need to express myself and who cares about what I create or how I feel? And I also often think to my self "Why do I keep making these videos?".
I dont know....but I will continue to disturb you guys with my feelings.
