The IS, Embrace the Thing You Love to Hate

     So I totally realize my title today sucks but I seriously couldn't think of anything creative and fun to emphasize my sentiments of hate.....Yes I definitely just said hate because I can honestly say of all the film assignments I have hated doing the Independent Study the most. It is an unbelievably long and difficult process. First you must pick 4 films from two different countries, and yeah I know if I had done standard level I would of only had to pick 2 films from one different country but I was just being undeniably stupid. But anyways back to my explanation, so after that you must come up with an annotated bibliography and form your thesis of sorts you basically make an entire write up of this fake documentary that you're writing on your topic.

     Basically in its entirety the process is hell and unfortunately I still have not completed anything....I haven't even done film draft one of my IS. I'm in deep shit right now guys, real deep shit. Excuse my French but I seriously can't find the motivation for it, I've looked and its not there. One time I was totally gonna start and then I realized I didn't even know what it was supposed to look like. So yeah I repeat...deep shit.

    So yeah I hate film right now. I mean I love it but, I hate it...Oh wait! Now I thought of a good title!

And on the Third Deadline it Rose from the Dead

     You guys are probably wondering why I just made a Biblical allusion in my title, well the truth is I was just making a pun. You see our film was supposed to be due like a week ago but thanks to the wonderful Dr. Adams he has given us three extensions and we our finally done with our first copy of the film! Yesterday we put our soundtrack into the play, which was quite difficult if I may say so. See you readers are probably thinking, "wow a soundtrack no big deal, you can just go on iTunes and download something." WRONG, with this stupid project ALL MUSIC MUST BE ORIGINAL...That's right we have to record everything by ourselves. Luckily Apple has a wonderful program named Garage Band all I did was put in some strings, a little piano, and a loud ass organ and depressing music was made. We then added some vocals and there is now a depressing song for when Sarah, (Oh yeah I found out her name was Sarah) throws Penelope's ashes to the wind. It's perfectly sad, perfectly original, and a perfectly awesome finish to an annoyingly fun project.

     I know I just made it sound like this blog is over, which of course would be the end of life itself. How would you get through your day without the wonderful blog posts I have produced on a fairly irregular basis? Many of you would probably commit suicide, Like as the Waves make towards the pebbled shore....YOUR DEAD BODIES WOULD WASH UP TOWARDS THE PEBBLED SHORE....Just kidding, that might have been a little too morbid for my taste and that use of Shakespeare was a little annoying, like seriously I'm annoyed with myself for my use of figurative language. But anyways, no need to worry guys because this blog is not over, so don't jump into any abnormally large bodies of water and drown because that would be pointless. You know the whole point of this rant is sort of pointless, considering all of my readers would be dead because I literally never update this blog so to all of you dead readers out there, life is pointless and so was your suicide because this blog will continue...at least until the end of my senior year.

     So guys, how are your lives going, mine's pretty good, thanks for asking...Oh wait I have to go, farewell my dear readers, never fear, I will be back....Eventually.
