I wouldn't normally write about a soap opera (which I don't normally watch), but I was bored and channel-hopping this afternoon and came across
Guiding Light on CBS. What I saw was so disturbing and awful, I just had to talk about it.
To briefly inform those who don't know...I'm an aspiring filmmaker. I recently graduated from a local college with my degree in Making Movies, have been on several student film productions as a Camera Operator, Script Supervisor, and Editor. I've learned about the correct techniques, the history of film, different styles, direction, lighting, and cinematography.
Having taken the time (and not to mention a great amount of money) to learn the process of filmmaking and the correct way to do it, I tend to get a little pissed at the recent trend of every yahoo with a video camera shooting a production in their backyard and thinking they know how to make a film. At the very least, get some books and learn about lighting and cinematography. Don't get the impression that you can make a film just because you've watched 100 plus movies.
( On to my take on Guiding Light's new look... )![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
