In my
opinion, learning all these new and fancy ways and names to take a picture is
like telling a Victorian child butter now has multiple flavors. There’s more? Not
to mention, I want to get a taste of all of them. Some of the skills I already
know how to do: planning and organizing production work, storyboards, shot
lists, scripts, using a camera, basic operation, focus, framing. I know how to
do at least these things since I took theatre in eight grade and wrote a lot
of scenes and went through hundreds of scripts. However, I have some things I’d
like to be better at: applying media theories, genre, audience, representation,
institutions, understanding mise-en-scene (costume, setting, lighting, props). Obviously,
I worked with a lot of props and settings during theatre, but it just wasn’t enough
hands-on work. Of course, I know some of this since I worked with this a lot,
but I don’t know enough for it to be one of my strongest suits, and what I know
so far is definitely what a Cambridge class would consider enough or up to par
knowledge.
