I attended the student supplied film festival at the Kentucky Theater on friday night. It consisted of films submitted by students and hand picked by Mr. Logsdon and Behler. Even though my film was in the show and a few of my friends’ were as well, I still had not seen the majority of the films submitted.
The show started at midnight, which I think is what makes it the most special. It’s like a midnight premier of a blockbuster film but instead it’s your work. The fact that my work was being shown at the Kentucky theater on the big screen was also very special, but I don’t think it was as important as the midnight timing. The show opened up with Mr. Behler giving a quick briefing on TV/Radio as a whole, and then the films played. I was worried that audio would be a problem, considering most of our class isn’t all that advanced in audio balancing. I was worried that some videos would be much louder than others, and it would quickly become a bad experience. Luckily, Mr. Logsdon knew what he was doing so our audio was somewhat balanced for the show. Also, I LOVED seeing a film with stupendous image quality on the big screen. A well shot film deserves a screen like that.
The greatest part of the whole show was the variety of great ideas portrayed through film. Some were definitely better than others, but I was really impressed at how much work many of these people put into their films. For someone like me that loves the hobby so much, it really was a pleasant feeling to see the appreciation of others towards it.
Throughout the show, from color to black and white, action to love, comedy to formal, not one of these films did I dislike or scrutinize. Even though I had never seen them, there was a significant attachment I felt towards each of them during the show. These films are what started the knot that ties up my wonderful senior year.
