Some Softness This Fine Evening ❤️

I literally did not understand the term “comfort character” before I was introduced to monkey d. luffy but damned if that straw hat doesn’t bring me inner peace and joy

I felt incredibly uncomfortable while watching this scene. It felt like every time I got mocked by men. I got so incredibly frustrated.

the scene towards the end where shiv is essentially trapped in a room with all the men in her life turning on her?  panic attack inducing.

whoever directed this episode did an amazing job of imbuing that scene with misogynistic violence even though there was no actual physical violence.

I got asked a few weeks ago by pictosays if I had any tips for upcoming film students, now I’m nowhere near an expert but this is what I have come up with from personal experience.

Learn from the ground up  You are in school for a reason, don’t walk in thinking you know everything because you made a film for A Level Film Studies, everyone did and people will get annoyed with you rather quickly.

Take risks University is the time to take risks in your work, you have a safety net, use it to your advantage.

Get experience Talk to 2nd/3rd years to get roles on set, they need some extra hands on set and you need to know how a set works in the ‘real world’.  Also use your summer/weekends wisely, get an internship or some runner jobs at a production company. Hands on experience is invaluable and a foot in the door never hurt.

Be nice to your peers In film school more so than others you have to work in teams, it’s part of the industry and it’s a part of everyday life. Don’t make enemies you will regret. 

Theory is important It’s one thing being able to make a film look nice but if the shot has no real relevance/meaning then it’s pretty useless. 

Use Lynda.com I use this website all the time, it has detailed tutorials on all industry standard software. There is a subscription fee but most (mine anyway?) universities offer a subscription as part of the degree. (Also Avid is the industry standard for editing Feature/Hollywood films at least get your head around the workflow) 

Be prepared to self-teach This is true of all subjects but in film somethings you just have to figure out yourself, you have to figure out your own workflow. So instead of complaining about it just get stuck in - you never know it could be fun. 

Don’t get cocky about your specialism  You want to be a director? Awesome, go for it but have a backup. Director isn’t the only job available and it also isn’t ‘the most important’. Film sets are nothing without all the other departments, learning how they work will do you no harm.

Watch films! Expected really but at times you get caught up in production, make time to go to the cinema or to re-watch your favourite film, remind yourself why you do what you do. Also expand your genres, watch the classics and go to experimental film festivals because inspiration can come from the strangest places.

That’s everything I have for now, it’s also good to remember my BA is more fine art film than feature/hollywood but the principles the same - play around, find your niche and work hard.

If you have any questions just drop me a message :)

they are literally this meme

we heard u loud and clear babe ♥️ @taylorswift

honestly steven yeun is soo stupid and pathetic in BEEF *twirls hair and giggles*

This is what really happened...

Ja echt?? Wieso muss das immer sein?! Es ist mir immer so peinlich wenn ich erzähle wie mein Lieblingsfilm heißt. Sie hätten einfach den Orginal Titel übernehmen können.

Ich glaube das schlimmste an der deutschen Übersetzung von Goncharov ist, dass sie es "Goncharov - Schüsse in Rom" genannt haben. Hallo?? Es gibt eine Szene die in Rom spielt. Eine.

This is the most exciting thing to happen all year. I want more drama

Roman being desperate for Gerris comfort, but not being able to communicate it. Roman being in denial until he has seen Logan’s body… this episode fucking ruined me

roman as the child who suffered the most overt abuse at logan’s hand growing up…roman who finally seemed to be coming to a place where he might be ready to confront logan head on, who left that angry voicemail after having to knife gerri on logan’s orders and hating himself while doing it…roman being the only child who forgot to say “i love you” to logan in his dying moments…roman who could only use the language of violence and strength and lies when saying his final words to logan (“you’re going to be okay because you’re a monster")…roman being the only one who felt like he HAD to go see logan’s body…i am Feeling Things™
