So, we have finished with our first project, and there is one thing I've wanted to tell you about all this time but forgotten to. The first cinema work of Tarkovskiy was a magnificent adaptation of the Hemingway's story "The killers". He, together with his groupmate, A. Gordon (the father of the today's showmaker) shot a movie completely reapeating the story, being the third-year students of the director faculty, but the only difference with us is that it was made in the first semester of the third year of education. That was the very time when Tarkovskiy became famous in Russia, and some time later (when his works were being appreciated in Europe) in foreign countries. There are no women actresses in the film, and the plot is repeated in detail with the story. As far as the movie it is thought to be the best student work ever. The camera work and director's style is very deep notwithstanding the professionalism. HIS first film was based on Hemingway, so what future is waiting for us then, huh?))
This is an idea! Why not have regular video projects to interpret fiction? Yes, it's serious. We may even go back to some our plots that we read before. For example, Our Town or A Heartbreak House or A Square Root of Wonderful. Why do you think? May be some time next year I will talk to the university's media centre about hiring professional equipment. What do you think?
Actually we've already planned our future projects. We've even written the first book script of A farewell to arms. And we definetly have some plans for future. As far as the media-center, it would be awesome, but it's hardly possible. They have lots of work there and shooting a film means doubling their work.
When I watched the whole movie for the first time I was really amazed. Our group with no special education, training and equipment made a real movie! Of course there were some mistakes and problems (I took an ashtray away from the table, but in the first scene it was there )))), but it was only the first attempt. I think our group is capable of everything!
