The Tempest came and went and it left quite the mark on our school. Many of you attended the film screenings to see your friends' film or to see your own films, streeters, etc. This year was unlike any other as far as film entries go. We had 14 different short films, not to mention the many animations, streeters and self portraits that were screened, and the audience reactions varied. Films like Hoop There It Is: The Rise and Fall made people laugh, while films like A Strange Arrangement had people wondering. What about you? What did you think?In this LAST blog explain, what your reactions were of the films this year.

Which ones were your favourites - which ones made you react or respond the most? Discuss what it was like to have your own films or streeters screened. Screening your film to an entire audience is a totally different experience than screening your films in class. Were you satisfied with what you saw, did any film blow your mind, or were you disappointed with the content?


I think this year's tempest was awesome, but I didnt really see a lot of movies one movie I did see was the one about the instant messaging couple. I thought it was really cheesy but looked amazing for a film student in high school. Whoever wrote\edited and directed it was very talented in my opinion and had probably spent hours if not months working on it. Unlike the other movies I genuinely liked the actors and actresses because they were believable and they too were vary talented. I also liked the movie because he used techniques that i don't remember learning during the course! Like the text showing up while they were talking and typing, and they various camera angles he used. I also noticed some movie cliches that were done skillfully, like the ending i thought was typical of a movie like this but i believe that it was done greatly.

If I Had my movie shown during the art show, i think it would have been nerve-racking because I would've worried about what other people thought and whether they like it or not! If it my movie was done so poorly that it made people laugh! i would've hated having my movie in the art show. One movie that i was interested in seeing was Hoop: there it is because from what I heard, it made people LAUGH OUT LOUD. Im a huge fan of the Art show because it brings the school together to showcase the talents that Mary Ward has in the arts medium.
