"Home alone.
Who knew it could be so Inspiring.
Satisfying.
Underrated."
Where is he?
He's asleep. He never leaves.
What happened?
When you broke your leg, You lost a lot of blood, Fell down 2 flights of stairs. Through a window.
I Just watched Twilight.
For some reason I find this movie very relaxing, inspiring.
Due to my completion of first term of FTV i have found that in that short learning period i have a new understanding of films.
Watching Twilight for the 4th time ever with this knowledge has made me see it so differently.
So many amazing Montages.
Just a powerful Soundtrack.
Influences from Social, Economical and Political, Audiences, Technologies and Institutions.
This is a very inspirational movie.
Not in the sense I want to move to Forkes and find a Vampire boyfriend.
But in the sense that I'm excited for the future of film.
I can't wait to begin my next project.
I have so many ideas swimming through my mind, I don't know which one will keep up my straight A FTV reputation.
I used to think i would basically just make a short narrated film.
But after really thinking about it, I now realise what a Montage really Is.
For example, If you direct your eyes to the Twilight DVD I know you all have, and Fast Forward to the end of chapter 13. 1 hour, 37 minutes.
That minute or so Montage is a true representation of the technique and what it can achieve.
I continue to replay this section of the movie. Just developing all my thoughts.
Ill be keeping my Straight A's.
Watching this Minute Sequence I can't help but think back to my death blog.
As I re-read my blog, I think about the impact I have made on myself, and the potential within me to make an impact on others.
On second thought watch from 1:37:40.
During these holidays I have been dreading the re-start of school. The assignments, essays, homework and workload.
But now i somewhat look forward to school. The creativity, the inspirations, the friends and the mentors.
As I look back on my life so far I am pleased with what I have so far achieved. But I can't Help but look to the future, what I can achieve. What I will make of my life. Who will be my Edward, clean my blood, give me life.
Now, as I Begin to bid you adue. I ask you to think of your life so far, and the potential you have to make your future more worthwhile
Just tough out these last couple of years of school, It will be the most rewarding pain you will endure during your 80+ Years.
Live those 80+ years as best you can. When your a teenager don't get caught up in rebellious practices. You have your whole Post Graduation life for all of that.
Speak to any school graduates and they will tell you that these are the best years of your life. You may not be able to purchase alcohol, get into clubs, or drive a car. But when you have something others don't, like an education, a roof over your head and clothes on your back. Just be grateful, don't ask for more, don't wish your life away. Just live with what you have at this exact stage in your life. You can think about your future and the graduation of school will be your most valuable tool.
People drop out of school not thinking of what they need. You may be failing every subject but just completing school, you may not receive your senior certificate, but finishing 12 years of education should thrust something upon you. You may not do your assignments, complete essay or answer tests but what you learn in class can be done subconsciously. By dropping out you are not helping yourself in any way. You can still go to tafe after school, after you consume this knowledge. It's a mistake your making.
Pay attention to the lesson your learn, the friends you have and the mentors you gain.
Take something away from every person you meet, every vampire, werewolf or human.
Take something away from every day you live, every fall, every class, every fact.
Remember, because you never know when this information will come in handy.
Live your life as best you can.
Finish school, Build a career, Produce a Family. Make a Life.
Our parents raise us until a certain age. They form the soil in which we grow.
When you reach that certain age you make your life your own. You live it by your rules.
This is all I have to say.
I hope I may have helped you to make decisions, or re-think already made one.
Look back on pre-conceived ideas of people. And Look to the Future.
What is most important in life?
