While doing a short film assignment it started to feel stressful. I felt as if I couldn’t film anything unless it was for the project, which made me despise it. I love film and photography and was worried that I was losing my zeal for it. I decided to take a camera and tripod and just go out and film something- I just needed to do a personal project to convince myself that I still loved what I love doing, and that I was still good at it. I had no idea what I was going to do but the sun was going down so I needed to do it fast! I only did 2 takes and edited it for a day but the relaxing experience helped me temporarily with the stress I was feeling about the upcoming assignment. For once I wasn’t worried about criteria or originality. I didn’t stress about what people would think or that this could count towards a grade. I just did it for me which felt more rewarding.
