Postgraduate studies



To be honest, I can’t think of a postgrade studies for a career as a filmmaker. I know there are postgraduate courses but unless I’m studing critic theory, I find the idea of specialize myself in editting (which I believe is non existant in Chile) like a lose oppurnity to learn something else. For example, I’ve heard some editors find more resources to develop the tone and rythm of a scene because they are either musicians or practice sound related projects. Sadly, I’m deaftone as you can get, cant even hum a tune properly.
I’m split between finishing my first career, Literatura Hispanoamericana, that I dropped for Cine y televisión, and learining programming for videogames. The first one because I wanted to become a Spanish teacher, because I love literature and  I liked teaching and learning new ideas and concepts, and above all discussing them. In the same line, I would like to learn new languages like portuguese, German or mapudungun.
Also, I would like to learn how to make videogames because it’s the hobby I’ve invested more time, right next to reading and watching films. Since is relatively a new media, I’m excited to see how it will develop in time as another way to express ideas and experiences like and artform.
I think I would like programming abroad because I’m incredible wary of the institutes that lecture videogames in Chile, kind of like Cine y televisión, because there is more of a focus in market placement than to actually developing the skills necessary to make a videogame.
About Literatura, I would like to study abroad as well, probably Argentina or Cuba.

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
I would like to visit Canada, because in the future I would like to assist to a film school in Vancouver. I dont know much about Canada, except canadians speak French only in some areas but they also speak english, so at least they would understand a bit of what I have to say. I know it's cold on winters and usually rains a lot, but I was born on winter so it doesnt bother me. I never like warm/arid weathers anyway (so studying in México or L.A. is out of question), but I like the coast weather better.  Like I said, I would love to study filmmaking in Vancouver but I dont think I would like to live there. Basically, I would prefer to live on a place where people at least speak my native language. I would like to do every little thing a tourist does though, like eat different food and drinks, visit traditional places or learn other costums, and maybe teach the natives that it doesnt matter who you pronounce quinoa whatsoever (a personal crusade of mine).

The Wind That Shakes The Barley Review

I didn’t like much the film because I feel like the director focus a little too much on the duality of the two brothers fighting for the liberation of Ireland and their opposite views on how the conflict should be resolved. Basically, one brother is willing to compromise with England and the other doesn’t.   They both have very good reasons to fight, like when the english soldiers gratuitously killed a neighbor of theirs, but we don’t spent much time to know the people they are fighting for besides the one "hockey-like" game they are all playing at the beginning of the film.  At one point, one of the brothers, Damien, shot a friend he knew his entire life, who betrayed him and his brother. And then he tells his future wife about the time he went to vist the mother of his friend, to tell her where she could find her son’s grave. At the grave, the mother told Damien to never show his face again to her. So when a similar situation happened between Damien and his...

My future job

Imagen
I would like to work as an editor for a film in the future, or any audiovisual content like advertising, television, etc (but mostly film, because national televison in general pay less for the editor's work and his job is very underrated). I realized while working in a short film, since I study Cine y televisión in ICEI, the work I enjoyed the most in the filmmaking process was the editing of the material in the comfort of my room with a cup of tea. It sounds a bit out of touch and lonely but it really isn’t.  Ultimately, I depend on the work of several people for the realization of the short, and my work consist in taking all that effort to create the film everyone intended to make and more.  Although post-production is the most time consuming part of the whole process (the shooting of a film might take thee weeks to two months, while post-production can take over a year), I find it to be the less stressful. After the pre-production and the shooting, in post-p...
