I'm quite glad that people are enjoying making the Canon thing, because ultimately, whatever happens, I hope everyone will take something away from it, myself included. It heartens me to know that you guys are having fun and learning stuff (and believe me, so am I - I'm not WonderWoman) and I know that after this ends, no matter how tiring and tedious it was, you'll want to do it all over again.

I think reading the book Conversations With Editors a long while ago sparked off something in me which said I want to be an editor. It seems to me a very satisfying job. And recently I've realised that the part of me that always likes the easy way out loves editing documentaries, or things which have their structure decided after you look at the footage on hand. It's so much more free! But on the other hand, editing narratives/dramas/things-with-a-script-to-follow/etc really stretches your inner sense of rhythm and creativity (in a way). I'd like to experiment with a variety of styles sometime.
I've learnt to mute the sound and look at what part of the visual I want; I've learnt a little of how to pick out the best expressions for the best juxtapositions. I've learnt to be flexible and go with what looks right, as opposed to what it's supposed to be. And I think I'm realising that I should never give up looking for the perfect shot. No use shooting anything I don't fancy. Go around it, find some way that will make it look the best. No more "I don't really like this angle. Oh well. Action!", I think.

I still want to be on stage.
