At the end of first year we was given the option to specialise in a area of study for second, which happened to be special effects for me. The reason i chosen special effects is right down the fact i would like to be a SFX artist after graduation. SFX is very interesting to me of how to create something so realistic, I am generally scared of horror films or anything explicit with gore but i am also very fascinated by how realistic they look so i always carry on watching.
I first knew i wanted to became a SFX artist after visiting and halloween event know as Farmagedon a few years back, this happened to be one of the scariest nights i've experienced but was also a big eye opener to change my career path.
My experience with special effects is very limited due studying art and design for majority of the years in college expecting to go down the path as an interior designer. This changed when i was knocked back from University. Everything happens for a reason right? so during my Foundation, i looked/researched in basic level of special effects but i honestly find i am confident in this area of study as it is very art based and creative and i feel completely in my zone.
Expectations? Expectations with in the area of study are to be able learn things no others can, a lot of special effects stuff is online and easily followed. I would expect we would learn how exactly to make them realistic and to be told clearly what we are expected to do within our assignments. SFX is very complicated when it comes to certain parts and can be very confusing for certain study, me being one. I expect the seminars will be used time wisely, i looked throughout each week and what we are expecting to be taught.
Fears of this area of study is falling behind, before i said areas of SFX can be very time scheduled and confusing. I expect to follow through on attending every lesson i am possible to make. As you you may have seen on my Summer Work i suffer with serve Anaemia which has a huge impact on my health. I am hopefully in control with it after having a bad episode during summer, i have been give prescription drugs, but the doctor has warned me i may have the occasional week were i may feel low. Another fear is to be overloaded with work and panic this is known to make me procrastinate to avoid actually reading over with what work has been set. I understand second year is going to be extra intense but its always scary to know that this year is extra important to my final grade.
