Accepting Film Criticism

In film class my peers and I when we screen our films have to accept praise, damnation (sometimes), and criticism from our peers and Dr. Glaros. When you receive praise there is really nothing that feels better but when you receive a remark that insults your film it is crushing. When you work on something for that long and then receive damnation on it it is very painful. The remarks are not meant to be personal but sometimes you cannot help but take them personally. Even though you know that these remarks get you ready for the film panel for your final some of them still hurt on a personal level. The entire process is bot painful and rewarding, but once the final review is done for the final project there is no better feeling. The final criticism for Introduction to Film Production is a huge weight lifted off your shoulders. You realize you have an entire summer before you have to edit an film again. Even though I love doing the films and other film related things it gets old after you do it non-stop for nearly 18 weeks.
