TUJ Film Festival in 2007

We finally finished a TUJ film festival 2007!!

Through this course, I learnt a lot of things about film. What we did in this course were, basically, gathering people for entry, evaluating films of students, putting subtitles with a software called Final Cut Pro, and finally, presenting those films. Especially, I put much effort into making subtitles and correcting them. I don’t remember how many times we checked and corrected them over and over. Since I am not native English speaker, I had to have my translation checked by native speakers. The expression of English and Japanese is sometimes totally different, even if we mean to say the same thing. So I tried hard to make them more natural and smooth.
The advantage of this course for me was that I learnt how to put the subtitles with Final Cut Pro. It made my motivation about film higher than I expected before taking this course. Also, it was helpful to put subtitles of my film in another class. Overall, I was really satisfied with this class.
