these types of questions are exactly why i posted on here... a quite famous and successful media professor and director (who shall remain nameless) raised these questions recently, and he suggested there were 'rules' and i wanted to get the opinion of people who are at the heart of it all... actually doing it.
I am very critical of everything and especially my own work... however, none of what i have done so far looks or feels 'wrong',
(- so does that mean it is right?? - rhetorical question ) So maybe i am getting there and not
'getting away with it', and as you said more experience will help.
enthusiasm and inspiration are not my downfall (as you have suggested) but maybe perfectionism is!?!
that is the other question to be raised... is there such a thing as 'perfection(ism)' when it comes to such a creative and subjective artform??
