Screening of our 90 sec film "The Wrong Girl"

In the fall of 2014 I live in Denmark and study at the Aarhus University. I'm attending two courses; one of them is Film- og tv-analyse in Danish and the other Visual Media Production 2 in English. The courses are awesome and exactly what I wanted to study here.




 Back home in Helsinki I took all the film courses at the university, but the courses were only about film history, film analysis and film theory. In Aarhus I have the chance to do some practical work within film; to actually make my own short films. It's an opportunity I am very grateful for, since I wasn't sure I could ever try making my own short films. I mean, without doing them on my own or going to a film school.

Making of "The Wrong Girl"

Now I have the chance to do this on university level, getting instructions and try out the equipment, and later on decide if that is something I want to pursue.


I have learned so much about the process of making my own short films, everything from brainstorming ideas, make the storyboard to decide on actors and edit the movie. There have been times of frustration and bad ideas, but also feeling of success and satisfaction of doing something so creative and interesting. One of the best things with this exchange student-period is the chance to go these courses and get these experiences within film. That maybe sounds geeky, but I really mean it ^^

I hope my studies here in Aarhus help me find out what really interests me in film and what I possibly want to do in my future.
