screenwriting workshop

This week in film we were to partake in a script writing workshop. I myself am enjoying my self. besides the two days I was sick. He taught us many things such as writing to "show a story" not tell one. My favorite activity that I did, was he had given us a still photograph. From this photo we were told to write a story introduction. I did not only limit my self to this photo I went beyond as to what had happened next. I cant wait until the final project where we will have to write a thriller with a major twist.

Lemos's class and how we are surviving.........

In Lemos's class last week we took yet another field trip to the famous Mole Richardson lighting company. On the trip, we were presented with various one light, lighting techniques. I love the way a lit set looks to through a camera. The lighting technique using a CTB was very appealing to my with the occasional film noir hard slashing shadows. this made me interested in how to master such wizardry. Observing such an alluring set made me drool to the floor. I hope to someday be trained by the light wizard himself Mr. Parker.

Class (We Took a Field Trip)........

This week in class we hopped on the bus after 2nd period and drove all the way down to the beach to find somewhat of a hidden beautiful gem known as LMU or Loyola Marramount University. At the school, we took a tour or two tours rather..... The first tour we took was about their film or tv production program. My favorite part of that tour was looking at their editing bay. I was beautiful in my eyes it made me want to plug in a flash drive download footage and get to work. I can say that I am definitely applying to Loyola Marramount. It would be a great school to go to. 

Lemos's class of social skills.......

This week in Lemos's class we were asked to finally start the filming process of our sound design project. I learned that this is a very energy draining activity. Yes, t'was fun BUT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I CRASHED. The experience also taught me that You can not sit down you have to be constantly working. And always be prepared because when your camera's battery dies, well you have to order pizza and wait thirty minutes to start filming again. AKA you can't do anything and it becomes a race against time. 

Besides all of the mishaps that we had and how mentally exhausting the process was I can not wait to edit this movie that I am actually proud of.
