It’s the first week of uni and I am starting out my second semester for Year 2 studio workshops! This semester I chose a film writing studio because I want to work on my weakest link which was creativity and scriptwriting. It is called “Writing for Film , Filming for Writing” and I shall just call it “Film Writing (FW)” for short. I have had my fair share in filming and editing and now it is time to work on some pre-production. I can already foresee the struggle I will face throughout the semester but with group work, I think I will be able to pick up some ideas and maybe some tricks from my peers. So excited! Can’t wait!
The studio aim fits my goals nicely because I am only learning scriptwriting which would prove to be useful when I am in a production team. This studio aims to develop a competent technique (the best way) to compliment and strengthen the filming process. It gives me a sense of repetitive practice to get used to the correct format of the script that is used in the media industry. This studio is (finally) matching my expectation. Let’s just say I was a little surprised (not in a very bad way) with my previous studio as it was definitely NOT what I thought it would be.
The first workshop session on Monday was done and we were put into random groups temporarily to brainstorm ideas and gives me a chance to learn from my peers. ANDDDD…. we got “homework task” already! And it’s due the next workshop (meaning this coming Thursday!) Time to get out of holiday mode and back to study mode.
Ciao!
