Week 1b – Wait… Filming now?

To think that we would be stuck in class learning more about writing and developing our skills on scriptwriting for another two weeks or so before getting out there and start applying in the field, I was definitely wrong! So today we were finally meeting with the creative writing students to collaborate and film our “homework task” that we media students did. We had a crash course on filming angles and movements. Then we were sent out to shoot our script. It was funny how everyone threw in ideas to replace some of the props we could not find in uni that we completely changed our script.

Overall, the creative writing students were a blast to work with. I had a chance on acting this round and I was slightly intimidated by how quick my group mates could get into their given roles. I can put acting right next to scriptwriting as my weakest link in the production. We had a few setbacks because we had no props or locations that would fit our script so we had to change a lot in our script. The spontaneous ideas when we found our location made the film more interesting.

Here is my script based on the prose my group mate, Michael, had written in class.
