I don't know what I'm doing but...
I seriously don't know what I am doing, but I hope to begin the film script soon. I have set up a time with my friends this past Monday to help brainstorm some ideas and hopefully begin something.Since I have no clue what I am doing, I have asked two of my theatre friends and my college writing professor, who studied film to help. Of course my theatre friends will be guide in regards to content and plot in this form of writing. My professor said he was going to send references to help with structure and ways to set up the script. I'll eventually search the for references myself.When my friends and I talked on Monday, I told them the truth about not knowing what I'm doing. So one of them told me to write a 10-page script and told me not to think about what I was writing. All I could think was: "How am I not supposed to think?"I am used to thinking about what I'm writing and whether it will make sense and if the plot will match down the line. The 10-page script will be challenge for me to do, but I am up to it. I must finish by the next time we talk to each other.The reason why I want to create a film script is because I want to try something new with writing, for fun and because of my college writing 2 course. The course was based on the analysis of film and writing papers on them. Watching the films made me want to know what was the process like for the writers of the movie. The dialogue is the backbone of the movie then the visuals.I think that when stories are created and turned into a great visual masterpiece, it's pretty freaking awesome. Lately, I have been looking a graduate schools that offer film or television programs. I am finding it hard to chose what I want to do for a Master's degree.I think this will conclude my rant about not knowing what I am doing.And for you Trekkie fans, go see Star Trek: Into Darkness. I found it quite delightful, I want to see it again. (The lens flares don't disappoint.)XO Arisa (If you guys have good references for script writing, format, etc. comment below.)
