Week 10 - Day 2

Today we had critical and contextual studies 2 with Andy. He was talking about the form of classic Hollywood film making. We started doing a group exercise, a shot list for a short dialogue piece. Each of the groups came up with similar shots and the way they were cut together. the purpose of the exercise showed that we all came up with the classic Hollywood form. 

This style was established by Hollywood in the early film years and has stuck ever since because of its simplicity to edit.

In the afternoon we had Richard for screen writing, where we shared our premise ideas. We also took part in an exercise for a short 3 minute outline that went slightly chaotic but better than last time. 

I was happy with my premise ideas, but i believe i can do better. On a whole the day was very educating and has spured me onto opening my mind further, really just to dig deep or gothat extra mile to find better premises.
