On Monday, we had Kim we splitting our story outline into episodes and stuck them to the wall arranging each of our beats into A, B and C stories. It was very interesting to see how the story lining process works. Even though it was simplified, i think i got an incite on how the soap business works.
Tuesday Ray gave us a brief on the up and coming project, 'Black Cats and Blue Angels.' He also talked about our end of term 7 minute shorts which i was excited to find out. I knew my script would not be nominated because my short didn't have a clear goal, The whole script didn't follow the proper structure. I understand structure but every premise I was coming up with didn't have a clear goal.
On Wednesday morning I was shooting a few scenes. The starting scene we shoot ran smoothly because we had a lot of time, but on the finishing scene we were pushed, the lighting was not all that good, the shots were also rushed. I suggested to Murdo we should shoot the scene again.
In the afternoon we had a late screening of' 'Bonnie and Clyde.' The film was enjoyable but it seemed very different for that time because of the film's violence glorifying the main characters armed robbers. This film was part of the evolution of the new Hollywood and different attitude of the up and coming generation.
On Friday we had a tutorial from a special guest John Yorke who is the head of many Major British soaps and series, East Enders, Skins and many more. John gave us a tutorial on story structure. He is a skilled teacher, it made me understand the 3 act and 5 act structure more clearly. I loved the session 10 out of 10.
