ext2 (1124) - day 5: concept

in my confusion yesterday of double-day note-making, i forgot that i in fact was present at extension 2 on tuesday.

the teacher let me be coz i was unable to complete the tasks assigned coz i got sick last friday 'til monday, but at least i got to hear everyone elses.

however, if i did mine i found out it would've been lacking anyway. even though we were meant to write from the perspective of that random character again, we neeeded a concept.

the teacher explained that concept is a thematic thing, and its based on values of the time of the story, to give the story a meaning, make a comment on something, etc.

well i was told to do it anyway, even though i don't necessarily submit it.

our next task is using the setting we described last week, write about an event. and give one of the characters a voice, take their role; their persona.

also, i got to talk about my ideas for my movie more. the two ideas, either about the two peoples lives, or the one guy's life split into his past self and his present self. an issue would be time restraint. i've noticed for the other movies (i've been looking through the scripts) made, the scripts are like 7 pages, with hardly any talking.

but it's alright, i didnt wanna have much talking anyway.. but somehow i need to find a relevant and good story, and tell it within 8 minutes. hmm..

its like a minute a page approx, i need to really think about this.

first things first, if i cant think of a story for now, i'll at least look up how to write a script. that's a good starting point
