ext2 (0209) - day 9: preparation

today, we all had our one-on-one talks with the teacher in preparation for our viva voces next week.

i was pretty much left til last.

so in the meantime, i got some "actors" to help me go through my old scripts, and i even wrote a new script in a random 10min.

stimulus stimulus.

here's the thing, these characters: luke and stella have even more depth in them than the "characters" in my major work.

i'm considering making them the main characters, but perhaps either tweaking them, or tweaking the plot around them.

but while tlaking to the teacher, i noticed some of my bigger issues.

i need to look at past works more, like finished products. i need to see what i'm up against and what's expected of me.

my journal has to be more organized man, i need to acutally make an annotated bibliography to put in.

setting is an issue. i mean i can film anywhere, but i need to think about what builds onto the scene.

and i need good actors. i realized today that it will take time for them to get what i want them to do.

being a director is gonna be frustrating.

but lately i've been re-connecting with people from that workshop, it's a good thing i guess to be connected, someone to talk to, and get ideas etc.

must keep moving forward.

time is of the essence.

seems dodgy now, but we'll make it.
