So yesterday in class we had a practical lesson in my film class (first one). We started off by doing exercises like breathing exercises, making faces, funny walks etc.. (did you ever do this janet??) for pretty much half of the class before we begun.
We were then to choose which screen plays of the 9 screen plays Cam (teacher) selected, which would be used for the workshop. Few people offered their screen plays up, and I wasn't one of them, but Cam said that mine could work -.-" So we ended up with 4 screen plays, mine included. Sorta felt rejected because none of my friends would be working with me, but I guess I can understand why? In the end, I only got two people to work with me and Cam volunteered to be part of my screen play... errrr...
Let me just show you a part of my screen play shall I...?
"STRANGER looks down where MAN has placed his hand and looks up at him. She smirks at him and slowly slides his hand away allowing his hand to run down her arm. She turns around and heads into the crowd but turns around to look at the MAN with the same smirk.
MAN grins and follows the STRANGER deep into the crowd, slowly losing sight of the STRANGER. Finally he loses all sight of the STRANGER and he frantically turns around in circles in an attempt to find the red dress. A hand is placed on his shoulder; he turns around to find the STRANGER's face a few centimetres away from his own. He grabs her around the waist as she places her arm around his neck; they engage in a passionate kiss as they sway towards the blasting music. "
So that would mean Cam would be the MAN. Crap. I felt sorry for whoever had to be the STRANGER....><"
Of course, we wouldn't actually show that part of the scene, because I'm sure the Uni has some sort of rule against stuff like that... XD
So I had two international students working with me, and a Michael Keaton look-alike. Awesome.
(This photo actually looks just like him XD)It didn't go too bad, although I had to say, Cam kinda looked creepy. -.-" He's expressions were pretty spot on in terms of being a sleazy guy trying to hit on a girl, albeit a bit over exaggerated. He would put his arm around the int. student's shoulder and do a close whisper thing... Eek. ><" At that point, I was really glad I wasn't the actor. I commend the girl who managed not to freak out or anything.
So, now I'm debating over whether I should use my screen play or not for my assessment. The girl who played the STRANGER said she would like to do my screen play, but that would mean looking for actors and stuff -.-" And I really don't want to in charge of my own screen play...*sigh* I would rather be the 'sheep' than the 'herder' in this case. I'm not familiar enough with the behind the scenes of how stuff like this works, and being told to direct my screen play is just... Eek what do I do?!? kind of feeling. God I wish my friend was back from Thailand already... well she'll be back tomorrow so I guess I can discuss that with her then.
Also... there's this girl in class, who I can tell wants to work on her screen play, except I'm not very keen on it either, but she's kind of you know... I need people for this, and I'm sort of.. well.. I want to check out other peoples' screen plays because I couldn't hear them in class last time -.-" A bit mean of me I know, but at the moment, I personally don't think she could handle becoming the director when she has so much stuff going on in her life. There are so many times when she leaves the class early or answers a phone call in class... I think it's hard for everyone to try to get along with her sometimes... it's not like I hate her or anything but sometimes shes a bit overbearing and a bit of a know it all kind of personality. Damn it.. did not mean to turn this into a bitching session... So I'll shut up before you judge me any more.
(Anyone want to read my screen play? XD)
