Scriptwriting, Storyboarding & Storytelling. We had scriptwriting lesson today! Talking about movies and their scripts. When asked what my favourite movie was, i said "The Doll Master". ^^ For least favourite, i have no idea. HAHA! Scriptwriting lesson is interesting, although sometimes i dont understand the teacher's powerful english. We were shown and told many facts about scriptwriting.

"If a story can't work in ten minutes, how will it work in 110 minutes. It wont get better when its bigger. Everything that's wrong with it in a ten-minute pitch is ten times worse onscreen."

~ Fact stated by Robert McKee ~

Important to plan and come up with a good story! ^^

We had a few group exercises in class today where we were asked to choose a movie and state its Genre, Setting, Logline and Theme. We chose Titanic as the movie. Therefore, the setting of the movie is a cruise ship.
When we were asked to tell the class about the movie, our dear friend KIWI pronounced Cruise Ship as Bull shit. Probably because of her braces! HAHA!! Many of us burst out laughing including our teacher.. HAHA! Our first group assignment for this module came in near the end of the lesson. The grouping was chosen by our teacher and I had to group with four other guys: Vincent, Steven, Yun Da and Jonathan. LOL! poor me...

We have to choose a favourite movie, select pivotal of 16-24 scenes and provide a caption for the key scenes to be done on powerpoint. First week only and we have 2 projects and 2 drawings to submit! SIGH!!!
