ok midway through first semester.
By now you should be considering your major project for second semester. You should be re-writing your seven step outline for this on a weekly basis, tying it into the premise and major themes you wish the short film to reflect. Protagonist and supporting biographies should be well on their way. You should also have started your journal for this project- a collection of ideas, concepts, observations, anecdotes, visual puns, clippings, reflections on life…. anything that might be of use in developing the four P’s: Premise, Protagonist, Plot, central dramatic Problem.
This is a DAILY commitment to WRITING. Do IT! …write….comment.. typos dont matr!!
Bring your development work for assignment three next week: premise, protagonist, plot, problem, storyboards, 6 line script…and be starting to identify who in the class might be useful in assisting you in realising YOUR project…. BUILD YOUR TEAM ….NOW!!!
..and write about the PROCESS of how your project evolves on your blog… AS IT HAPPENS…!!
Polti’s 36 Dramatic Situations
"Georges Polti was a 19th century French writer described 36 situations that may be found in many stories, based on the list identified by Goethe who said it was originated by Italian Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806). Perhaps some of the themes and examples do betray a bias towards the stories of the day, yet they are still very useful stimuli and provide interesting examples of enduring and real human dilemmas."
