Since the idea of filming my screenplay scares me out of my mind, todays workshop was extremely helpful. I've never wrote a screenplay before this one, let alone made a film. Although I have ideas for how I want each scene to look, everything film-making-wise is still completely foreign to me. I now have crisper ideas of what I want when shooting. Steve gave me really helpful advice and thoughts; How to portray a person is at their end or beginning, how to make a scene feel really carefree or filled with tension, etc. I now have tons of thoughts on things to make my film better, plenty of thanks to Steve and Cassie who gave me the best ideas. Now I just have to get all my thoughts in order. But, I'm still plenty scared. It's hard not to be when doing something new.

Bold Optimism, kiddo. Bold Optimism. You can make it. You can. I totally believe in you, as does Steve, as does everyone in STAC.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll feel better if you make storyboards.

I didn't know anything about making films my first year in STAC either. I always knew how I wanted it to look in my head, but I wasn't sure how to make that happen in a film. It's only scarey now because it's new, once you do it, it won't be scarey anymore. Then, the scarey part will be WATCHING it and having OTHER people watch it for the first time.
