Today we had classroom classes, which doesn't make for a very good blog post. But we started getting all of the paperwork that will need to be done on our D1 films, and that's exciting to me. I love paperwork and lists and things. And it reminds me of when we did concerts for NAE way back when.
On another note, a more exciting one, my screenwriting professor really liked my script! We had to do a 5 page story, and mine was 9 pages when I finished. I spent all day Saturday-- no, literally, all day-- sitting in a chair, cutting it down to 5 pages. It took me like 6 hours. No joke. And I'm very proud of it.
So, needless to say, I was pretty excited when he said he liked it and that it was good. There were only a couple of things he wanted me to fix. And he said I really know what I'm doing, and that the writing was very strong. So that was pretty incredible. And now I don't have screenwriting until January. In London.
Today I started planning out my shots for my film. I drew storyboards yesterday and today I started trying to set up the shots I need. I also searched for locations online that people have shot at in the past, and found about 6 that I can check out. My dream location, The Other Side vintage store, has actually been used for a film in the past, so I have my fingers crossed that they'll let me shoot there.
Tomorrow I meet with my ATL crew, and we can talk about the movie. I have to shoot in, like, 2 weeks. Yikes.
Tomorrow we have a test on driving the trucks...double yikes. And next week is Crew Drills! We do 3 mock shows a day, and we're at school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. til 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. all week. But it should be fun. And intense. And crazy. All the things film school is about.
