--- Memories Reloaded ---

After 3 years of hesistations, i'm finally in a film school!

No more NATO (No Action Talk Only) for me. Time for me to put actions in place than just having thoughts in the mind - getting my short films done and hopefully to participate in Film Festivals in the region. *keeping fingers crossed* : )

1st Week. 1st lesson for Film Directing lesson. The timetables for all subjects are hectic and busy...reckon that all of us are going to be even busier as more assignments pile in.

There were only 5 students in the entire class. Not bad i would say as the lecturer would have better concentration on a smaller grp as compared to a huge crowd.

Lessons for 1st week were rather 'light'...mainly the discussions of the courses' syllabuses and how the assignments would be assessed through out the semester. As a matter of fact, i enjoy most of the lessons for this semester.

It is through much thought that FilmMaking is essentially about LIFE. Multi-layers of thoughts of how individuals' experiences in life attribute to (a) how a screenwriter writes, (b) how a director connects to the actors in bringing out the essence of the context and (c) how an editor works technically to piece up the entire visual discourse with the director. In short, they are auteurs of their respective field...

Today's Film Directing lesson is good. Concise but interessting. It helps to stimulate our thoughts in generating ideas for potential screenplays.
