Up until now, I had only had Directing and Cinematography classes. But today, I had my first Screenwriting class! It was so exciting! It's really fun to find out that my teachers are legit. The teacher was asking us what our plans were for our shoots this weekend and one by one, he added to the ideas and turned them from mediocre to amazing. Then, one of the guys in my class looked up his IMDB, and he has a serious feature film under his belt. Crazy! Now we're all inspired to look up the others. Haha.
Tomorrow will be our first time filming. I don't know if I told you that if we aren't directing our own films, then we are crew on our classmates films. So tomorrow I am DP (director of photography), also know as a cinematographer for my classmate's film. I seriously have the potential to mess her film up! Remember that I told you guys that I don't love cinematography. But as long as I capture her vision, then things should be alright. After we shoot her film, then I am AC (assistant camera) on another film. My job there is to basically be the right hand of the DP. So if the film is out of focus, that's my fault. If the film is not properly slated, that's my fault. The only thing I am not in charge of tomorrow is lighting. However, I will be in charge of that on Sunday, and then I get to direct my film on Sunday!
We checked out our equipment today for the weekend films and I just felt this overwhelming surge of excitement. I'm serious that it is taking everything for me to not just jump up and down on a regular basis. I can't wait to finish my project and post it so you can see!!!!!!
