Seeing Red

In case you are wondering what this pic is all about I’ve started a new part-time course. It’s a course about film making and this photo gave me the idea for a script I’m writing. The story is called ‘Seeing Red’ – not sure if I’ll post it here yet as it’s a bit rubbish.

I had no idea there was so much involved in making a film and so many people behind the scenes. So far we have written our stories, written a script and are now working on a storyboard. My storyboard looks like something a demented spider crawling across the page would make. It’s fair to say I can’t draw!

I’m finding the course really hard at the moment and I’m looking forward to doing more of the practical work when we start filming something. I’m not academically minded at all so it’s a bit of a struggle. I am enjoying listening to other people’s scripts though – thank goodness I’m not the only one who murdered someone! I blame it on all the crime books I read.

Are any of you doing any courses or is there something you’d like to learn?
