Hi Another Worlders,

You have become victims of your own success – as you’ve offered such considered, intelligent and invigorating ideas to our discussions of ‘World’ you have a reading this week from a scholarly journal. It’s a discussion about screenwriting description.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on how it relates to our activities of week 3 (giving words to visual worlds). We will briefly follow up on the scenes you wrote based on the photo story board exercise, so be sure to bring those too.

The article by Adam Ganz is this PDF.

But wait, there’s more:

For our Thursday class – our last in the phase of the studio called ‘Losing the Plot’ – please each bring an example of a visual, audio, or audio-visual world (for instance, a link to an online clip, a screen grab – whatever works) – to discuss before we move on to making our own.

Look forward to seeing you all next week!

As we know, each studio is required to DELIVER the following

1. Regular studio updates
2. A mediafactory studio website archiving the learning process and studio outcomes
3. Produce and present an 8min presentation for delivery on Thursday 8th June

Each student’s contribution to these will be assessed as part of their Project Brief 4.

Everyone has signed up and it is now official:

Hi everyone,

A screenplay this week (if you can’t read the whole thing – and I hope you can – please at least read up to the top of p. 22).

Consider it alongside this other reading on screenplay worlds (excerpt) – we’ve discussed a lot of these ideas already, but pay particular attention to those questions in the last paragraph when considering the assigned screenplay, and your own developing ideas.

Look forward to seeing you all again next week!

Details for this event (as discussed) on next Wednesday:
