Workshop groups for Wednesday Week 10 (10 May)…
Workshop 9B (tomorrow, Thursday 4 May)
Hi everyone,
Here are tomorrow’s workshop groupsĀ as assembled in part with those who were there at the end of the session today (I have Vera’s apologies and Ella is overseas).
As also advised, we are doing a script editing exercise tomorrow – the scripts for analysis are in the Drive in a folder called ‘Week 9 activities’.
Ideally, before class:
Group 1 read and take notes on Script 1.
Group 2 read and take notes on Script 2.
Group 3 read and take notes on Script 3.
Groups 4 & 5 read and take notes on Script 4.
Before workshops continue, you will compare notes with the other members of your group and discuss the screenwriting techniques and conventions therein.
GROUP 1:
Alexandra

GROUP 2:

ATMOSPHERIA
Somehow, in the excitement of mid-semester break and the build up to the presentation extravaganza, I neglected to post our collective musings on what makes an Atmospheria (with due respect to Ed’s Central World Tendency):
Thanks, Dana, for sending the notes and deciphering my whiteboard scratchings!
(Michael – your table’s excellent example of an Atmospheria/CWT would be a welcome addition to this post should you feel inclined to share those notes)
World logline
Things to include:
- Setting (location and time)
- Rules
- Parameters eg. A small town where no on leaves
- History
> influences people (way they are, way they react)
> influences landscape - Character if it is relevant to the setting or world
> eg. Her – Theodore’s narrative arc/choices/character progression is a consequence of the world he is in - Central world tendency
- Tone/setting – in the way this statement is written
- Characters input insofar as defining conflict of world (use, view or interact with world)
Congratulations to Michael!
…whose documentary short screens at the highly competitive St Kilda Film Festival 19 May.

(If I wasn’t going to be at my own graduation, I would be sure to attendĀ this world premiere!)

Workshop Groups for tomorrow (Week 8, Thursday 27 April)
Listed here:Ā Week 8 workshop groups
The name in italics belongs to the person workshopping their work tomorrow.
We will continue with this plan to workshop in small groups of changing members until Week 10, then decide if we want to change the system or continue.
We will also talk tomorrow about a system for sending on work ahead of time (say, the Sunday before the Wednesday/Thursday sessions).
See you tomorrow!
Presentations
Congratulations on all of your presentations yesterday; as I adjourned with the panelists, phrases such as ‘blown away’ were on high rotation.
Also, thanks for weathering the storms of unreliable technology, and helping each other with solutions.
On Wednesday (first session Week 8, 27 April) we will begin with a follow up with a chance for you to feedback to each other, and to watch the videos we missed (namely Liam’s, due to technical glitches, and the full video presentations from Marco and Olivia, which were watched by the panel after the session because of time constraints).
No official set texts this week, instead:
Work on delivery of Project Brief 3.
From next week, come to the sessions with any work in progress. We will talk about how the workshopping process will proceed on Wednesday.
