I can’t make this one, sadly, but it looks like a great one for those of you wanting to get into the industry.
HOW TO GET YOUR FIRST JOB IN TV, Dan O’Connell, Wednesday 12 April, 7pm
If anyone attends, would love to hear all about it after mid-semester break!
Thanks, everyone, for another really great week.
The details of the second half of the Thursday studio (building our collection of ‘world’ resources), including what we viewed/heard and what’s coming up, are in this Google doc in our shared Drive.
Your contributions have made for an inspiring collection of existing visual and aural worlds so far, a very rich resource as we head into the phase of creating your own!
Cued by the Ganz reading (p. 8), we watched the opening scenes of The Apartment (1960).
We discussed the big print, the tone set therein, and made some script-to-screen comparisons.
For those who were absent, or those wanting to read the whole script by I.A.L Diamond and Billy Wilder (and it’s a beauty), here’s a PDF.
…need to be inserted at the end of each Project Brief (i.e. assessed) post.
You can copy/paste from below:
I declare that in submitting all work for this assessment I have read, understood and agree to the content and expectations of the assessment declaration.
And it can now also be found on the Google doc listing student blog URLs.

A sketch of what a response to the PB2 third prompt might look like.
Critically engaged words…
Reflective musings…
Direct quotes with page numbers…
Intelligent quote from review of Frozen River with author, date and page number…
A sketch of what a response to the second PB2 prompt might look like:
Intelligent and deep reflection on my script/writing exercise.
A sketch of what a post responding to the first PB2 prompt might look like:
Intellegent words contextualised within my own practice…
Critical engagement with quote – e.g. Cleese should stick to funny walks; collaboration is the death of original ideas.
Hi Another Worlders,
Check your student email inboxes (as I trust you’re doing regularly!) – you will see I have shared with you your individual student Google Drive folders (as separate from our shared studio folder), now containing feedback and hypothetical grade for Project Brief 1.
See you tomorrow,
Stayci
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!
