Awkwardness

In drama, I find that there is not much space for awkwardness. And by that I mean real awkwardness, not acted awkwardness. A meeting of two people in an awkward setting. Maybe an individual who is a bit of a weirdo asking for company. The awkward moment when you stare at a door, and suddenly comes out of it, making eye contact with you. Do you say hi? Look away and pretend nothing happened? I think that its a quirky ‘mood’ that can be explored in Film 3. And more often than not, these awkward moments probably occur when the camera’s are not rolling.

A good way to capture this would probably be to use a candid camera technique. I believe I have a real talent to make others feel uncomfortable around me because I’m an awkward person by nature: doesn’t matter who I’m with. A good friend, family member, co-worker, sales assistant, stranger, teacher – the list goes on! I think I would make a good subject for this doco/drama thing.
