It’s the start of a new year and we got straight into the work in the Picture This! studio. This first week has been an eye-opener on all the basic knowledge that I lack in regards to screenwriting. Doing the reading on ‘Description’ by Robert McKee and applying that knowledge to the script excerpt of […]
Read more "Time To Picture This"First week back and we’re straight into business. Quite literally, actually. This first two classes of this studio were screenwriting workshops with Australian Film & TV Director/Screenwriter, Ana Kokkinos. This is was definitely an eye opener for me and I’m so glad that it happened so early on in the semester because what she shared […]
Read more "It’s Not Me, It’s You"It’s been a while since I’ve used this blog so here’s my attempt at writing a decent blog post after several months. New semester, new studio.

Read more "Passionate or Passion-not"How does one word hold such great power in impacting people’s lives? From Orientation alone, we’ve been advised to get to know each other since we’re all going to be together for the next couple of years. So we might as well be friends, right? I suppose this was reiterated again in our first week […]
Read more "Hello"Blogging. How the word sounds so familiar yet the experience of it is so unfamiliar I find somewhat amusing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had experience with other forms of blogging before. But WordPress blogging and actually writing about my life experiences is something new to me. So it came with such surprise to be […]
Read more "A Beginner’s Blog"Introductions aren’t always easy nor engaging, and this could be said about this week’s first lectorial for Media One 2016.
