What do I want from this course?

Through the course of this semester, I want to be able to grow and develop as a writer and as a filmmaker, evolving my understanding of what takes to thrive and the sacrifices that must be made to be successful in this industry. This program will hopefully allow me to be given the tools to construct a piece of material that is well written, understandable and more importantly, intriguing – something that captures someone’s attention for the right reasons, something that viewers want to see more of, and something that an audience will dissect and make them constantly think. On top of this, I would like to be able to create a piece of writing that is suitable and coherent with the desires of the viewer – expressing their emotions and feelings towards things and others. Moreover, once I believe I have written material that is coherent with the needs of the viewer, I want to be able create a film or a scene that encapsulates the words on the paper to the screen. By using the array of writing and film techniques, I believe that I have the capability of creating something that an audience can relate or something that they can be blown away by – an idea or a story that can leave someone wanting more. In addition, being a realist, I understand that some of these ambitions will not be achieved so I must adopt an approach that is pragmatic yet honest with my work, dissecting the good and the bad that comes with it. If I am able to acknowledge that my work is below standard or not up to the scratch, then I have to accept it and find away to improve or alter the piece.
