I found the reading we were given for our first week tutorial quite interesting, as well as the content we looked at in class, and I felt I learnt a few things that I can really take forward and use during the semester. Peter Bloore’s guide on giving feedback and writing script notes was instructive and concise and provided a few tips that should come in use when it comes to looking at work my peers have done. While it may seem obvious in retrospect, it’s a helpful reminder to be considerate and constructive when criticising somebody else’s work. The other thing we looked at that I think may come in handy was Cooper and Dancyger’s ‘8 questions for finding your short film’s structure’. I’ve often struggled with short films and coming up with a narrative I’m happy with, so having something to look at as a guide is sure to be useful and I look forward to challenging myself to create something I’ll be able to look at and be happy with.
