Since starting this course, I have recently revisited my journal of film ideas over the Easter break. And found that I was able to add quite a few details on each idea and they all seem to be related to scene construction and coverage. The Creative process is a funny one. I get this funny feeling whenever I am revisiting a past work or concept and find myself adding, reflecting or thinking differently when I approach it.
In addition to my new insights to scene construction, I also felt a sense of detachment from the ideas due to the natural course of time. This meant that I could approach it with a certain objectivity that I previously didn’t have. I visualized new things when reading my notes and scripts. Places where I was blocked and couldn’t perceive how the characters or events could continue to make sense suddenly didn’t seem to be a problem anymore.
It has also been quite a while since I have reviewed some ideas and have become even more excited about them than the first time.
