Film TV 1 – Jasmines Lecture

I learnt quite a few things from Jasmines Lecture on Monday. Most notably that film is not real life ‘because real life is boring’, which had me thinking for a while as I hadn’t really thought of it that way. Films definitely evoke ‘real’ emotions within you but thats not because the film is real life, it may be based on real events, although it is a tool for film makers to creatively use imagination as a tool to create certain feelings for the viewer. In the ‘Getting an Idea’ reading it had a circumstance of to script writers who had no real ideas of what to write about, so instead they thought of what they wanted to see on screen and based there script and ideas around that. This process may come in handy as sometime the scriptwriting process can become cluttered while constantly trying to envision it on screen.
