Carrying on from our Monday class, we continued looking into the short French film, I’ll Catch The Next One. But this time, we were given the opportunity to discuss and create our own continuation of what happens after the woman gets off the train. And so, this post is dedicated to me simply sharing my […]
Read more "To Be Continued"A phrase I’m all too familiar with since I catch public transport too. Anyway… we kickstarted our second week in the Picture This! studio by screening a short French film where a woman is hoodwinked by a man’s skit on the subway. My interpretation of the protagonist, which is the woman, is that it’s pretty […]
Read more "I’ll Wait For The Next One"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"So today, we had our first day of filming and it was actually pretty good. We had a fairly early call time to allow us enough time to set up all the equipment before the actors arrived. But to say that we were cool, calm and collected would’ve been a great joke but probably not […]
Read more "Film Firsts"With only one week left before we start production, what else could possibly go wrong? Well, fortunately enough not a lot, but there’s always that one thing. And in this case, it’s securing a location. You would think that filming at your own university would be the more practical and time efficient idea considering the […]
Read more "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"It’s pretty clear from the start where this web series is going to take place – an office. And with all the renovations that’s been happening at university, there were so many places we could check out, and we did when we went location scouting. From the places we looked into, we thought that a […]
Read more "Office Hours"This past week, our cast was revealed to the rest of the crew and I am beyond happy with it. And massive shoutout to our casting director and director for, not only finding the talent, but also finding and creating a diverse cast. Without getting too into it, but with all the Hollywood ‘white-washing’ that’s […]
Read more "Casting Calls"So I think I’ll discuss our pilot episode for the web series as per the order of this blog post’s title so it can be a positive sandwich where ‘the bad’ is in the middle but it begins and ends more positively. Okay, so after having watched our original cut of the pilot, I didn’t […]
Read more "The Good, The Bad & The Dream"And in sickness and in health, we got it together for the presentation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to present with my group, but I still got a chance to see some of it and I was with them prior to the presentation helping to prepare so I knew what was being said. And since we […]
Read more "For Better Or For Worse"Because we really were trying to get it together in time for our pitch presentation. We met up with the writers and discussed the plan for the presentation and tried to flesh out the vision for the web series. But before we get to that, something that would have helped with the ‘vision’ part of […]
