Not having the internet at home makes updating a blog a difficult process, always forgetting to update in the rush home after lectures. weeks can go past it seems. Over the last few weeks as a group we have been breaking down scripts in the view of a director, describing the overall scene action, seperating the scene into units to help understand instructions to actors, and motives for characters. A difficult process it appears, a lot of misunderstandings and opinions change the same script into different ideas. What one person understands is different to another.
I have attempted in previous years to achieve the same understanding of films breaking down a finished project to understand character motives and plot themes, trying to correctly understand the message of a film just from watching it. This is different, now we attempt to give meaning to a script, to create the message and understanding, to give life to words on paper.
The directors vision, does it match the writers ideal?
does it matter in the end?
probably.
But again I find that I care less for this side of film and television, as my thoughts revolve only around the editing project we are working on in another class. trying to prove myself as a director in directing class seems pointless when my aim is post production, but understanding the content of vision is still important.
when it is complete I will upload it to this blog for perusal.
cheers.
