Yippie!!! Script Writing






When I saw the list of modules for selection this semester and saw Script Writing among the list I was very excited. Excited, not because I'm good at it but because I want to be good at it learning the skill of script writing will help in all areas of my work as a journalist. I believe that if I had known the skills for script writing when doing Comm. Studio 3 I would have done a better job with my photo novel. Script writing class thus far has been engaging and I believe I am well on my way to improving with my scripts. I look forward to sharing more on my journey of changing the world through my writings.

Genres



 Miss came prepared to class on January 22,2013 with a colourful powerpoint presentation that depicted and explained several genres in film. The class was lively has students recalled various films that  they had seen and applied them to the lesson being taught. According to the the power point presentation a film genre is a recognizable type of movie, characterized by certain pre-established conventions.

I was blown away by how many movies miss has watched, I guess when you have an interest in something you have to give it your full full attention. I enjoyed this class and I learned many new concepts that I wasn't aware of previously and it gave me a new perspective so the next time I watch a movie I will be watching more intently.
