Today was ok. Not feeling too great though. Enthuasiasm wise.
Was up late last night doing what I was supposed to do, then got up at 7.30 so i could cram in some meeting prep for 9. Then i biked home but forgot to get cash out, so walked to uni, then back home while my clothes were busy getting washed. Then I dragged my clothes down the street to the laundromat to dry them. So much faster and simpler to do then wait for them to dry on the line.
Then walked back, natalie came round we watched 5 episodes of angel to finish of season 3. Something I probably shouldnt have done, as now im so tired and unwilling to work on episode 3. But I must stick to my goals as tomorrow is going to be another night job as I have a dentist appointment and friday and saturday I have work. Then sunday which is the day I hope to be able to fine tune all 6 episodes I forgot that I have mum coming over to spend the day with me on account of it being my birthday the following wednesday. On top of that I have a presentation to do on the tuesday. (something i chose to do because i didnt want it hanging over me on my birthday.) Thus giving me so much to do in so little time.
Why did I choose to do a television series? Other students are doing shortfilms about 15 minutes long. Ok, they have to have polished treatments but still I have to do 6 synopsis of 40 minute long episodes. Character descriptions. Make sure there are character arcs and story arcs and reasons for the audience to want to come back. And that I am able to clearly illustrate how my show should look and feel. Oh and did I mention that each synopsis need to be only a page. Do you know how hard it is to condense everthing that happens into a page and still remain true to the loo and feel. I think my problem is I keep wrtiing in jokes, but then if I dont put in jokes how would they know it was meant to be funny? ARGH!
And lets not forget that weve only really covered treatment writing and not synopsis writing so i keep going into too much detail.
Yesterday I had only written two scenes and it was already a page. Blarg.
OK I am procrastinating, I need to get this done so I can sleep. Then I can get my teeth drilled into tomorrow. Oh thats gonna be fun, and cheap.
Ack im falling asleep must bolster self up more.
