Three Weeks In

And already I'm in way over my head

Okay maybe I'm being melodramatic but I'll leave it up to you guys to decide....? ?

Week One: When I arrivethere were people every where.(alot of ****s were starting that night)

And I couldn't see (literally cause I forgot my glasses which i don't really wear alot but should) anyone I knew. So i was just sort of walking around the foyer trying to amuse myself when a teacher called for all the Camera students. So me and about 13 people step forward rather sheepishly.

He tells us to follow him. We walk through the foyer, he sits us down and introduces himself (he isn't famous) and tell us he'll be teaching us for the next 8 weeks. He then goes in to a rant about the stuff he's done. After about 10 mins and a set of hand outs he tells us that tonight he is going to take each of us individually into thestudio and work with us for 5 mins thenafter we all have a turn alone with him theneveryonewill come in and we'llall discuss what happened.When it isn't your go you just have to talk amongst yourselves.

We spent the better part of 2 hours just talking and getting to know each other. Everyone in my ****is really nice our ages run from 20-35 and we all seem to get on really well. We joked about it being like this on set where you film for 5 min and thenspend the rest of the time just waiting and hanging out.It was fun and took everyones minds off what sort of torture he was putting each of us through in that studio.

Then it was my turn! Lucky last!

I followed him downto the studio before entering he stoppedme he told me that I had lost my diary hesaid it held all my secrets and that if found byanyone but me thewhole world wouldknow everything about me, whoI like don't likeect.In short the diary is important, and i lost it inthst room, where I will go in to find it but before i find it I mustcircle the curtains twice look behind the green bored then the white bored and then on the table where I willfind the diary and then leave the room. Pretty simple right!!we had to do the exercise twice (I thought it was to see if we could remember how wedid it the first time andreplicate that. I was wrong!!!)

So after feeling a bit likea monkey being forced to dance

My turn was over and we all came in to watch what everyone had done. Boring right watching ppl do the exact same thing over and over well it wasn't that boring it was interesting to see some ppl had forgotten the instruction and everyone had their own take on what important meant and some ppl over acted and some under acted some ppl looked like deer caught in head lights and some were actually pretty good the painful part was listening to everyone talk about the way you did yours!! oh and the whole watching yourself on camera it's really distracting it's like what am i doing thats stupid why is my face doing that or why did i wear that it's so bright and it goes on. So i announced that i hated mine and you know thought i looked stupid and unbelievable to my shock everyone said they really liked mine.

So YAY!!! So I left ****the first night doing

Week Two: I arrived still on a high from my awesome performance first week

But trying hard not to let it go to my head as it was just an exercise.

So second ****our teacher gave us each an 8 line script and we had to make up a story about what had happened previously and the relationship between the characters? and what our character wanted? and what was in the way of them getting what they want? so we each spent 15 mins writing our stories.

My story was about Best friends who had had a fight Sam had called Alex a wet blanket and Alex had called Sam an alcoholic and a tramp, so Sam had flirted and dirty danced with the guy Alex likes and Alex had left in the morning she duck taped a note to Sam's forehead saying they needed to talk!!

Then we all chose a partner and went outside, I teamed up with a girl in my ****(she worked as an AD on Sea Patrol (TV Show it's good you should watch Aussies ch9 thurs)she picked me!!) so we talked and rehearsed until it was our turn.

Our turn came and we had spent so much time laughing that we had the giggles the whole way through she had about 6 takes because we were laughing or we stuffed up the lines.

So after we got her take I did mine..... In one take!!!

So i was dancing again as I left ****cause one take!! and i asked the teacher if he was happy and he said yes so YAY!!!

Week Three: We watched our videos (again I hate watching myself). It also seemed like everyone got over there need to be nice cause everyone was paying out everyone else's video's and there choices and it was like our teacher had lead us all to the slaughter

It was harsh everyone ripped each other to shreds so we had to do them again!! This time I wasn't laughing my way through it!!

So we did it live for the ****and everyone liked mine and my partners (we went first) and they liked everyones. Their were comments here and there and some people did it again but it was mostly positive stuff.

Next week we have to prepare a 5 min scene so we can shoot it next ****

I chose one from "DOGMA" I love that movie

But I'm really nervous about what everyone will say and I'm not use to having to do so much on my own I liked my other ****cause we work shopped things in this it's like he gives us stuff we do it everyone rips it to shreds and then we do it again and he never really gives you any advice. I'm Really freaking out!!!

That's all from me...I will update after next ****!
