For this term we are going to be doing some research into carers that will eventually lead to us conducting a live interview with a real person that will then allow us to transform the material into a short fictional film. Also, in our second year we'll be doing a similar thing but as part of a brief for the NHS involving issues with mental health sufferers under the age of 25.
Even though the 2nd year is a little while off it's important to begin working on the research now, finding contacts and organizations at this point will improve my ability to write much more realistic characters. By delving into the real world and hearing real stories I'm bound to start developing my own ideas and finding new angles I may want to explore.
Having seen the classes's personal stories in pictures at today's lesson I've come to realize that more often than not real life stories have turning points. An action that results in an emotional reaction.
In class Micheal told us a little story about when he was younger that he would lock everything down into storyboards, shot lists ect... But when he came to do a documentary about a boxer (I think) he didn't really know how the story would end but what happened was that the ending was unexpected and it really helped him change his modus operandi when it came to working on dramas. It sort of gave him a grander sense of freedom when writing.
