While i sit here in the library pretending to study for my environmental science test, i thought i’d knock out a quick blog. Not really anything exciting going on at the moment. I wrote the documentary, but I am not super pleased about it. It was really cool to write, because it is written in double column format, which means the audio directions (i.e. dialogue, sound effects, etc.) are on the right side, and all visual cues are on the left side). It was really sweet to write because I had to learn to use all the abbreviations for certain shots and effects that are actually used in the business. C.U-close up, MS- medium shot, LS – long shot…etc. That may make it hard to read, but whateva. The reason I’m not that pleased with it is because 1. I didn’t have near enough room to write, the length was set at 5-7 pages and that was certainly not enough to include everything done on the infamous New York trip, and 2. I was writing it for a college class which means I couldn’t really use my voice as much as I would of liked not just for bad language or anything like that, but it was a phish concert for pete’s sake so I would of liked to discuss some of the drug use and beer drinking that was going on with many of the patron’s attending the show. Oh well it was a good learning experience and I hope ya’ll like it. I’ll keep in touch e-friends.
