Vancouver Film School - I Survived TERM 1

In the last six weeks I have been in heaven... I have read, watched, analyzed, talked about and pitched a TON of films. For example:

Some Like it Hot

His Girl Friday

Atonement

My Bloody Valentine

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Working Girl

Big

Maltese Falcon

Sense & Sensability

Bart & Fink

Witness

All About Eve

My Bloody Valentine

Twighlight

Rear Window

Pirates of the Caribbean

Good Will Hunting

Fargo

The Graduate

About a Boy

Broke Back Mountain

Sunset Boulevard

Network

The Hours

Is there rhyme or reason behind these titles? No, not at ALL... Each class was different:

• Script Genre - Comedy
  
• Short Script
• Story
• Character
• Writing Style
• Biz Format
• Short Pitch
• Long Pitch

I can't believe I made it! Stay tuned for next Term...

Starting with Basic Tools - where I get to develop 3 features scripts to pitch, then narrow it down to 2 outlines, of which one will be chosen to take to a treatment stage.

Dialogue - will help me get the words to sound the way people actually talk!

Script Genre: Crime - I can't wait to see what films we will be studying ;P

TV Spec Script - I have already chosen to Spec: Entourage, Mad Men and Californication!

Writing for Animation - maybe, just maybe Chicken Skin will become a animated short ;P

Stay Tuned... xo P.
