full length fail
Film 151 (Scriptwriting) under Mr. Herras (Lambanog, Rekados, Manghuhula) is compared to a road trip and the destination is Quiapo. Based on Ricky Lee's book Trip to Quiapo. In Quiapo, we are promised to find our world view.
There's nothing quite like the experience (writing my first quasi-full length script). From the day I pitched my concept, I 've been thinking about what will happen to the story. When I'm on a jeep, on the shower, on other classes. I always had a paper where I kept drafting what will happen to the characters I'm making. I always imagined what they would look like, what they will be doing in my head. Every week I would revise and I seem to be going nowhere until the pressure was on to submit it in a few days. My car (which is my PC) actually broke down a few hours before the submission. I had to do a lot of things all over again.
It was never an easy journey and there are some things that I realized:
1. I can write which will bring us to the conclusion that anybody can write. I always told myself that I cannot write literary/creative shit. I can rant pretty well. or write school papers but the creative writing thing. Not for me. Although I know I can do it. But not as good as some people can and nor will I ever be. It's simply not my niche. Maybe in the future if I ever I get into serious film making, I'll get someone to do the writing for me.
2. I brought too much stuff on the trip. I wanted so many things for my script. I wanted it to be me. I wanted it to be conceptual. I wanted it to have substance. I wanted it to look visually pleasing. There was so many things I want the script to be that it kind of ended up being empty. (but I still believe there's something in there lol). I was trained in a lot of visual aspects that I can't think much of the script as a story. I prioritized it being a visual fountain (which is wrong I know! lol. but I really believe there's something in there lol.)
3. There's thrill in writing. New ideas that I think will work for what I'm writing excited me. I like the sensation whenever a new idea comes along and I put it into writing.
4. I discovered more about myself and what I want to do in film.
In the near future, I'd like to do a script without the pressure of deadlines and stuff. That'd be cool.
My story had a lot of inspiration on loneliness, vulnerability and insignificance.
Here are some photographs that I like with the same themes.
Ville Varumo creates a slew of dark, isolated images that puts your life into an uncomfortable perspective. He does all of this without even showing anything remotely melancholic. Instead, by using the frame to its full potential, playing with dark, drab lighting and creating a sad connotation through the body language expressed in his subjects, he’s able to extract some powerful - and possibly undesired - emotions.
Chris Anthony's Venice series features a variety of suited beings whose purpose and function are unknown. Looking like they belong in the circus, Chris isolates them against a cool, stormy waterfront where their size and placement creates a feeling of insignificance and vulnerability.
