back at school
so ive been back at school for a few days and i just started classes yesterday.
I'm taking Spanish 1 (the professor speaks all in Spanish and makes me wanna scream "Ay Caramba!" since I've never taken Spanish in my life), Physical Science (soooo boring!), Film Adaptation (mad books for that class, but it should be interesting), Intro to Film Production (i'll get to that in a sec...its crazy...), Introduction to Mass Media (it's like a history of media class which I'll be going to in a half hour actually so we'll see how that goes), and I have to be an usher at one of the Drama Department shows for my drama minor.
But, back to film production. That class is gonna drive me crazy, seeing as video production last semester stressed me out hardcore, this is gonna be worse just because we are using actual black and white film with these cameras that were used wayyy back in the day...
I mean I wanna be a filmmaker and I love writing and directing (which I am gonna be doing a lot of this semester). But, what stresses me out about film is that there is no sound. We have to visually tell a story without any dialogue or music or anything like that.
So far, in my tv/film education, I've always felt so much stronger with my dialogue in a piece I create. I'm less confident with what I shoot... the visual aspect of the product.
In my head, when I become a documentary filmmaker (and hopefully an occasional fictional filmmaker), I'll hire someone to work the camera while I craft the concept and write the dialogue (if its not a documentary). But, I still have to perfect it... Luckily, this class will help... I hope.
It's good to see my college friends again and to go back to our usual craziness. But, its gonna be a stressful semester.
I'm still president of the Gay-Straight Alliance and we are doing so much stuff this semester (including a mock gay wedding and the drag show...).
Between that and writing/shooting for film production as well as doing work for my other classes (which aren't exactly going to be a piece of cake) and wanting to work out every day to lose weight, its gonna be stress.
but last semester was pretty stressful and i got through it, so i can do it again.
im just not looking forward to it.
