Week Seven Reflections!

Posted by derelictz on December 4, 2006

In this week’s lesson, we discussed the differences between a memory and an experience. We also watched a local short film titled “Autograph Book” by Wee Li Lin, which can be found in the compilation “Singapore Shorts”. We then discussed the function of dialogue in the above film, before Ryan started the slideshow filled with notes on dialogue. Once again, I was overwhelmed by what dialogue can do and what impact it can create. The purpose of dialogue in a film can be so extraordinary, and proposes to me the fact that screenwriting is getting more difficult by the week! You can find all the aforementioned references in my notes here.

Well, I figured that perhaps I should change the style and contents of my reflections, and I hope this new approach will seem more appealing to most of you. In fact, as an incentive (I hope Ryan does not mind), I will be posting a few pictures every week (if I can) to share with you people. Now, my blog will become a photo-blog of sorts.

I went around campus shooting some landscape pictures on Wednesday, while waiting for my beloved to finish her classes. Two whole hours of her brother’s D50 in my hands proved to be quite heavenly. The sky and cloud formations were really gorgeous and I embarked on a “tour” around the school compound. I even bumped into Ryan twice in an hour or less. Well, I have digressed.

Here are 2 of the photos I shot in school last Wednesday.

    Was your incentive successful? Did the increased number of hits cause the server to collapse under the increased weight of traffic.

    Even if it wasn’t a useful sales ploy, I like the way you started to incorporate pictures into the blog.
