Tutorial 2.

So, I am currently home alone on a Thursday night. Unintentionally, I skipped school with an MC because I was having a bad diarrhoea and I felt slightly feverish. My mum brought me to the nearest polyclinic to get the medicines because by then I was tired of “doing business”. Trust me, going back and forth to the toilet when I feel all dizzy was not very nice. Thank god, the medicine helped me ease my pain and stopped me from “making anymore business”. Phew! Okay okay, maybe I should not be talking about this. It is quite boring, I must say. The weekends are near but I do not feel hyped up about it in anyway. I think I started off the new month badly. Ooh anyway, Deepavali is coming and we do not have to class! But on the not so bright side, Miss Hong, our Studio Production lecturer insist that we have make up tutorials which I think should be okay despite having to stay a little bit longer because she will be dividing the class into smaller groups and only taking about an hour or so for each tutorial group.

Oh dear, my entry is so random and boring. Ergh. See I am starting the new month badly. My brain’s juices are dried up and intoxicated. Gee, I need to get my mojo back.

See you all in class soon. Take care!

HERE’S WHAT WE LEARNT:

Conflict is the central feature of the screenplay:
•    man against man
•    man against environment (nature, mind-torturing, eg Panic Room)
•    man against self

It’s variation of sex, age, religion and culture which provide variety to conflict.

Conflict = change

•    Change is common to everyone.
•    Change is universal!!!
•    Seasons change
•    Lives change
•    EVERYTHING CHANGE!!!!!

Oh, a plot cannot be constructed without a conflict. I believe a conflict makes  a story better. It adds the little thrill in the storyline. When the characters attempts to reach their goals, they’ll come into conflict. The end of the story nears when the protagonist and antagonist approach their goals and the conflict rises to generate maximum suspense and excitement. There could a twist in stories where people will be awed by how the story surprise them at the end.

Where do you look for a story?
- inside yourself
- Everything to learn about other people is already in you.

I agree with the first point. The easiest and fastest way to find a story is to look inside yourself. Each and every one of us has our own story. It can either be personal or not. It all lies with the person.
