What i've learnt

I told my members about my idea, and all of them said it’s alright, and Ripina gave vety good comment she said “I think the most important is how to make the script is fun and meaningful. It doesn’t base on scripts so much” and yes I agreed with her. So yeah we will waiting of Toula response, and if we have can we will start shooting in 3 or 4 of April.
Also I read the book of “ Filmmaking for Teens “, at the beginning of the book its said that there is a lot of rule to make a movie but rules are meant to be broken, because of practicalities or unforseen obstacle, so you need to handle of your own movie, which is mean more power to you. Through this I acknowledged that making movie not going to be easy, and even there are suggestion to make a movie, it all depends on us, we can decide which one going to be good or not for our movie.
Other important things are 6 keys to getting your film finished,
1. Make a five minute film
2. Have a completed script before shooting
3. Be a slash ( writer/ director/ producer/ editor)
4. Go digital
5. Use the three day shooting schedule
6. Edit on a deadline
For me, I don’t really thinking about the second till the sixth keys now, but I really underline the first thing, which is make a five minute film, alright but why five, also this is like what Toula wants for our campaign. Five minutes? Keep thinking about that, and through this book its explain that in five minutes you can tell simple story such as, going to your locker for your books, making bowl of ramen, and etc. In five minutes you can show people something unique, you can communicate a lot what you think and who you are, and you can get it finished.
The message is long story is not that necessary, it depends on the way you give the message to your audience, simpler, attractive and short that is the keys.
Also, in the class Toula showed one of the short movie called “ Green Porno” by Isabella Rossellini. This short movie showed simple way to attract audience by the Title and the story about. Isabella was great, she knows what most of the people interesting, “ Sex “, but it is not between human, but its for insects such as , spider, bees, snails, etc. This movie is very short, simple, but unique. I really like and it is good example to make an attractive short movie.
