It's all in the idea

I should just cut and paste this saying, another week! so fast!

This week has brought us a rather strange class with Richard and okward knock knock jokes that seemed to baffle everyone in our class, and cause somewhat alot of confusion. If it wasn't for Murdo wadding in with his optimistic replies I think the strangeness of the situation may have caused my head to implode. I was sitting their convinced I had been drugged, it was all playing on a loop. First time I think I've ever seen a knock knock joke silence an entire class.

I did see the point Richard was making in that you have an understanding of what you are going to get from a knock knock joke, and that if you change the formula you either create something that travels the world or just leaves people sitting rather confused and wondering what just happened. Was a clever antidote even if it was somewhat lost on a few of us to begin with.

I still feel myself struggling to come up with any ideas for short films, I think oh yes now theres an idea. Then on further reflection it occurs to me that its more suited to mediums such a TV. So I feel myself more and more leaning towards writing for TV rather than films and such. I love having more space to play with story arcs instead of getting it all over in the space of 7 minutes, which I feel I struggle with.

Tuesday saw us with Andy and more factual content, these classes always hold interested points and discussions that I can walk away having taken something from the class. I do feel I find it a little harder to engage in these classes as it at its core is about research and getting information from people, thus less creativity involved. Which is no bad thing, but I just feel myself having to push myself that little more to stay engaged. Its all relevant information I will definitely have to use at some point in my future career.

Wednesday saw me being woke up by fire alarms going off and on every two minutes for an hour! *Sigh*
