Well its been a busy few weeks – first of all I had a birthday blahhh – actually it was quite fun – cake, presents (including some book vouchers for my course hurrah) and wine, what more could I ask for really.
I’ve finally got stuck into my Screenwriting course at Napier. Its definitely taken a few weeks before I’ve really starting feeling like a student, but now that I have I’m enjoying it. So far we’ve talked about premise, narrative and the process of Development. At first it seemed to be a LOT of theory (and it is) but its also been quite illuminating – somehow actually hearing certain aspects of the process talked about and discussed has made them much clearer. Its also been good to start getting to know the other students – I’ve mentioned it previously but its seriously good to find everyone so enthusiastic.
Finally got to check out the Student Union Bar too – and not bad it is either. I have a feeling that many a beer will be sunk there before the year is out, especially considering its proximity to the Screen Academy.
