Intro.

Hello, alright, how you doing?

This is an introduction to a blog about everything and nothing. It might interest you, it may not. It will serve as a memory of events that have come and gone, therefore it will be sporadic and it most likely won't make alot of sense.

So, I am a student in my second year at University. I study Scriptwriting for Film and Television. This first post will date back to mid October when we first started our Professional studies.

We were asked to complete three days worth of work for the University mini production team "BUStation". As a writer I thought "Shit, what the f*** am I going to do with that?" But then a friend suggested we join the Soap that had been running called "Hidden". GET IN. To which I calmly decided I would like to contribute to.

On the first day of BUStation we met and had an informal meeting to discuss the parameters and guidelines for the script. It had to be : No more than 3 pages, Contain no obscene or offensive language (But nudity was permitted) and it had to have a character that was "hiding" something .

That was the end of the first day, the concept had been set up and the deadlines set for a first draft. I went home and brainstormed which addictions people are the least proud of, yes there are many that friends of mine like to boast about, so it led me to pinpointing three addictions as unsatisfactory : Smoking, Drinking and Gambling. I guess they all go hand in hand really, however I chose to go down the Gambling route.

There are so many avenues for potential gambling these days I figured this could definetley work in a campus context.So now I had my theme, my hidden USP, I just needed a lead character, a narrative and conflict to inject into the script.

Well that about does it for the first introdcutory post in my blog. I hope I came off alright and not too pretentious, if that is the case then all I can say is "What you gonna do?" It's one of those things. That's mid October done and dusted, nex time I will dive into NOVEMBER where I will talk about CARS . . . FOOTY . . . TITS . . . Nah not really, just more information about a Scriptwriter writing a blog.

Here look at a picture of Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. 

Cheers.
