Screenwriting 8

April 30, 2013 Kate5 Comments

I was researching for my reflective essay on the screenwriting and I came across a quote that sums up a bad screenplay. I had to share it because it also puts the problems with my dialogue in a nutshell. "Is that your green-eyed blonde younger sister crossing the dual carriageway over there?" From Rib Davies,… Continue reading Screenwriting 8

Open Mic – Chinwag

April 24, 2013April 20, 2013 Kate5 Comments

Well, I did it! I was amazed! I actually got up and told everyone a story. It was a fairly controversial story and at the right moment I got a gasp and then at the end a pause. Only a small pause and then applause. I think I even heard one whoop... At the time… Continue reading Open Mic – Chinwag

I wrote this for a competition, but unfortunately it didn't make it. So I thought I'd share it. If you don't guess from the piece I am a bit of a fan. 🙂 Update 7th October 2013 This piece has been published by Thresholds so please follow the link to view it. Thanks. My piece… Continue reading James Herbert

Screenwriting 7

Step outlines... This was new to me. I'd never heard of it. So I sat expectantly wondering what I was going to find and really hoping it would only be a list of scenes. And actually it is just a list of scenes... and... a brief description. Had to be really. A list of scenes… Continue reading Screenwriting 7

Guest Writer – Rhian Edwards

April 21, 2013April 20, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Rhian Edwards came and gave a lecture on poetry at Trinity Saint David, Lampeter, last Wednesday. Now I am not one for the poetry but this lecture blew me away. It began fairly normally enough with Rhian running through poetry performance and how to find out where to do it. It was interesting and helpful.… Continue reading Guest Writer – Rhian Edwards

Screenwriting 6

So, I managed to hand in three-quarters of the completed script (my lecturer had asked for the lot but it had been a little too much work). I gave it to him and then spent a nail-biting week waiting for the verdict... I shouldn't have worried. The verdict was - clumsy in some areas but… Continue reading Screenwriting 6

Inspiration

April 9, 2013 KateLeave a comment

This is just a short post. You see I was watching a movie last night, I won't say which one as it is meant to be brilliant and I turned it off as I didn't like it at all. Anyway, I turned it off and started to flick through channels. And what I found was… Continue reading Inspiration

Guest Writer – Nigel Rodenhurst

April 3, 2013 KateLeave a comment

On the 27th of March Nigel Rodenhurst came into Trinity Saint David, the Lampeter campus, to talk about his work. When I heard he was talking I thought, "Strange the man running the student support in uni has the same name." But I shrugged and thought nothing of it. Then on the 27th as I sat… Continue reading Guest Writer – Nigel Rodenhurst

Screenwriting 5

April 1, 2013 KateLeave a comment

Hope you all had a really good Easter. I have been working on the script but it hasn't been easy. It is all a matter of plot and subplot and all the intricacies in-between. My lecturer at the beginning of the module had said, "Work out your plot and then write it." And being just… Continue reading Screenwriting 5
