Screenwriting. Is. AMAZING!

Wow.  Haven't posted in a while.  But as I mentioned in my last post, I am now in screenwriting class! And it is fun already!

The first day (yesterday) we played the chair game, in which we have to get up from our chair when we agree with the statement being read. It sounds boring, but it's actually pretty fun, and you get to see how many people agree with you on things. After that, we watched a creepy short film called Tell Tale which freaked out the entire screenwriting group (myself included). What a nice way to end the day!

Today was the second day, and things were a bit different. We didn't watch a short film, but we read a short screenplay and practiced giving polite, but constructive criticism. The reason we did this is because some students are going to share their screenplays with the whole class.

My teacher had asked yesterday who wanted to do this and I had raised my hand along with a bunch of other people. And today she was saying that we wouldn't be able to read everyone's screenplays so raise your hand if you really really want to do this. I still raised my hand, along with a bunch of people.

I didn't want to prevent anyone else from sharing, so I normally wouldn't do something like that. But screenwriting is very important to me. And at the end of the last cycle of screenwriting, only two people that I know of read my screenplay and I really want more people to know about it.

Sometimes I think that people just don't care. I really thought more than two people would read my screenplay. But that didn't happen. I almost feel bad for wanting to share my piece with the whole class when they would probably care more about some other screenplay. But I really want to do this. So I will, for once. I hope things work out, but no matter what, I'm in SCREENWRITING!!! Which means things really can't be that bad.
