Bleak

"After yesterday's session, Jan, Wenshing and I are so disappointed with your stories that we are arranging a 2nd Chance Pitch session next Monday, 24 Sep, 9am, at the same room (ART 1-2).

Attendance is compulsory.

Each of you will be given 5 minutes to present only ONE story for the Monday session. So, spend the next few days focusing your efforts making your ONE story better.

We have also decided that if any of you fail at this again in the next session, you will not be allowed to turn your story into film during the Digital Film Production shoot. You will instead be a crew member for those with approved stories over the 3 weekends of shooting.

Some things to remember when you work on your idea for Monday:

a. Think about your design and details of your story.

b. Ask yourself who is your main character and how is he/she like.

c. Think of your audience. They are part of your storytelling process.

d. What is your intention for the story? Most of you have vague and ridiculous intentions!! Think MOTIVATION, THEME, REASON, CONFLICT and ultimately WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE? Just spend every moment now thinking about the essence of your storytelling and your message"

This is what was sent to us after yesterday's pitching.....

No mood now......
