Film's Cool - Session 1

Telling your story

Today was my first session with Film's Cool. I found it very interesting but different to my normal media lessons.
We had a small lecture from Kate Hardie about generating small ideas into what could possibly become great ideas as well as the writing process/industry.

I learnt when telling a story there is always three main points that may start you off. This being;

• To think of what story is it? Is it a recognisable genre (Comedy, Romantic, Horror) Bring new perspectives to different genres, familiar tales and subjects 
• To know why your writing this particular idea and why its important to you - the Theme. What are you exploring and hoping to communicate from this
• Don't write anything you don't care about!!

From the lecture I learnt and understood a lot more about genre. 'Genre is just a framework the story is important and gets you thinking' by this it will only make the story more interesting and accessible.

Below are a few images from the first Films Cool session.
