@ Amusing Musings

Inspired by real events.

How my story idea came about I’ve wanted to explore the idea of transient relationships, particularly around the idea of divorce since 8/11 of my closest friends (whether coincidentally or not since the rate is getting higher in our society) have parents who were divorced. More often than not, the decision to separate stem from Read more →

1st assignment - logline/idea

Ken Ng

@ Ken Ng

Hi Sebastian. I would like to introduce two ideas that I have. One I am rejecting, the other one I am keeping.

Idea #1 (The rejected idea.)

Logline: A university professor loses her voice and tries to find a voiceover artist to help her do her job.

More details/ plot: A university prof, Wendy, has a stutter. She takes drugs to have it under control, but Read more →

Dear Ken, you are probably right, that the idea #1 will take to much time to tell.   Idea #2 is just the setting of a story - not a real idea yet. The conflict between Tracy and Regina is not strong enough. What is the escalation of the story (rising conflict, something is really at stake)? I give you an example: Tracy and Regina work in the same company and eat every day together. Today is the last time since Tracey (option 1) wants to leave the company, (option 2) will die soon (cancer), (option 3) has found a man she wants to share her lunch (and probably more) with. Regina is really upset and refuses. She tries by all means - that includes really bad/ manipulative  things - that they will continue their lunch. Find a real solution of the conflict in the end (positive or negative). The eating together setting is really a nice one. So pls continue on your idea/ story.  

One Favourite: "The Fall"

@ Ken Ng

Today Prof Sebastian asked us for our favourite movie.

I don’t really have one. But here’s one: “The Fall” (2006, dir. Tarsem Singh).

The beginning is in slow motion, black and white, set to classical music. Forgot what piece it was.

[Spoiler alert]

So the main character played by Lee Pace has an accident and has to stay in a hospital place. A girl Read more →

Favourite movie - The Help

@ DEE's

The Help.

A narrative about the racial discrimination between the blacks and whites in America, specifically the domestic helpers.

The story is what really moves me as well as how the shots were made to elevate the story of the help and their struggles.
