We have mostly first years participating and many of them are new to the field, many have not handled a camera nor attempted at writing a script. We decided the first few sessions should focus on scriptwriting as then the members can work away on them while we start the camera and editing tutorials in later weeks.
For the inaugural session I prepared a presentation using clips from films I've made and other student films too, and then progressing through story structures, characters, format on the page and knowing what a script does and does not do.
I spoke with some fluidity but felt limited in desired movement by the constraints of the teaching equipment. I had to remain standing behind a desk the entire time because I had to control the presentation in hand with speaking.
Next week we hope to have more members participate as this week's only had seven members, however that may have been due to the little promotion we gave that first session.
