As I walk into the SVA building for the first time, show my card to the guard and press 8 in the elevator for the Short Film program, I begin to wonder what the hell I'm doing here...
The elevator goes up slowly as I am filled with questions. What is this place? What am I doing here? Do I belong here? Is this worth the money? Will I gain anything? And the biggest question I had, which has been hovering over my hear for years, am I an Artist?
We had 3 classes so far that cleared up some of my anxieties. We had Screenwriting with our professor Michael, our Project class with our Chair Bob Giraldi, and Film Criticism with Amresh. Our first assignment was handed to us before we even started - a one-minute short film that will be made in three weeks. Not too complicated, but insanely vague. Everyone wants to have a good project, How do you make it happen? what makes something good?
As for our thesis film, we're given the option to either write out own screenplay or to use someone else's... I'm pretty sure I want to write me own. But the more I sit in this chair, the more difficult I think this will be...
