As I was reminded in my last tutorial appointment, I should really take advantage of the current situation I find myself in where I have literally bugger all to do until Mike shoots his film next month by conducting all my research for my essay now so that i'm fully prepared for my essay. Makes total and utter logical sense but getting the motivation has been a little difficult. What with me living with undergrads, they are all finishing exams and moving out so realising I won't be living with these guys while celebrating leaving is sort of acting as a distraction. Today though, I had a bit of a brain melt down so I ended up going to bed stupidly early and that didn't last long but suddenly, I found myself willing to do work to act as a distraction. It was amazing, I somehow googled an extremely simple phrase and got all the answers I needed. I found films that dealt with stories telling different perspectives, books too and even reminded myself of one of my favourite plays that I read as a kid at school that told the story of one woman through different peoples encounters with her.
An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestly was also made in to a film starring Alastair Simm which I also loved so I have now set out to find a copy of it. An other film I found is called Vantage Point which tells the same story about 6 or 7 times, each time from a different characters point of view. By watching these films, hopefully I'll have an idea about how to go about what i'm aiming to do and maybe even think about merging my characters viewpoints in to one film like Vantage point. There is still a lot of thinking that is required regarding my project though, so I'll watch these films and update the blog. Tomorrow I think I will also attempt at finding books about telling stories in this sort of style. Anyway, the fact I managed to finish three blog posts shows my current dedication level. I should have breakdowns more often! :D
