Journal 6 - Week of Feb 26th

Not much happened this week in lecture besides having a visiting guest speaker by the name of Laura Marks. There was no assigned reading this week, so instead of trying to come up with something to think and write about, I am going to put a scene of my movie that I am writing in here to see some people's reaction. It is not finished, but it is a scene that I like very much and actually came to me when we were in 201 lecture. It was when Carl was showing the difference between 24 fps to 16 fps. The room was completely dark and the only light was coming from the blank, white frames that he was showing to make us see the difference. Every person in the room looked like a silhouette and so did Carl when he stood up there talking to us. I could see his movement and I could hear his voice, but I couldn't see him. It kinda felt surreal when this was happening. So I developed a scene kind of around this that I have explained. Here is the opening of the scene before the dialogue:

Scene 10:

Knowing that he has to find some answers before he ends up somewhere else unpredicted, Alan sits down and takes a rest. Alan wonders how long it has been since he has actually slept. Time here, where ever here is, does not exist. At least he has come to that conclusion because night can turn to day with the shut of an eye, it could be raining and then around the corner there is sunshine. There is no sense of time, but Alan does know he is tired, so it must mean he hasn't slept in awhile. He slowly rests on the park bench and soon is fast asleep. He then wakes up and already knows he is in a different location. Alan is not surprised, just tired of it all. He looks up and then realizes that this location is familiar to him. He has once been here in the past, but can't put a finger on how he knows it. He slowly gets up because his body is stiff from the uncomfortable sleep and heads in direction of the building he is looking at. He then notices that he had classes in psych here years back. There is a booming voice that he hears from the lecture hall and it is starting to get cold, so he decides to enter the building. Alan starts off towards the entrance, opens the door to darkness and precedes to walk in...

That is a beginning of a scene that I have shared. I wonder if it got people questioning whats next or what not. Anyways time for work, have a great day everyone.
