Moving onto the serious stuff......I think i am beginning to realise that my personal favourite form of learning is to get a basic story and script in mind, write down a few notes and ideas and then grab the equipment required and get out there. I find that once i get the ball rolling i'm well away, the ideas start flowing, i start elaborating on different ideas, I begin to get feel for what works and what doesn't and before you know it everything begins to fall into place, Ok i might waste some time shooting by not writing out big longs scripts and fancy story boards but i feel like this is a method that works for me. Its almost like a trial and error method. I go out there start doing something, the bits i like i can keep and build on if i wish and those bits i don't like i just throw to the side and continue but all the time whether i'm keeping bits or disposing of bits i'm learning.
Once i got out there yesterday with the camera ideas just kept coming and then when i got home and uploaded the images i was thinking of new ideas and i even found myself lying in bed thinking of new ideas. I have admittedly even found myself at times grabbing a pen and paper and scribbling down a rough idea or thought in the most random situations and times of the day. I was lying in bed last night making notes and then i think it was first thing this morning i woke up grabbed a pen and paper at the side of the bed and started making notes (Yes....that really is how bad its got, i now sleep with a pen and paper next to me!) but truth be-told although its not helping my sleep pattern i'm loving this section of the course.
