Issue #170 – Apprentices in Action
by L. Swift and Jeff McQ
Film Connection student Brenden Pursell (Chicago, IL) has been busy! “Earlier this month, I helped my mentor shoot eighteen live music videos in one day. This is an event that my mentor hosts in St. Louis on Cherokee Street called “Lo-Fi Cherokee”…Each video is shot in a different location on Cherokee. We started the day at 8 a.m. and went to 8 p.m.…The plan was to change locations every half hour, which we were somehow actually able to pull off because there were three different sound engineers that rotated out every three performances. By doing this, each engineer could arrive an hour early to their location and set up the sound. So all that my mentor and the team that he hired had to do was simply go to each location and shoot the video. Although I was only a production assistant, I was glad for it because I was able to see how a film set worked and how each and every role, no matter what the role, was important to the making of each video.”
Film Connection student Jessica Wise (Lexington, KY) found a recent writing assignment very illuminating! She says, “My exchanges with my screenwriting mentor have been very encouraging! After sending my film treatment to him, Brad suggested I do a scene breakdown of the first fifteen scenes of my film. It was a very daunting task because I had never done one before and was still uncertain about so many details in my story. Surprisingly, once I actually sat down and started writing, the story came naturally to me. I think I have a habit of over-thinking things so it causes me to procrastinate. But once I had the determination to just start writing, the story took on a life of its own.”
