Inspiration Week - Blog 1

In the first lesson of "Inspiration Week" we played a short exercise that involved writing one thing on a piece of paper, folding it over and passing it on to somebody else. For my piece of paper, I had to write the name and profession of a Male character. From then on, the piece of paper was passed around the classroom until we finished and it was returned to me so that I could see the story that had been written. 

My first post - Male character and Profession.

The next post was to give a female character and her profession.

The next post was to say how they met.

 

The next post was to give one line of dialogue.

The next post was to explain a major event. 

Lastly, this post was to end the story.

From this story that was created we then had to come up with a synopsis for a short film. We were told that we could alter it slightly if we needed to. 

My synopsis was:

"A police duo began an ordinary evening on duty. That was until they got a call over the radio that would make their night shift a living hell. Will they save the town and go down the pub? Or will this tragedy destroy the whole town?"

From this synopsis, we then had to fill in a sheet relating our story to th

e Todorov concept of equilibrium/disequilibrium. 

And then again, from the synopsis, we were asked to create a table of Binary Opposites conforming to the concept or Levi-Strauss.

Concept	Opposition
Police (Good)	Criminal (Evil)
Human	Animal
Peace	Disturbance
