now?

been investigating film making. equipment altogether =£4160. but i know you can get the same stuff much cheaper. then its a q. of learning the tech and the skills..in months, i don't have years. he told us how to get actors, and so does m. figgis, also music types. so now apart from locating tech stuff and buying it...we back to scripts. now the screenplays i got so far [not scripts, just syns and lists] are obviously too hard. figgis shows you from his own experience the different problems of the dp, the editor, the sound, music and the director. so now i see that a good story isn't enough, it has to be do-able, have impact. be disciplined so you don't get swamped in footage and above all keep track of things; including good locations etc. so get a number of notebooks for a start!! good job i used to be an acounts clerk, [amazing, isn't it?]...i can keep methodical tracks like anything. i like this!! i shall be doing it from all ends! so anyway i got to concentrate on screenplays now.

but i still got lapidiary to sort out. what a horrible thing it is. its so little, but it inspires giant dislike. its just i know it could be better. so after dinner, and housework, and a bath will look at lapidary. an if i still hate the thing will do the simplest script i can within the new rules or parameters. so will have to put in any bright ideas re locations, sound, shots as i go along..

otherwise i might forget.
