an introduction to screenwriting | future learn course

after a university email about future learn, I was reminded of using it during A-levels, and decided to check it out again. I found a course titled 'An Introduction of Screenwriting' which I thought would be useful as I have recently had some ideas for a screenplay, however I had been stuck on how to go about it and how to develop my ideas into narratives and I thought this course could help stimulate ideas/new point of views.

It was a helpful as there were points and ideas that gave me a different way of looking at things and helped to push my concepts further along in my head.
I was introduced to the concept of the five finger pitch & developing scenes & characters.

I think from this point forward I am going to try pay more attention to films and to be more specific the opening.

painting techniques

I couldn't stop thinking about a painting technique, about the use of over-painting and seeing underneath,  that I remembered reading in a Basquiat book I have, however I couldn't remember what it was called. Rather than searching through the pages of the book, i decided to first go to google and ended up finding a lot of other techniques. Repoussoir ☆ it is an object along the right or left of the foreground that directs the viewers eye into the composition by bracketing/framing the edge. ☆  it became popular with Mannerist & Baroque artists and is frequently found in Dutch 17th Century landscape paintings. ☆  Jacob Van Ruisdael often included a tree along one side to enclose the scene. mannerism: known as late renaissance. emerged around 1520 and lasted until around the end of the 16th century italy. baroque: is a highly ornate/extravagant style of architecture, art & music that emerged early 17th century til the late 18th century.  The Je...

books from library

I decided that one of the main things I wanted to do this summer was get more into physical art and painting again after, what was possibly, a year long (or maybe even longer) hiatus.  Other than sketches and a few good painting pieces, I felt like i hadn't really ever developed my style and felt lost in terms of what I wanted to paint and how I wanted to do it, so I knew I needed to find inspiration and look into other works.  Digging through the depths of artists online was difficult, as I found I was redirected to the same few famous artists and I couldn't really find anything visually I liked this way, so I decided to go down the traditional route and go to the library. This way I could find a good base and maybe then go on to research deeper and find other crevices online. There wasn't tons of art books at my local library, but I did manage to find some good books. ____________________________________________________ BOOK ONE I picked up this book as I ...
