Ideas ideas ideas

So Christine talked about the components of drama and fiction films and if there are any differences between fiction or documentary. I say its a little of everything - and that's the issue.

One of the things I dislike the most is by coming up with fresh new ideas. I've realised as when it comes to idea giving I'm hopeless, however when it concerns idea enhancing; I'm your man. This is really a bad habit as I start to become more lazy. Despite that, at the end of the day, I'll still have to face it so heres mine;

"One of the most common quotes used when preparing for an interview would be “first impression counts”. Having said that, one would go through various preparations to look good for the interview - hair done, plenty of sleep and the list goes on. The question is, has anyone emphasized on the power of posture? To be specific; body posture.

This got me thinking of the art of body posture where different postures helps emphasize on specific ways of persuasion. I’m interested in finding out the psychological reasons behind an individual’s mind when meeting someone else with a bad/good body posture. The documentary would question on the first impressions made from an individual just by looking at them - slouching = lazy?"

TV Part 2

A new semester begins, new subjects, new goals, and not to mention new experiences. Attending today's lecture was rather refreshing as I saw some new faces and some familiar faces.The exhaustion from TV1 still lingers in me as it was a crazy period. Never the less, practice makes perfect. 

We watched a doco made by a student entitled "The Nest". It was quite an interesting one because the visual focus was more on the disabled kid, but I realised that the focus of the story was more to the brothers trying to cope their lives with their disabled brother. 

All these years I've been trying to convince myself that documentary is one of the things that I would make a career out of. Lets just see how its this sem goes now shall we?
