Sitting here at my table with my can of Coke trying to keep my brain alive while I figure out how I want to write my documentary treatment and structure.

Am suppose to have this ready by Tuesday 5pm. And then present this to my lecturer (and his exective producers) at his company on Thursday morning like a real pitch. Gee I wonder why can’t we just present this in school.

After the last drama script, I’ve learnt that churning out ideas and writing the script itself is seriously tough work (especially when you have to cut out your “clever lines” ‘coz there’s not enough time for that. *sob*). But now I think documentary is even harder coz I can’t just make up stuff whenever I find a gap that needs to be filled. Everything has to be backed by Research. Research = headaches. Fiction = bullshit and make up stuff, makes brain happy. I prefer the latter. smiley

I guess the only parts I really like is the point where I finally find a great idea to start with, and the end point when the final product is completed. Everything in between is just a whole lot of brain trauma.

And there’s always the itch to actually realise the script into an actual video/show. smiley Which I think would be quite difficult right now. My drama needs good child actors, my documentary needs big ass budget to fly me to NYC. lol.

But it’d be so great. And I can always dream.

now, back to my work. smiley

p/s: how ironic that to take a break from writing the docu proposal, I come here to write on my blog, before getting back to writing more for the assignment. 0_o
