Favorite Film
There are a couple of films that turned my attention to scriptwriting, especially Vertigo with Jimmy Stewart, that film is just amazing at captivating your attention and holding on, the twist and turns of the story keep the film fresh while building momentum for an incredible ending that left me breathless. The setting of the story, San Fransisco is also fundamental to the story's success, providing places that make the scenes come alive. Make sure to check that film out, and have a notebook handy for notes. One of my favorite films, for sure.
Aspirations
I currently don't have a job besides working with my father in the summer, when I'm in need for money I sell some of my unwanted stuff on ebay or freelance write. I am realistic, I will probably not write a blockbuster by tomorrow, I mostly like writing dramas not hard on a sexual level but of life's perspectives and our humble hard lives. I am having a hard time just writing the scene, not the speaking of the characters but whats going on, the action. I don't know why, but it sucks.
About me
I am a student, I have writen about 100 possible stories to make into scripts, today I wrote a good one that I have determined to turn into a script, by the way I love to use Microsoft's One Note its simply the best tool to organize thoughts and very simplistic to write in. I brought a laptop to write on the go, but I have realized that I love to sit down on my desktop write, the laptop is just sitting there, but I do use it when I am on the go or when I get a quick idea, I just power it on and start writing or for some quick research. I am sorry for the way I write if any of you don't like it, but I will write from the heart, that is what i proposed to my self, just write and edit later, but in this blog I will mostly not edit, so I am sorry for that. This blog is going to be a thought machine. so enjoy.
My first post, here we go
Hi, I'm a struggling writer, scriptwriter that is, I attend an online college and that is a great advantage for any aspiring writer. I have some time to write once I finish my studies, or I sometimes just write. Anyway this is going to be a blog about my struggle to write screenplays, I hope anyone that reads this blog gets inspired to just write. By the way Gstudent stands for GoogleStudent, not something else. Good.
