7 Deadly Sins

So! This is the pilot post for Film and TV 1 subject. Woot!

I used to use my RMIT student blog, but unfortunately I can't access it anymore, due to my own fault for not remembering the username. But I DO remember the password, this is unfair! Most people forget password, not username. Right?

Anyway, first week, first lecture, first tutorial. I knew it'd be interesting, that might be one of the reasons why I decided to take the subject. Ever since summer 2008, I feel like Film/TV have piqued my interest.

One of the major assignments was revealed and it's screenwriting. The theme is 7 deadly sins. When the line '7 Deadly Sins' came up, the first thing that came to my mind was of course; wrath, pride, gluttony, envy, lust, greed, sloth.

In the tutorial, we managed to pull out some examples of characters from each sins. Apparently, instead of creating or finding a character based on the literal meaning, there were a lot more of it that we can explore. Like, looking for an unexpected characters who looks normal on daily basis, but actually grasp the essence of those sins which made the characters a little bit more... different and mysterious.

For example, gluttony can be symbolized by a character of a drug-addict mother who's actually living a happy marriage life and raising her 2 kids. Why would she consumes drugs? And this might lead to a list of questions about the character.

I am now working on my one-liner. Crossing my fingers, hope I can belt out a good one!
