Try adapting one of the four strategies to help you be more productive.
Since the lecture, I have made an effort to generate my ideas better and to note down whenever an idea comes to my head. Whether I am on the way to the shop or sitting in the front room, I am now writing down, or at least making note of ideas that come into my head. For instance, just this morning, I thought of an idea for a scene which could happen in a cemetry, as I was walking past one. I wrote it on a text message in my phone, saved it to drafts and when I got back I jotted it down on my notepad. So far I have a few ideas for film scenes in various places.
At the moment I seem to be only thinking about horror films (I haven't a clue why, not even a big fan?!) but hopefully as I write more things down, more ideas and more variety of genre will come into my head. This way of capturing ideas will only help me in the future.
As well as this, I took notice of what Jools said in the lecture regarding the 'broadening' strategy and I have been using this since I have come back to Nottingham from the summer break. I have been watching TV programs that at home, I wouldn't have had an interest in watching. The main program I have been glued to is 'Flash Forward', a program on Channel 5.
My housemates have likened it so far to 'Lost' which I don't have an interest in watching whatsoever. However I thought i should watch it as I may have liked it, regardless of what my first thoughts were. After 10 minutes of the first episode, I was hooked and now look forward to every Monday night it is on. I like the way the program is mysterious and gets you hooked to find out what is the cause of such an event and has given me ideas on future work.
I will be looking to challenge myself and take an interest to my surroundings in the coming weeks, just to help me strengthen my ideas and to help me out on the Coursework.
