Officers Club Time Travel D21 (07/11/2013)

This is very unique but yet most common thought of mine which transformed into a exciting dream. I was dreaming of how under influence we the Officers Club enjoy the flavor and effect so much that one day we invent the Time Machine and travel back in time only to enjoy the stuff with the medival or the primitive people. Spend the days just by lazing around and enjoyinh the stuff.

Then this thought lead to another thought that people like whom travelled back in time must have left some clues or hardware or technically advanced equipment which in return might have helped those people living in prehistoric era to advance. This effect seemed like a cycle of tecnology exchange.

Then i remembered that this thought was sprout when i was thinking about a movie which was a comedy on primitive people. The lead characer wears spec's and tries to convince his tribe to advance in technology and common sense but they dont encourage him.

Future Transformers D22 (07/11/2013)

This was dangerously horrific dream that i had to wake up middle of the night and think about it. Before writing what is my thought, the dream itself is:

Some girl whom i dont remember as she is stranger. Thats the reason i didnt see her face. But she was telling me and a boy beside me not to go into the darkness on the terrace just a few steps away. This looked more like a terrace which i used to play during my childhood right behind my house. But then the darkness revealed a breath taking visuals of light rays and all of the sudden we were in a huge cave inside a mountain. Which my conscious suggested to be a volcano and also my mind traced the origins of this visual which i have seen just a day ago. Here it is:
So then my mind started creating stories like a boy walks into a Volcano into a huge cave and sheer darkness. Then he turns from behind him glows two blue sharp laser lights like that of eyes of a Decepticon in transformers movie. Then with full power sucks the boy into its mouth. Boy just flys backwards like that of a Paranormal Activity movie into the Decepticon. Everything so horrific that i started thinking that just like how WWZ movie was made like a horrer/thriller than like a b-grade blood/gore movie, transformers will also evolve from a kids movie to a more dark, more powerful, more horrific and more terrorizing movie franchise. I thought this would be something like a 10th sequel to the Transformers. Dont believe it, well dont forget that its a dream.

Phobic D20 (06/28/2013)

This morning i woke up and barely remembered a dream. I was driving my BMW528Xi with my wife on my side. It was a sports ground. Like Automobile sports. I was one of the participant and i had a inclined ramp in front of me with little space for me to steer with all the crowd cheering around us. Poeple were even cross the path i approached very slowly towards the ramp. I tried to position my car in a such way i accelerate with speed and get onto the ramp but took two three mins to do that. Finally i found a good position and accelerated up the ramp and the ramp was made of wooden floor and iron fencing. I tried to steer carfully through the ramp/bridge which would lead me to an unknown place which iam not aware of.

Then my acceleration got out of control and my car hit the fence and got shaked up really well and then front right tire slipped and lost its traction on the bridge and pulled the rest of the car into the valley. I didnt even know what was down there if at all we were going to fall down. Then my car rolled over but i dont know how but myself and my wife were standing outside the car now and wathcing our car rolled and falling into the valley which was some kind of a dam with water gussing through the pipes in a confined region. Our car fell from the bridge into the gussing water. It dipped deep and then rose above. We would now able to see the water filling up inside tha car and then it drowned.

Series of Unexpected Events - D19 (06/21/2013)

I was fighting with a guy on the hill side at night. This was in India. He was having a pistol in his hand but i somehow managed to get hold of it. I was trying to shoot him but i was not able to do so. He fell on the ground and i shot him in the chest. No sound no much drama as we see in movies. its over. Now i have to cover this up somehow. His mother was waiting for him and i know i fucked it up really good. I cut it and then walked on the typical old style indian city streets. Then went into a house proposedly my house or the victim's? I was not sure. Though i vaguely remember i think i also shot another person and was trying to cover up. I also remember packing in a cardbox of size of a shoe box. I stopped smoking the day before this dream and this dream was dangerously violent. Any connection? Is it Possible? Should figure out.

D18(03/31/2013)

I was living with friends. Both girls and boys. All new to me so i kept it to myself most of the time. One of my good friend who usually always fights with me and i tease him is also living in the same house. Others didnt know that we are friends. One day a guy was explaining an incident at his workplace just to pass time in the evening. I joined late in conversation so i asked what was it about. He started explaining from the beginning and he asked a question while he was telling narrating that incident. He said we usually have interest to know other people, right? for which i answered hell no. I told him i never waste my time in knowing others life unless and until they are really interesting personalities. Everyone laughed and some took it seriously and some got offended.
Then this friend of mine walked in here and there with his typical historical walk and style. Then i was not able to control the laughter so i exploded laughing. He too started laughing and everyone asked do we know each other and we said yes.
Next i remember is that i was driving with my wife in my car which i bought recently. It was a highway and all of the sudden i hear some strange noise inside the car like a mechanical problem. Except the accelerator nothing was working and we were at high speeds. This scared the shit out of me and only option i got was to pull the hand break. But it would be risky so i slowed for sometime then found a good place to stop on the curbside of the highway then pulled the break. It worked fine but i dont know how it happened we got off the highway drifting through the grass and onto the streets which resembled me of typical Hyderabadi Indian Streets.
Finally after a great difficulty i stopped the car but it eventually landed on another car but then i tried to get it off and tried to park my car beside the other car i ruined. Then i got off the car looked around it. Car's trunk/back side had huge dents on it and also the front bumper. Inside of the car was wet and muddy due to the grassy slope we drove by while getting of the highway.

From Fun to Frustration D17(02/21/2013)

I was walking here and there in an apartment intoxicated. I was not feeling anything and felt completely normal in the beginning. Later slowly i was experiencing some hallucinations, then my friend tall walked in and was asking me some questions for which i was not able to give answers properly. He was asking me to go out with him or something like that. I was requesting not to ask me anything or expect me to come out. Another friend from behind was telling this guy not to disturb me. But i was now trying to pretend that nothing is wrong with me. But deep inside i know that there is something wrong. Initially i was actually telling myself that i am ok and fine. But later i realized that i was on a trip.

Bullet Points - Check List

1. Maintain the Emotion throughout the Story
2. Develop the story in different levels.
    a. Plot Level
    b. Pschyological Level
    c. Political Level
    d. Mythological Level
3. Stories may not agree with each other, most of the times they may contradict with each other. Use this as conflicts between the Characters, Scenes and the Story itself.
4. Use camera as a pen to describe :
    a. Emotion of the characters
    b. Pace of the Plot
    c. Genre of the Story
    d. Treatment of the Subject of the Story
5. Identify the purpose and contribution of these following aspects to the Story:
    a. Each Episode to the Plot
    b. Each Scene to the Story
    c. Each Character to the Story
    d. Each Shot to the Screenplay
    e. Each Frame to the Screenplay
    f. Each Conversation of the Characters
    g. Each Dialogue of the Characters (Respective to the Actors/Actresses)
    h. Patch work cinematography
6. Choose appropriate Back Ground Music (BGM) to convey the emotion of each and every scene or dialog. Noticeable areas to enhance the action or drama with music:
    a. Introduction of Characters and the situations
    b. Theme BGM's for Characters, Plot and the Action/Drama portions
    c. BGM for Conversations
    d. BGM for Ups and Downs in a conversation of dialogues
7. BGM must convince the emotion of the scene and never over elevate or drain out the emotion or performance of the scene or the actor.
8. Write your screenplay to copulate with the pace of the movie.
9. Shoot your scenes with the EDITED Scene in your mind. Especially while Starting a shot and ending a shot ( E.G : While saying ACTION and CUT)
10. Imagine the emotion and any reference BGM while shooting a scene. Get all the required footage you want so that you can enhance it with Editing and BGM. If you dont imagine the emotion with a reference BGM you may feel that the scene is dry or dull while shooting. So forget about the immediate effect of the scene you just shot, and go ahead and take maximum footage you want and the maximum performances actors can potray.
11. Allow the actors to perform a particular scene or shot or dialogue in as many ways as they can perform. There is never a single perfect take. Even if you get a perfect take, go for another or more and if and only if the actor is willing and comfortable to do so.
12. Let it be a conversation scene or action scene or drama scene, try to shoot it as follows:
      a. As many angles as possible ans As many as different performances
      b. Make sure you get Long-shot, Medium-shot and Close-up
      c. Do not go for Extreme Close-up or Extreme Long-Shot unless and until its real contribution is needed to the story or the plot. (Read point 5)
      d. Get as much as Patch work footage you can. This is the area where one can openly use the artistic freedom of the cinematography without any hassles or the dates of the actors or their performances
