Okay so orientation was from 9am to 6pm. A loonnnnnnngggg time. I couldn't remember if they served food so I brought a makeshift lunch comprised of goldfish, an apple, gum, and a camelback water bottle. Brought it all in a Kavu rope bag and even though they did serve us on the border for lunch I was snacking on those goldfish all day. So anyway. We get to orientation and they start talking to us about the history, the curriculum, the staff etc of the film school for two hours. Victims advocate and the PD come and talk to us too that way we're not filming a robbery scene and some civillian walks by and thinks its a real robbery and calls the cops and things get ugly etc.
They told us about our 'organic' schedules and how every week we get a different call sheet that tells each track where they need to be and when. For example, I am BFA Track 2 so I need to be in sound stage A on Monday at 2:15 pm. But not every monday just the monday that school starts. eventually we'll get a schedule detailing the whole week but for right now we only have one day.
They say that they teach us craft as a way to art. Kinda like how you need to know how to use a paintbrush and mix color before you can actually paint well (I mean you can paint without mixing color or using a paintbrush but It might be a little reminiscent of childhood finger painting). So basically we will have 6 weeks of 12 hr days where we learn how to use the equipment and then we learn on the job. NOTE TO SELF: NEED TO GET GLOVES AND WEAR CLOSE-TOED SHOES (my digits are very important- or so they tell us).
We break for lunch in sound stage B which is the smaller one and also the colder one so I started sneezing my head off- I think I might be coming down with something. I just kinda hang around with the girls who I'm really close too because I don't really know anybody else and I figured that I'm going to get to know them on the job so spare the awkward interactions till then.
After that we go on an extended walking tour of the film school which is like the two other walking tours I took when I was a junior in HS and when I had my interview. They had alot more to tell us though and we were divided into six small groups in order to go on six different roatations that lasted about 30 mins each. It was really cool. They showed us the sound stages, and the foley room, and the editing bay, and the mixing room (which I'm kinda perplexed on its purpose) and the offices which have no names, and the library (where I'll be spending alot of time) and they used vocab that I have never heard before and I'm sure they'll teach us later but if not- I'm wayyyyyy over my head here.
