film class

one

as usual, heaven was the first person in the classroom. she always sat right up front so she could hear the professor perfectly. she had a love for filming and ever since she joined the film class at NYU she has loved it even more.

heaven used to live in albany but quickly got bored not living in a city. her whole live she wanted to be a film maker in a big city, so when she got accepted into NYU she packed her bags and found an apartment near the campus.

chris walked in shortly after heaven. he always sat on the left side of her. they don't really talk much, but they love to grab coffee together and do homework with each other. he towered over heaven, but almost everybody does considering she's only 5'2. his hair is the darkest brown it could possibly be while heaven's is the lightest blonde it could possibly be.

heaven doesn't make friends very easily. all her life she had wished she wasn't such a quiet person but she couldn't bring herself to speak up.

minutes later the classroom filled up and the professor started the lesson.

about thirty minutes into the class the professor says, "for our first project of the year i'm going to be assigning each of you a topic, and you can make a film about it."

chris raised his hand and said, "that's kind of vague. how long should it be? what kind of film?" heaven smiled when he asked these questions because she was wondering the same things but never in her life would she willingly talk to the class.

"i will give you your topic and you can make it however you like. whether its five minutes or five hours, i don't care, as long as it's good," he answered.

the professor called out names and topics afterwords. chris has to make a film about happiness. kylie has to make a film about war, which made perfect sense to heaven because she saw kylie as a terrible person, just like wars are terrible things.

the professor called out heaven's name, and no matter how many times he's said it her stomach still flips over. she starts to sweat and shake her leg because she hates nothing more than someone trying to make her talk in front of everyone. heaven didn't even reply before the professor said, "your film will be about love."

heaven was excited about this. a huge smile replaced the anxiety she started to feel in her stomach. seconds later she already started writing down her ideas on what the film will be about.

by the time class was over heaven had messily written down tons of ideas. her favorite one was her idea to film some things at the park. heaven picked up her back and ran to her car. she immediately decided she would go to the park to get some background footage. heaven was smiling the whole way there, and tried her best to not wonder off in her thoughts.

nothing has brought more joy into her life than creating films. for as long as she can remember she had always been stealing her mother's camera and tried to make videos. the fact that she got, what she thought, one of the most beautiful things in the world as her topic made her even more excited.

she pulled up a few blocks away from the park and decided to walk the rest of the way. she took her time walking there and looked at everything she passed.

she smiled as she saw a woman carrying her little baby down the sidewalk and pitied the boy who had just fallen and scraped his knee. as she finally arrived at the park she tried figuring out the best place to start film.
