Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification for even the smallest details. While you’re making your way through the script, the gears will start turning and you’ll begin formulating ideas for how to turn fantasy into reality.  A good set designer will need to collaborate closely with the writer, director and art department in order to arrive at a specific vision for a scene.  The more time you spend dissecting a script or treatment, the more fully you’ll be able to develop your ideas by the time production kicks off. Realizing a finished set begins with understanding the needs of the story. Always be asking yourself questions like, “What is going on in this scene?” “What is the exact setting and time period?” and “How does this character live?” Key considerations like these will help you create a set that serves as a believable snapshot of a particular place and time.  The set is a vital part of any scene. Think about the ways the characters will interact with it and what central features should attract the audience's attention. A character’s style, personality and motivations can give you clues as to how best to shape their surroundings.

When things get tough, keep in mind what drew you to the field in the first place. Your passion will help carry you through.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When making new friends, the best way to start is to look at the places you already know. You probably have people in your everyday life that you haven't really met or talked to. So try talking to them first. To make a new friend, you need to seek out those people you haven't talked to yet. It's important to think outside the box. You may not have talked to someone because you didn't think you would like them, but to make new friends, you need to be open to a wide variety of people. Remember, people aren't always what they seem. You may think someone may not make a good friend just by looking at them, but you don't know what that person is like until you get to know them. Making new friends means opening yourself up to new possibilities. You have to change things up. Try sitting somewhere new at lunch for instance. Sitting with a new group of people is ideal, but even just sitting in a different part of the cafeteria can make a difference. You could also try a different hang out spot. If you usually hang out in the library after school, try moving to the gym or the courtyard, for instance. Joining a sport can help you make friends.

It doesn't have to be a club or even something associated with your school. You could join community clubs or classes, too.
