Post 8: Decisions & Revisions

Decisions & Revisions

Post 8 is requires us to h step of our thought process, the feedback that we received from other classmates and our media teacher. We also have to show the research we collated, and how we evand edfeffwhshow and evaluate our research in order to support the development of your character. We also have to show our basic plot outlines and character Profile.

The first step we went through in order to create ideas for our film was to; make notes on the11 main characteristics a film script should entail. These included;

World

Character

Problem

Want

Need

Obligation

Beginning

Middle

End

First turning point

Second turning point

We then had to show how how we could link all of the above to our film script. Initially I found the task developing my script a lot more challenging then I had originally anticipated. This

was partly due to the fact that I could not come up with any of my own ideas for the narrative to my film. I found that when ever I watched, analyzed, or reviewed a film, I involuntarily took in it was shot, therefore, when we were given the task to create our own film script, I could not come up with any of my own ideas. Having just watched the short film, ‘Signs’, I found that my thought process would sway toward the way in which Signs was made and produced, (wit

hout any verbal communication, just using ‘signs’). My idea finally came from events that have recently occurred in my life, giving me inspiration, and ideas as to what I could base my script on. This thought process then linked to other events and my idea for a script finally came together.
