Script Writing!

This is the part I think most people in the group had been waiting for. As many of us didn't particularly enjoy the first 'Shoes' script, we had finally reached a point to where we can (within reason) let our own creative imaginations run wild.

When first writing the script I automatically assumed I would have hoards and hoards of ideas. To a certain degree I did, however, many of them when I started to write them down looked completely ridiculous. I battled with a select few ideas before resorting to asking some of my family which one they preferred. 'A Justified Presumption' was an idea that I thought provided an ambiguous yet intriguing story that would have been perfect for a short film time frame. The idea itself was based around an elderly man and a young boy who establish a seemingly harmless friendship that is continually attacked at by the young boys parents and roaming bullies in the area. I was initially quite satisfied with my script although I knew that there were some technical issues with the script that needed to be dealt with. After I had sat down with Mike and he pointed me in the right direction I felt a great deal more positive.

Although I enjoyed the script writing, detaching myself from the script was a problem I have to deal with. I had a very clear idea of what my film should look like so having to place my script into a group of others I felt that the general consensus was that people didn't like the idea that others could potentially butcher an idea that someone had spent a lot of time writing. I look forward to hearing the comments and feedback from the other group members as to how I can improve my script further.
