FINAL DRAFT
Here is an attachment of our final draft for our script. We did lots of changes, including deleting certain scenes to avoid running overtime, and changing the tone of the script to make it more of a thriller drama.
Script Development and Read Through
A few changes were made during and after the read through we had for the script. We had to change some dialogue for the main character in order to make his character more human, and changed a fragment of the storyline in order to make sense as the storyline needed improvement and the audience found it convoluted.
During the read through, a few changes were annotated in my first draft, including more direction on the second scene, and changing Officer Smith’s tone at the first scene to make him more aggressive. Due to absence to one of our group, My contributions for the group was to write the missing part of the script, and also to put all of our scenes together and made sure it all makes sense. I rewrote my draft after the annotations I made during and after the read through.
We try to stay in contact on Facebook and used that chance to discuss the changes further, including the plot twists, Dan’s character development; how he died, and the main character’s direction throughout the story. We also had to cut back a few scenes as we found it to be too long, as we did a test run and it took just over 10 min. So we had to delete scenes like Scott meeting Cindy after he was released from prison, but still changed it that the whole story makes sense.
Here’s a few shots of our read through in lesson:
