Storytelling Unit - Storytelling task

Yesterday we had a task to get in small groups and create a two page script from one of our journeys to the studios. This was to help get us introduced to using Final Draft for scriptwriting. I worked with Aquila and Helen. We decided to use Aquila's journey to uni, as we thought it would be more interesting to add situations to.

Aquila came up with the idea that the character could have bad incidents that happen throughout the story. We thought that it would be a simple yet fun way to add funny situations to.
After discussing what type of incidents that could happen we came up with:

- Missing the bus
- Not having enough money for the bus
- Can't find her phone
- Getting splashed by a puddle
- A bee attacking her
- The studios being closed
- Having clothes that don't match/inside out
- Leaving her bag on the bus

Here is the final copy of our script:

Simon marked our script and said it was good, but it was a bit short. Also that we could have capitalised the actions of the character. Overall it was positive feedback as we didn't need to change any of the story, we just have to be more careful when writing a script.

By doing this task it really helped me get into writing scripts, and was very good practise for when I have to write the script for my project idea. It also made me think that screenwriting is definitely something I want to pursue in.

I really enjoyed yesterdays lesson, and liked working with Aquila and Helen and hope that i'll be able to make future projects with them.
