Writing the Script

Writing the initial script did cause us a little problem as we were all so focused on trying to make it sound like it belonged to the right era that we were making very little progress. Though this did make progress slow I do think it was a blessing in disguise as the effort we went into to make the dialogue fit our era on the first run through saved us having to go back and re-edit the whole thing once it was done. I don’t doubt that we will do some editing in the future but for the moment the first draft is complete and we are going to see what some actors feel about it in the seminar on Tuesday. Even if this is the first draft of our script I can’t help but feeling proud at how some of the dialogue sounds, I do believe that we have nailed the noir feel in a fair a few parts of the script.

 

With the first draft of our script complete we have begun discussing the other elements that we will require for this drama such as the costumes, locations and most importantly actors. Amy is sure she knows just the right actors for the parts and Chris has an idea for where our restaurant scene is going to take place we just need to go and ask permission. So the main problems we are looking at now are finding some sort of office space, which is crucial as this is a main setting for the drama, and sorting out the costumes but we have agreed to see what the actors have costume wise before we begin that search.

Back to the actual script writing there has been some questions raised about whether or not we are going for the right ending for our drama, I’m a little worried these questions may divide our group a bit and I hope we can solve this in a later meeting when all members of the group are present.
