My arts challenge is to research and learn about how to present/make scripts as this is my weakness and I cannot write or present scripts. My strengths that will help me throughout this challenge however is that I study creative writing and will help me function a story for my script. I'd like to challenge myself and hopefully by the end of the process be confident in writing/reading scripts. I will research different scripts and analyse how they are presented, I will then make my own scripts as this will help me gain ability in writing/presenting scripts.
I will be analysing my favourite films and TV shows as this will show my interests and style of writing that I have a interest in, such as shows such as The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and Under The Dome. I will also research random scripts that some unknown scriptwriters have made and see the contrast between them and my choices.
The main audience for my project will be over 16 as some of my scripts might be too disturbing as they will involve scripts from The Walking Dead which might not be suitable and won't be able to understand. The gender will vary as some scripts that I create might aim more at females however some may just aim at males and even both. The interests that my audience will/should have is interested in drama and horror as these will be the main genres that I will be writing in as these are exciting type of genres to write about. It will mainly interest people that are interested in films and scriptwriting.
My project will take place as soon as possible as I have many ideas in mind already of what I want to achieve and to research, I will aim to get at least 6 drafts of different types of my own scripts complete by the end of the course and to see my progress build as I will also researching about how to create/present scripts at the same time, to help with my understanding of scripts. I will be delivering my project by using screenshots of scripts that I have created on Microsoft word, adding links to my blogs showing what websites I have been researching, screenshots from the parts that help me with my progress and even images of scripts that I have printed off and analysed thoroughly. I will review my progress by keeping a track of how many scripts I have created and analysed and ask friends to make reviews on my progress on how I am improving or what I need to do to improve. By the end of my project I will have a better and clearer understanding on how to create and present scripts with the research and the making of the scripts throughout this course.
Sounds like an exciting Arts Challenge. You say you are going to create 6 scripts? This sounds like a lot to me - perhaps consider how long these would be - remember that one page is equal to one minute of screen time. Alternatively if you want to see your progress it might be more beneficial to produce 6 drafts and analyse how they change and improve over time.
ReplyDeleteCan you also create an action plan - use the headings in the handout I gave you and keep your points brief. We can have a look at the next session.
I look forward to reading your scripts!
