general feedback on your stories/scripts:
- work out the 3-Act-Structure & Character Bio (point form/relevant info)
- work out treatment (point form/write AV, as u see/hear the show)
- at least script draft1 should be ready by next week
- for those with scripts, work on editing (make every word count)
those who are unsure of your story:
- discuss with your classmates,
- ask them for help & constructive comments.
- u don't have to follow any comments or suggestions
- try to see your story from another point of view.
- ask questions about your stories & character's behaviours/reactions to tighten the loose ends
on your scripts:
- no offense, but be cruel about cutting off words/dialogue that do not work for your story
- test: if u take out the phrases/words and it doesn't change your story, REMOVE.
- write info necessary for your story
- every word in your script counts & must be there for your story to work
- for improving on dialogue, rewrite/edit - say it better - keep it short, keep it easy to understand
- ask your classmates to help do a "script read", use voices to "act" your script out, see if the script/dialogue work when read
