Although most of the screenplay lies ahead of us, we have finished Act I and the beginnings of Act II with only the most minor hitches. I feel we need to focus on what is necessary for our story. I do not want a script full of filler information, action, and dialogue that have no purpose. I want to shock people with the plot. I want the audience to have ohmygod did-that-just-happen moments when they watch anything I write or collaborate on. I have a feeling that with Amber and I working as a team, we can accomplish all of this and more.
Another reason I am so happy with how smoothly the screenplay is going is because my SkillsUSA project is proving more stressful than I had previously thought. However, I have faith in Alexa and myself, and I know we will get our project as great as we can before we go to state competition on the 4th of April. I am excited to leave for San Diego, so the stress the project brings is worth the benefit of being prepared for the competition!
I can't wait to finish the screenplay and the Skills project over break with Amber and Alexa, respectively. I have confidence that both projects will turn out amazing!
It is interesting how you and Amber decided to split script writing. :) Jachelle and I are writing everything together, although now I kind of want to try your technique out. Like you, I also want Jachelle and my script to be amazing and contain those shocking moments because they are the best ones.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Skills Project...it is stressful! Although I enjoy it because it is a new challenge and that is never something bad in my opinion.
There's many different types of writing techniques. I'm not too keen on splitting the script writing. I can't speak for Alexa, but I actually prefer writing with her. I feel like writing separately might make our script seem to choppy.
