A Success Story
Writing the actual idea on paper is the hardest part of my project. I've written and typed Act I but it's not done yet. I have to get someone to read it and give me the feedback any writer would look for. I promise to share with you all the first draft of this Act and please, please feel free to tell me what you think.
Drawing is an essential part of this play. Who here can testify they've understood a piece of literature better by seeing a work of art or a film? I'm not doing anything like this for you all but for myself instead. Along with writing the first part to my play has been drawing pictures of these scenes I imagine happening every moment that someone is talking. I'll also make these images available for you if you dare take a peek at what exactly goes on in my head.
It is great to have tons of ideas. I am super glad that your project is moving along. But, I think that one thing that could help you focus is just trying to get that idea that you most like or just find what you want to portray. I can't wait to see the first act!
ReplyDeleteYou should use a program called Celtx. It helps be organized when it comes to writing a script, making a storyboard, and figuring out the roles of your characters. This program will make it easier for you to focus on your story and there will be a less chance of your going off on tangents.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's actually what I've been looking for instead of using the Microsoft Word.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ale you should have a storyboard to start with! I think that you should have an audition for the parts or at least to see how you want it to come out, to have a sense of what you want it to look like because sometimes things don't come out as planned. It is always great to have a back up plan. Lorena I think that your play will be great don't doubt yourself. Do what you do best. Also remember that we have a short amount of time to do things so don't focus too much on drawing. Other than that keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that it would be nice to have a few images if my play were ever printed! Thanks, you're right about the storyboard thing but I'm beyond that point. I just need to format the conversations correctly.
ReplyDeleteLook at the way people actually talk. Try and make it real and it will sound good. Keep the conversations simple and that way you will draw a larger audience, even those who are hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobic like me lol.
