When we first discussed this, I though it was the dumbest idea ever. I was dreading it because I didn't want to have to write that much... especially in high school with all of my tests coming up and because it was senior year. I actually felt kind of mad. I rerally didn't want to do it. I was actually satisfied with the project though by the end of it. I feel as though I really let my creativity fly and it has made me feel quite accomplished. So, I liked it. I felt that the outline was the most important thing from the script frenzy workbook. It made it easy to write the script because my words could just flow and I didn't have to worry about what was next. I don't really believe any of the pages weren't helpful but I do think that it got a bit repetitive at some points. There were some areas where I had to explain my characters like five times. I learned that I am a huge perfectionist from doing this project. It was hard for me to write a lot because I kept focusing on developing everything and it slowed me down. By the end, I was able to let it all go and right many pages in just a few days but the first 25 days or so, I only wrote like 25 pages. The last five days I wrote another 28 pages. I finished with 53 pages. I was horrible at the time management at first but it developed later on and I got better with it. By the end, I just focused on getting words down and it was much easier. I didn't even py attention to spelling by the end. It was a pain to let that go at the beginning. I'm glad I learned how to let it go though. It can be very helpful sometimes. My script is very well planned out and has so much potential so I feel that that is a very strong point. I'm very proud of my fight scene in Elkhorn and my careful planning. I feel as though this could be such a good story. My script has many weaknesses. For one, I never explained what happened to the old woman. Also, I could create a better relationship with the old man and Exton and develop Exton's personality better. Also, it still has no ending! If we had more time, I'd focus on getting the whole story down. Once that is done, I'd revise it for more intricate planning so that the story has ins and outs. But, first thing is first. I've gotta get my story down.
