Story-Telling: First & Second Draft

Now that I had finalised all the main points and moments for my idea, I began writing the script. I started by writing all the scenes I had already thought the most about, these were my moments. I then added other scenes in around those and hoped it made up 10 pages. Lucky for me it did. This was the first draft, it was awful as you would expect a first draft to be. Most of the dialogue didn't make sense and it was a bit to tell not show.

For the second draft I went back through the script and took out the bits I didn't like anymore. I either then replaced them with something better or used the free space to improve a different and more important scene. I worked on all the dialogue and tried to make it as minimal as possible. I tried to make everything make sense and make it a bit less of a telling script and more of a showing script. I also worked on some of my location descriptions at the start of each scene and I worked on the character descriptions too.

I then looked back over it and found more things to change. Onto the next draft!...
