Extra Credit Post

I’ve actually learned a lot from doing this final script.  I’ve written many scripts for video productions before, where you do the audio side and the visual side, but before this assignment, I had never written an actual script.  What I’ve learned is how there is so much detail that goes into writing a script, just about the format.  I never realized that there was an exact number of inches needed for each different part of the script; it’s good to know, because I also didn’t realize that a company would throw a script out, if one small thing is off on the formatting; it’s kind of crazy, but I guess it does make sense since they probably receive hundreds of scripts a week.

I’ve also learned how to write dramatically and develop characters through the script, without actually having to give the audience a full background of the person beforehand.  This assignment has taught me a lot, and I think it will help me in my future production classes, as well as my future in the entertainment industry.
