Final Post

May 14, 2007

I agree with the previous posts that say this was the best project so far. Constructing characters and scenes was a lot of fun. I really like my final script and am almost attached in a wierd way to the characters I created. The process of editing ideas is really hard. Like with most any writing, in the end, the editing is the strength of the final piece. In this industry not just any crap is going to get taken seriously. And even very good work will get rejected or just plain ignored. So you have to come with something very strong if you expect people to take notice. My emphasis in the BECA program isn’t writing, but I found script writing to be something I wouldn’t mind doing in the future. I think the different dialects and whats inside the characters’ head is what is intriguing. You don’t get that with writing advertisements or even the synopsis. Then, the way you take this idea of a character and try to portray that in dialogue, it makes me respect what writers of a really good series does. I say series especially, because there can be such a long run for the same characters. It makes me understand why they always just take a shortcut and throw a new cute little kid in a sitcom and hope it works.
