We are currently going through more and more redrafts of the script that we are developing, and I saw this quote and thought it would make a cool title and how true the quote is. Mankiewicz was an american producer and film maker so he knows what he’s talking about…
Anyway, we have had several redrafts from the original script that Lousia had drafted, each changing parts and ideas. We had a meeting with James, our lecturer, and he gave us a few ideas. The main problem we are having is we always seem to come up with two solutions or drafts to the issues in hand and can’t choose which is the best direction in which to take. Although this is good as we are refining the draft to be the best that it can be, but at the same time it’s still rolling on week by week and the constant agreement/disagreement is being to get annoying. I personally can’t wait for a nice tight script to be finished, which I’m sure will come eventually and we are doing well with it but still, times ticking…
So where are we are now? Well, We have once again got two directions with the script and both of them have the same scene that needs some consideration. As we couldn’t agree on which would be the final script, it was thought best to write another two versions and see which is best. That way we will definately have a finished script this weekend and we can quickly move on to storyboards. Andy
