The way I wrote it was pretty much in chronological order, I used the treatment that I had already written, to work through scene by scene as to what it would include. Overall I struggled the most with the actual dialogue that i wanted the characters to say, i knew where they were starting and i knew where i wanted them to be by the end, in terms of the narrative, but what they had to say during was what i struggled with. It was hard to phrase what i wanted them to say because i felt like I was writing it in the language that i personally would use, instead of what i wanted the characters to be like.
I'm happy with the result of the first draft because I'm glad i managed to write the story from beginning to end without having to miss any out. I think I underestimated how hard it would be to write a script, having and creating a story is one thing, but having to write an entire script is something that is completely different. Having to know where each scene is taking place, which characters are involved, describing the action that is going on in the shot/scene as well as the standard dialogue. When I finished the draft, i have read through it and identified points i am unhappy with or would like to change, I will then sit down with Laura (director) and discuss with her any changes she suggests as well. The points I identified were as follows -
-Few spelling and grammatical errors
-Improve the adjectives used within the action (e.g. downcast, distraught, frantic etc)
-Something missing in the last scene; perhaps the resolution happens too quickly
