PRE-PRODUCTION: Motherhood Opening Script (First Draft) & Package Change

An addition to my Pre-Production package is the opening script which is the first 10 pages. I had made the decision to write a script instead of doing the Opening Title sequence as the focus of my package changed. I felt like I had been focussing all of my time into the contents of the book and the planning process for the Opening Titles was beginning to become an after thought. I didn't want to leave the Opening Titles until the end of writing the book as I felt like this would not do the titles justice. I voiced to Simon about my concerns that the book had become very text heavy and was much more about the written content as opposed to visual imagery. Therefore, it made logical sense to me to focus my remaining time on an opening script instead. I felt interested in challenging my creative writing skills and attempting to write the first 10 pages of the pilot episode which should set up the episode. The series begins with the abduction of Elise and leads on from there. I found writing the first draft challenging but am pleased with the outcome of it.
