MAJOR PROJECT: Writing the Script/Development: Draft 2

After Josh came up with an initial idea for the project, he wrote a very first script with a beginning, middle and end that we could work from and take from there. Josh and I will be writing the script together, with some input from Ellen also as a Co-Writer. I took the first draft home and in my own time read it and highlighted anything that I questioned or thought needed to be changed. From the first draft of the script, we all had a screenwriting session using the TV in one of the production rooms to devise the second draft of the script which I have attached below. Using my notes, I voiced what I thought needed to be worked on and we have since altered it. There were several slap stick jokes in there that I felt were too silly and thought that we could be more clever with the overall humour in the script. Simon will be reading each version of the script as it progresses, so that he can voice some of his ideas and suggest changes to make. Having assistance with the script can help during moments of writer's block, which can be challenging. Although, I think that the script will need plenty of development in the next couple of weeks, I am feeling confident about the story structure and characters thus far.
