• Evaluation of usefulness of above /What useful information did you extract


The Evaluation

 

  • Published scripts (How we looked at existing scripts to understand format)
  • Factual information / Secondary Research (Looking at news for ideas)
  • Adaptations (How we adapted short stories into treatments)
  • Primary research / Speculation / Opinion (How you turned personal experiences into ideas)

 

The looking at published scripts was good because it helped me better my understanding of scripts, i.e. the different types of format for scripts and how each one is supposed to be used. This then helped me as I created my own script.

Looking at news for ideas was educational because as well as learning new things, news articles helped because I turned 2 into logline pitches. Then from logline pitch to treatment which is overall like the whole unit. So looking at news articles were definitely useful.

Going on to treatments again was useful because treatments are basically stories and we basically had to create our own one to gain understanding of many techniques and whatnot.

Out of all these sub tasks I would have to say that turning my personal experience into ideas was my favourite. I believe this was because my personal experience was so exciting and fun. It was talking about my experience on ncs. Then when it came to picking one of the best scripts in our group of 4, everyone decided to choose my script as it’s the best.
