@PHIL Fantastic Voyage: Script 01 and Improvements
This is my first script for my Fantastic Voyage project on Evolution and Variation. I have tried to keep the script short and the story to the point in hopes of bulking up what I have here, rather than trying to shorten down a bigger story like what occurred in Script to Screen. I have tried to base my story in the same style as games like Animal Crossing or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon in terms of layout, so sections in the script for GAMEPLAY will mean that the style of the story will shift more to a gaming style, compared to a CUT SCENE, that will play out more in the style of a traditional animated story. This is because I want my project to lean more on Lets Play videos on Youtube, so the style of the story I want to take inspiration from Story based games like Animal Crossing, but still have a core story and plot to them. I feel the script might need some more tweaking, especially near the end, but I want some feedback first to see if the main story is okay while I start...
Hey Odette - wow - this is a long, in-depth response - which I hope comes from discovering some legitimate interest in the subject. You touch on some interesting stuff here and I like the way you interrogate the 'racism' of Kong and mount a support of the film above and beyond what we may find distasteful. Very obviously, you've got enough 'oomph' here for a first draft of your written assignment. I would say - more generally - that in terms of project management everything else, you might want to put your own limits around how much time you're giving these reviews. There's probably a sweet-spot here. Just in terms of your introduction, it's not quite there structurally in so much as you're introducing the film, and not the nuts and bolts of the review you've written. Take another look at the guidance from last week on myUCA/Contexts.
ReplyDeleteThe general point I want to make is to congratulate you on committing so whole-heartedly to this - but also ask you to reflect on the balance of your project-management to ensure you're workload is manageable and your energies sustainable.
As Phil says...wow! Yes, you are indeed on your way to having your first essay drafted :)
ReplyDeleteMy only point would be that you could do with some more images to back up your discussion, especially as you are making frequent visual references - show us the islanders, for example!
Good stuff !
