Script to Screen: Story Layout 01
After a conversation and some more thought I have finally managed to narrow down the mind maps into two story ideas that I think I can work with. I'm happy that I managed to draw away from the setting being in a prison that I felt made the idea feel generic and easy, whereas with these ideas I feel I can manipulate the layout or the tone to see how it effects the final piece, although I still have a way to go with characters, conflict, story layout and ending. Feedback is still appreciated.
So... looking at these maps, I think there's a risk that you're not connecting with a specific enough theoretical framework; you need something meatier for a 2000 word assignment, which will require of you that you demonstrate good technical knowledge of a theoretical context. My experience is colour theory can quickly encourage a student to become 'descriptive' - I'm wondering if Baby Driver is 'ideas-driven' enough, as my experience of that film was that it was wonderfully entertaining and joyously superficial... like much of that director's work. Can I ask you to consider some additional potential topics, as most of your classmates thrashed out three different possible case-studies. I'd suggest perhaps that you need to look at things that are more possibly 'problematic' or 'under tension' so as to create lots of room for debate and discussion...
