[Extra] Script Writing Class

On the 12th of October, I attended a Script writing class with Will, Gary and Luke, to help improve our script writing skills and to improve our current script for the Royal Armories project. When we entered the class we each spoke about our scripts, there were a few people from the Film and Moving image production course who were also in the lesson to talk about their scripts for the Royal Armories. Each person talked about his/her/their script, with a response and feedback from the tutor, me and Will talked about the script for the Royal Armories and after we read the plot Will responded with something along the lines of "After the feedback from everyone else, I am starting to not like our plot." Which honestly, I can agree with him on that. The tutor gave us a few pointers towards what we should do with the script, it doesn't really need a rewrite, but a few ideas need to be tweaked.

If the lesson did one thing, it made us realize how dry our idea is, there is no main protagonist, no 3 act structure and no clear motive. Though the original idea was for it to be a quick short explaining the creation of the helmet, and to show it in an epic way. Before we start the actual production we'll possibly rethink the idea or stick with it and tweak some of the plot.
