Session 6: Script writing

When we returned to construct the script, I decided not to put forward my idea. Though I was happy with it, I felt like it would be more fitting to begin a fresh with the ideas of the entire group and see what we could come up with. Both Zosia and Matt spearheaded the writing and did a superb job. We decided that the green house was our favourite of the location ideas we had come up with, also night being our favourite time setting. After that we developed both story and characters from the ideas that had come from the activities in the previous sessions. An elderly person and a young person seemed to work quite well in the setting, both were later decided to be male as that sex seemed to fit. It was decided that our conflict in the film would be caused by the father of the boy who then would get angry and destroy a plant in the greenhouse which would later be revealed to be the old mans. after this, the boy would meet the man, feel guilty, but ultimately end up tending to the plants for the old man. Matt wrote up a draft of this after the session which was sent out to us to read for discussion in the next session. However, everyone seemed pleased with the concept.
