Documentary Unit: Draft Script

Yesterday I started a draft script for the documentary using the ordering and features that Mary and I had previously discussed. I found this template that our tutor had presented to us very helpful...

Using this as a guideline, we managed to present an impressive draft script to our tutor...

First page

She found the script very professional and well laid out, especially considering we had never created a documentary script before. So we're very happy with the result. The feedback we received for our draft was also extremely helpful. With suggestions of statistics to explore, contacts to try and talk to for potential interviews or extra information and tips on our set shots and sequences, I think we're already really starting to make a lot of progress in our work. Another noticeable suggestion that was made was to bring our central character and our minor character together, so I think that we'll make this addition to the script.

However, the biggest change we've made today was beginning to write our commentary, as the original draft only focused on visuals and a brief outline of the commentary. I think our scripting over the voice over lines will be very effective in editing...

New first page

We still have a lot of work to do, but I think we already have a very strong script.
