My first ever attempt at writing a screenplay
I have to say that it is a process that fluctuates from periods of joy to periods of extreme low and distress. Looking back I wrote my first 3 pages in an evening, but after that it went downhill. The overall problem I had with the story is that it was not enough content to fill a 10 minute script. I have always had the general ideas, with a solid beginning and end but the issue has been filling in the gaps.
However I have somehow managed it and been able to fill in the gaps with the help of a new minor character.
New minor character: OLD MAN (Name not given)
Mysterious old man sitting on a bench in the clearing, with life lessons for the unassuming YOUNG MAN.
I believe it is ok for a first try and I feel that I wrapped it up ending it well and true, but I am sure I will find out when we get our scripts back.
The whole experience has made me think about the possibility of writing because I feel like I have a lot of ideas, but it is a matter of being able to put them into screenplay form.
