Hello Readers,
This week, for this unit, I decided to focus on familiarizing myself with professional scripting software and start adding details on my story.
The scripting software I chose Celtx studio since it is available for free. Firstly I watched tutorials on how to use the platform and searched the websites help center for extra information. An initial dilemma that I had was whether I would choose to start typing my script in the VR script editor mode that the software offers or at the Film & TV script editor mode.
I imported my initial summary of the script in both editing modes and continued working on my script in both. I then realized that, at least for the stage that I am currently at, in my script, the TV & Film editor works better for me, so I stuck with that (for now).
My short story is basically a uniquely different episode of Rick and Morty where there is an intergalactic pandemic and Morty deals with it. Therefore, prior to starting to type any dialogue and scene detail in my story, I conducted research on the original scripts of the series. I also researched each character separately and became familiar with their mannerism and their way of expressing theirselves.
At the moment I have completed writing scene 1, which includes almost all of act one. Scene two includes a small part of act one and all of act two. Finally, scene three includes all of act three. My next steps are to start developing my ideas on scenes 2 & 3, based on the summary that I have already typed.
Thank you for reading,
see you next week.
