Week 10
Exam Pre Production –
Peter Williams
For my part in the pre-production I was the screenwriter, so
it was my job to write out the script for the scene. This was challenging for
me as I am not familiar with soap operas, therefore I decided to watch several
episodes of 3 different soap operas, I noticed that it was common within all
three to include romantic affairs between characters already in relationships with
other people and that the setting was in a relatively normal town or city,
there weren’t any major world changing events that had occurred. Just regular people
going about their lives. Therefore, I decided to keep to the tradition of
having an affair, except I added my own twist into it by making Faith a leading
light in an unnamed crime family. The original script ended with Faith assuring
her dominance over Jon by threatening to upload the video if he didn’t comply
with her wishes, this script however, when acted out was three and a half
minutes long and therefore, too short. So, I had to lengthen it however, due to
a misunderstanding in communication, the next version was 10 minutes long, so I
had to then shorten it by half that which ended with the final version of the
script.
