Investigation 10/18

 What I'm working on

Right now I've got a few different scripts I'm working through all at different stages. I'm writing a drama which is working towards the final draft of the script. I'm also writing another action kind of film which is still in the very rough draft phase. For a bit of background, I've been experimenting with different writing processes. For the action film I'm using notecards and a cork board. When I get an idea for a scene or a conversation or even just a shot I'll write it down and pin it to the cork board. This way if I want to change the order of scenes, insert a scene, or cut a scene I just pin or unpin a note card. It allows for a much more free-flowing story. Below are pictures of the current notecards I've made in the order they appear on the board.

For this investigation I will be learning how to utilize story structure, two types of story structure, and when to deviate from the provided structure. Structure - Three Act Structure The three act structure is the most common structure for telling film narrative. The only downside to using this structure is it doesn't tie everything together like the next two. An example of a film that uses this structure is Mad M...
