The HEROINE’S STORY - discussion thread
rehna March 28th, 2010
Hi everyone
This is the place for you to discuss any matter you want with others from the course (and anyone else you think might be interested to join).
We can continue discussing a topic from the course
We can discuss an entirely new subject about women in movies
We can share tips etc.
We can ask questions about our personal projects.
I start with a question:
My script centres around a teenage girl and her mother. Their relationship is disrupted by a third party but the 3P is a less important character than mother and daughter. I wanted a a visually strong opening scene that has immediate impact. So I wrote it with daughter and 3P appearing first.
However, I’ve been advised that my opening scene should feature the mother and daughter as they are the central characters ie that I shoud set up the relationship before I set about disrupting it via the 3P. I’ve re-written it and it makes more sense but has less immediate impact.
Any thoughts?
