Reading Response

     These links were useful in creating a checklist for our Unit 2 production. Having step by step instructions on how to create a script will definitely help keep me on track while I focus primarily on tailoring my content to a specific audience. The readings helped me see the benefits of using the script format. Writing a script takes an outline of a premise and turns it into an actual guide for production. I think the idea of using opposites from The Script Lab will work best for my video because I want my audience to compare fast food and local food for themselves and having two characters to represent each of those would be interesting. The site also suggested keeping dialogue brief and to show the story rather than tell it. My scenes are very dialogue heavy but with this I advice I plan to keep my character narrating while showing the action in a cutaway scene. The other readings brought up genre and how it is a good idea to make your story recognizable in some way. I plan to incorporate a familiar genre (Mac vs. PC commercial) in my script. Overall, these readings reminded me to keep my audience interested with a good story as well as keeping my message clear.
